BCM Key Programming

This procedure is for vehicles that are not equipped with the Radio Frequency Hub (RFH). If the vehicle is equipped with a RFH, refer to MODULE, RADIO FREQUENCY (RF HUB), MODULE PROGRAMMING .

• All customer keys, including any previously programmed and replacement keys, must be learned during this procedure.
• The Body Control Module (BCM) may be programmed to recognize up to a total of eight key fobs. When replacing or adding a key fob, the replacement/additional key fob must be ordered through your parts department by VIN. The new key will arrive within 24 hours cut to match the door lock cylinder in the vehicle for which it will be used. Once the new key fob arrives, the BCM must be programmed to recognize it as a valid key fob.
• If any previously programmed keys are not re-programmed during this procedure, they will be permanently disabled.
• The entire key procedure will require the key to be in the OFF position and with the hazard lights turned on.
• If the wrong key code is entered three times in a row it will lock out the BCM for a period of 24 hours.
• Do NOT at any point during the procedure hit the CLOSE button, always hit CONTINUE until procedure says it is completed successfully and it is now safe to turn off hazards. Hitting the CLOSE button will cause the routine to end without learning the key.

If at any point the customer needs a BCM replacement. The keys should be already programmed to the BCM. If the vehicle exhibits a start and stall situation after the BCM is replaced the keys may need to be reprogrammed using the "Program Keys" procedure in the diagnostic scan tool.
