BCM for my friend's new KK?

[moparman]

Just delivered KK Limited built 7/09. He is having intermittent problems with keyless entry and remote start. Also the TPMS has an error code. (I don't know the code.) The dealer ordered a BCM. Sound right? I can believe it if those functions were on the same IC chip, otherwise I am suspicious.

BCM stands for Body Control Module. That would make sense.

Yep, I know what a BCM is... It controls far more than the 3 things I mentioned. All of which work fine. I am just wondering if a reset or reflash would fix it. Or if anyone else had the same problem.

The keyless entry and remote start attaches to the BCM,they are not directly part of the BCM.They are controlled by the BCM though and the BCM needs to be programmed for those functions.

There is no BCM on a KK. You have the WCM(wireless control module) which controls sentry key, TPMS, and RKE functions. This module communicates through the CCN (instrument cluster), which in turn communicates with the TIPM (totally integrated power module/gateway module). The TIPM takes the place of a BCM, and controls most of the same things that the old BCMs did.

If he is having problems with RKE and TPMS, he probably had a WCM ordered. We have a TSB out that discusses problems that are corrected with the new updated WCM. This is fairly common.

Now that makes sense... Hopefully that resolves the problem. All those modules linked together sounds like what I work on - http://copiers.toshiba.com/usa/product/multifunction/large-workgroup/e-STUDIO1351.html

WCM was installed, all problems resolved...
