The brake control module (BCM) is programmed at the factory with software for several car models. During the first ignition cycle, the control module reads the vehicle configuration data from the central electronic module (CEM). The brake control module (BCM) then configures itself according to the car model and equipment.

Diagnostic trouble code (DTC) BCM-0076 may be stored if

• a brake control module (BCM) is installed that has previously been used in another car
• a central electronic module (CEM) is installed that has previously been used in another car
• software for another car is downloaded into the brake control module (BCM).

Substitute Value 

• Traction control is blocked
• Stability control is blocked
• Active yaw control is blocked.
