Joseph, my experience on BCM/ECU error codes are pure programming. Before you pull the trigger on replacing either, reset Both. Make sure you Backup before. Sometimes when replacements are used, the used car lots just want the light off. not problem fixed. The factory service manual will be a BIG help here. The pre-programmed modules are generally done with other than factory tools Soooo...... sometimes there is an error. Your tech 2/laptop should be an easy fix.... But the caveat is sometimes the procedure doesn't complete correctly. Around the point of "turn ignition off then back on". If after a few tries of that not working, try starting the truck. Thats worked for me on several problem children lately. Hope this helps.
Thank you for your suggestion @exp500 . That is worth trying, before shelling out money that could be better utilized elsewhere. Is there some documentation somewhere that I could access to better understand the backup and reset procedures, before performing it, so that I have a better chance of getting it right the first time?
