How TO PROGRAM A BCM ... WITHOUT GOING TO THE DEALER

Body control module

[petercosta]

Hello, I wanted to post my experience because a lot of people are coming down on you. So, this was my experience changing my BCM on my 2011 Chevy Impala. I purchased a used BCM, part number was correct. Took my lower dash apart and unplugged the 7 couplers that jack into the BCM. Then I placed the car key in the ignition and turned it on. Then I hot swapped the BCM by plugging in the couplers. As I did the lights on the dash came on. Then after all the couplers were plugged in, I started my car and as it ran all the lights on the dash came on, such as traction control, ABS, Stability Track error and so fourth. As the car ran, the lights turned off. I kept the car running for about 12 minutes. Turned it off because one of my concerns was the anti theft system. Everything worked fine, I checked it with my Tech 2 program, anti theft system was working, my FOB to open/lock doors, pop trunk, and auto start vehicle worked. The mileage carried over from the original mileage. Drove the vehicle for 50+ miles if any learning was needed. It actually worked, I have to say I was surprised. That was my experience, thank you for coming up with the idea.

Although you didnt" program the BCM, you did change them out and the "new one" worked. Risky but Rewarding - Thanks for sharing sir

Thanks for the video, I totaled my 02 in an accident and bought another one for cheap with a bad bcm. I'm also scraping for money so this video saved me the headache of going to the dealer.

Mr. Harris Thank you for your thoughtfulness in providing a vido BCM and programming. As with many people who use this media, saving money on their car repairs to put food on the table is why I appreciate your knowledge and service so much. KEEP ON VIDEOING. Be Blessed.

I am an ASE certified mechanic. You are absolutely wrong. You didnt program a thing. You got a used BCM that was already programmed. Thats why the mileage is different. Thats the mileage of the car it came out of. NEW BCM comes from the factory WITH NO SOFTWARE AND MUST BE PROGRAMMED BY A CANBUS DUAL BAND PROGRAMMER. PLEASE STOP SPREADING BAD INFO CAUSE YOU KNOW ABSOLUTELY NOTHING ABOUT WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT. BTW CHANGING ANY ELECTRICAL COMPONENT WHILE THE BATTERY IS CONNECTED LET ALONE RUNNING... IS DANGEROUS AND CAN CAUSE MAJOR COMPONENT DAMAGE.

This is great. My only question is, is it possible to keep your mileage, it seems like having inaccurate mileage would be annoying

[globalcommunityaffairs]

Everyone has the option of taking the risk to swap out a used bcm or replace it with a new one. It's your choice. If it work great. If not go get a new one simple as that. Thanks for the info the dealers are not going to share it. And some mechanics will not either. Hmm

[belongs__the_grave]

So leave the battery plugged up, and leave the key on (engine not running), remove the old BCM, install new BCM. Then start the vehicle. This is how it will program itself? Awesome!

[larryfine]

You did not program that BCM. You simply transferred a used BCM to your vehicle. Your milage is incorrect and your vehicle security system locked up as a result. That used BCM has the restistance value learned from the vehicle it was removed from.
