You don't, the dealer or repair shop does.
To program the Body Control Module (BCM) on a 2000 Saturn LS1, you'll typically need a compatible OBD-II scanner that supports BCM programming. Connect the scanner to the vehicle's OBD-II port, turn on the ignition without starting the engine, and follow the scanner's prompts to access the BCM settings. Ensure you have the correct calibration file if required, and complete the programming process as instructed by the scanner. Always consult the vehicle's service manual for specific procedures and precautions.
It must be programed using special equipment like a Tech II, used by dealers.
i have an 02 impala and i recently found out my bcm is bad. I found out that this is located on the left hand side of the steering column.... it should be the same in the 01 since the parts can be swapped in both cars. i hope this helps
To program a new Body Control Module (BCM), first, ensure you have the correct software and tools compatible with your vehicle. Connect the diagnostic scanner to the OBD-II port and follow the manufacturer's instructions to access the BCM programming menu. Typically, you'll need to input vehicle information, perform any necessary configuration settings, and write the new data to the BCM. Finally, verify the programming by checking for any error codes and ensuring all functions operate correctly.
The Body Control Module (BCM) in a 2008 Chevrolet Impala LT is typically located under the dashboard on the driver's side. It is situated behind the fuse box and may require removing some panels for access. The BCM is responsible for controlling various electronic functions in the vehicle, such as lighting and security systems. Always consult the vehicle's service manual for specific instructions related to your model.
only by a scan tool NOTE FROM ANOTHER USER: STOP THIS. If you do not know the entire answer to a question do not answer it. First the PCM is the Powertrain Control Module and the BCM is the Body Control Module. I wish I knew more about what you were trying to do. If you are trying to clear codes, you can use a scanner, also, if you disconnect the battery for an extended period of time it will reset, however, you are going to flash and engine code for the next 50 cycles. (It is only to tell you that are battery has been recently disconnected). If you are trying to reset the BCM to program a keyless entry remote, remove the fuse from the panel and switch from ACC to off to ACC to set it into program mode. The exception to this rule is the 1999 Grand am. You will need a scanner. I you.
it's a data interface for all the systems in the car that arn't controlled by the engine control module
Dealer only
96 on up you need a scanner, you can buy 1 at the auto parts place for around 100.00 dollars. actron hand held scanner to retreive trouble codes.
The BCM (Body Control Module) of the Passlock system is malfunctioning. It will need to be replaced. I just had it done to my '03 Impala.
Because its a chevy!! Agreed. Bad ground from body control module (bcm) kills the relay switch. Around $400 at the dealer 4 years ago.
