Notes

Remote-start climate/duration menus are added separately via IPC 720-02-02 (see IPC tab of the spreadsheet).

How to apply it

  1. Back up every module's As-Built data and keep the files somewhere safe.
  2. Connect FORScan with a battery maintainer on, ignition ON and engine OFF.
  3. Open Configuration and Programming, choose the BCM module, open As-Built Format and edit only the digit described by the source.
  4. Write, follow any module reset prompt, cycle the ignition, then confirm the feature and check for new trouble codes.
