Control Module

Service and repair operations for the Vehicle Security Module (VSM) require initial actions because electronic modules remain delicate to electrical voltage that can result in module breakdown. The process of module removal requires the technician to upload RKE TICs information through the scan tool because this data will be needed for the new module post-installation. Start by taking out the right-hand A-pillar lower trim panel and then detach the two VSM bolts while aiming to fasten them to 6 Nm (53 lb-in) torque upon the installation step. Remove the VSM by separating its two electrical connectors. A successful PMI operation allows the RKE TICs to be transferred automatically to the new module but RKE transmitter testing remains essential before vehicle return to the customer. Customer RKE transmitters require programming to the new module whenever the upload/download process fails. The installation completion follows the steps for reversing the removal process.

Service on the Vehicle Security Module starts with removing power from the battery to protect its inner components from electric charges. Career on by taking out the right-hand A-pillar lower trim panel which provides access to the module. The vehicle security module should first have its electric connectors removed before unthreading the securing nuts. During the process of installing a new module the remote keyless entry transmitters require programming. The installation process requires performing the steps in reverse order to the removal process.

The first step to work on the Body Control Module requires disconnecting the battery to protect its electronic modules from electrical damage. Remove the right-hand A-pillar lower trim panel before taking out the two nuts holding the vehicle security module. While installing these nuts follow the torque specifications of 12 Nm (9 lb-ft). You need to detach both electrical connectors in order to take out the vehicle security module. New RKE transmitters need programming during the installation process of a new security module. After accomplishing the reinstallation you should reverse the steps used for removal.
