B389A GMC Description
When certain modules are programmed and configured during installation, the module learns a specific environment identifier which is unique to the vehicle. The environment identifier is used to prevent the swapping modules between vehicles. The Body Control Module (BCM) is the keeper of the environment identifier. The instrument cluster, electronic brake control module, HVAC control module, inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module, Engine Control Module (ECM), and steering column lock module (if equipped) each learn the environment identifier during their configuration process. During vehicle operation, the BCM sends the immobilizer identifier as a challenge and each module responds to the challenge by sending the environment identifier back to the BCM. If the BCM sends an incorrect immobilizer identifier or a specific number of incorrect environment identifiers are received, vehicle starting is disabled. The Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) sets when an incorrect immobilizer identifier was broadcast by the BCM.
When I originally commented I clicked the
“Notify me when new comments are added” checkbox and now each time
a comment is added I get several e-mails with the same comment.
Is there any way you can remove me from that service?
