I linked the BCM to the ECU with no problems but had headaches linking the PIM.
Stupid me kept pressing the wrong "enter" key on the tech2 even though the * was selected next to "Learn PIM"
I actually do appreciate that info!.. it means that you managed to sort it out using 3 different components into the one car.
From what I can see in the docos.. and tech2 instructions. Is before the ECU or PIM are removed, they need to be "reset" to clear the link between the modules for that device. This can be done under the devices programming heading in the tech2 (eg PIM->programming->reset PIM)
It also mentions you must know the bcm security code.. Im assuming this would be the code from the bcm in the car. Im still not 100% if the tech2 will ask the bcm for that info.. or if the PIM and ECU actually store the security number.
The docos say also.. that if an incorrect bcm security number is entered when trying to reset the PIM, it will lock out for 10s,30s,1min,10min,20min,40min,80min
