Control Module Programming: Notes

Some control modules require programming after replacement for proper system operation. See appropriate application table for programming information. If replacing a programmable module, see PROGRAMMABLE MODULE INSTALLATION PROCEDURE . Some modules have the ability to have customer preferences configured such as belt minder, chimes, autolock/relock, etc. For programming customer preferences, see CUSTOMER PREFERENCES .
