Does the BCM need programming when replaced

I tested the wires from the BCM/SAM by adding a power and ground going to the RF window, window works, thus removing the possibility of a broken wire. The BCM/SAM scan data shows when I open and close the window from the master or passenger switch. Either way the window doesn't move. I did test the fuses but not the ground just yet. I don't suspect a problem since everything else works including the LF window. I will test the grounds soon. 

My question is does the BCM need to be programmed if replaced?

Thanks Fred
