Body Control Module (BCM)
A customer may describe that the remote key is not recognized and doesn't open/close the
door locks.
In some cases the engine may not start due to the fact that a valid key is not recognized.
Upon further investigation the technician may find the Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs):

B105D-64 - Doors Deadlock Or Unlock Driver-Signal Plausibility Failure.

DIAGNOSIS:
Using a Scan Tool (wiTECH) with the appropriate Diagnostic Procedures available in
TechCONNECT, verify all related systems are functioning as designed. If DTCs or
symptom conditions, other than the ones listed above are present, record the issues on the
repair order and repair as necessary before proceeding further with this bulletin.
If a customer’s VIN is listed in VIP or your RRT VIN list, perform the repair. For all other
customers that describe the symptom/condition listed above or if the technician finds the
DTC, perform the Repair Procedure.
REPAIR PROCEDURE:
NOTE: The Transmission Control Module (TCM), Powertrain Control Module (PCM)
and the Body Control Module (BCM) must all be updated to the latest
available software at the conclusion of this repair procedure.
NOTE: Install a battery charger to ensure battery voltage does not drop below 13.2
volts. Do not allow the charging voltage to climb above 13.5 volts during the
flash process.
NOTE: If this flash process is interrupted/aborted, the flash should be restarted.
1. **Is the RRT being performed on this vehicle?
a. YES>>> Proceed to Step #2.
b. NO>>> Proceed to the specified modules as needed.**
2. Inspect all modules for latest available software. Are all the modules up to date?
a. YES >>> This bulletin has been completed, use LOP (18-19-17-9H) to close the
active RRT.
b. NO >>> Proceed to Step #3.
3. Reprogram the PCM with the latest available software. Detailed instructions for
flashing control modules using the wiTECH Diagnostic Application are available by
selecting the application’s “HELP” tab.
4. Reprogram the TCM with the latest available software.
5. Reprogram the BCM with the latest available software.
6. Using wiTECH, restore configuration and align proxi. This routine is available under
the “Diagnostic Procedures” tab found on the home, “Vehicle View”, page of wiTECH.
7. Clear all DTCs that may have been set in any module due to reprogramming. The
wiTECH application will automatically present all DTCs after the flash and allow them
to be cleared.
8. Verify all three modules are programmed with the latest available software (RRT only)

procedure is approximately 6 minutes. Actual flash download times may be
affected by vehicle connection and network capabilities.
FAILURE CODE:
The dealer must choose which failure code to use. If the customer came in with an
issue and the dealer found updated software to correct that issue, use failure code
CC, for all other use failure code RF.
•
•

If the customer’s concern matches the SYMPTOM/CONDITION identified in the
Service Bulletin, failure code CC is to be used.
If an available flash is completed while addressing a different customer concern,
failure code RF is to be used.
