Front Body Control Module (FBCM) Removal/Installation

CAUTION:

If configuration is not performed when the front body control module (FBCM) is replaced with a new one, the vehicle specification information is not stored in the front body control module (FBCM) and the system will not operate normally.
When performing configuration, it is necessary to read the vehicle specification information from the front body control module (FBCM) before replacing it. Connect the M-MDS to the vehicle and perform vehicle identification before removing the front body control module (FBCM). The vehicle specification information is temporarily stored in the M-MDS.
Do not switch the ignition ON until all connectors are connected.

A new front body control module (FBCM) does not store any vehicle specification information.
If the vehicle specification information from the front body control module (FBCM) prior to replacement cannot be read, perform the configuration using As-Built data.

When replacing the front body control module (FBCM), perform the configuration. (See FRONT BODY CONTROL MODULE (FBCM) CONFIGURATION (USING READ/WRITE FUNCTION) .)
