NOTE:
Any time the scan tool is communicating with the Regenerative Brake Control Module while in motion, the brake pedal will become stiff requiring extra effort to apply the brakes. This will remain active up to 10 kilometers per hour (6 mph). Once 10 kilometers per hour is exceeded, the pedal feel will return to normal. While the RBC is in DIAGNOSTICS MODE the ABS, ESC, RBS and BRAKE warning lamps will be illuminated.

NOTE:

If this Electronic Control Unit (ECU) is being replaced with a new unit, a diagnostic scan tool MUST be used to determine if alignment of the PROXI configuration data into the new ECU is needed. If PROXI alignment is needed, follow the routine outlined in the diagnostic scan tool for PROXI Configuration Alignment under the Body Control Module (BCM) Miscellaneous Functions menu.
