SERVICE INFORMATION
The Body Control Module (BCM) for the Applied Vehicles above is now shipped as a “blank” unit.
As with previous BCM replacements, when a blank unit is installed, the configuration process must be
performed.
When performing Configuration, the Read/Write method is recommended. It is the best process for
getting the new BCM configured properly.
When a blank unit is installed as a replacement:


Read/Write Configuration will work the same as with previous replacement units.



Manual Configuration will require obtaining a “Type ID” from the electronic parts catalog (FAST or
equivalent).

Refer to Using A Blank Replacement BCM on the next page for additional information.

Infiniti Bulletins are intended for use by qualified technicians, not 'do-it-yourselfers'. Qualified technicians are properly trained
individuals who have the equipment, tools, safety instruction, and know-how to do a job properly and safely. NOTE: If you believe
that a described condition may apply to a particular vehicle, DO NOT assume that it does. See your Infiniti dealer to determine if this
applies to your vehicle.

USING A BLANK REPLACEMENT BCM
Read/Write Configuration
Using Read/Write Configuration will work the same as with previous replacement BCMs, and is the preferred
method for performing configuration.


Follow the configuration steps using CONSULT-III plus (C-III plus), the Electronic Service Manual
(ESM), and the C-III plus Operators Manual.



Check ASIST for any TSBs that may be related to the specific system you are working on. From time to
time TSBs are published that give helpful information for BCM configuration.



After BCM configuration is complete: Register I-Keys, Key-Fobs (If applicable), and complete the
TPMS registration.
NOTE:


Some older models may not be compatible with Read/Write Configuration.



If your vehicle is not compatible, the C-III plus screen shown in Figure 1 will display when the Read
process is attempted.



In this case, use Manual Configuration on the next page.

Manual Configuration When Installing a Blank BCM
Use Manual Configuration if the old BCM is not accessible (cannot be read) with C-III Plus, or is not compatible
with Read/Write Configuration.
1. Manual Configuration will require obtaining the “Type ID” from the electronic parts catalog (FAST or
equivalent).
a. The VIN must be used to look up the BCM part number.
b. The BCM (CONTROLLER ASSY-BCM) part number will be listed as shown in Figure 2.
c. The Type ID (ID NO FOR BCM CONFIGURATION) will be listed as shown in Figure 2.
d. Write down the Type ID number; it will be used to perform Manual Configuration.
1. Must use VIN

2. Make sure ASIST on the CONSULT PC has been synchronized (updated) to the current date and all C-III
plus software updates (if any) have been installed.


The CONSULT PC automatically gets applicable configuration data during ASIST synchronization.

3. Install the new “blank” BCM.
4. Turn ON the Hazard Lights (4 way flashers).
5. Connect the CONSULT PC to the vehicle.
6. Open/start C-III plus.
7. Navigate C-III plus to perform Manual Configuration.
8. When you get to the screen shown in Figure 3, enter the Type ID number you obtained from step 1.
NOTE: If the screen shown in Figure 3 does not display, recheck the replacement BCM part number using
FAST. Make sure a “blank” BCM has been installed.
9. After entering the Type ID, select Next and navigate C-III plus to compete the configuration process.


When using the Type ID to perform manual configuration, manually selecting the “Setting Values” is
not needed.

Step 8: Enter

10. After BCM configuration is complete: Register I-Keys, Key-Fobs (If applicable), and complete the TPMS
registration.

11. Check ASIST for any TSBs that may be related to the specific system you are working on.


From time to time TSBs are published that give helpful information for BCM configuration.
