Body Control Module
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Pontiac Firebird and 2002 Chevrolet Camaro. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION:
When BCM is replaced, new BCM will automatically program to resistance of ignition key or interrogator setting that is used for first time ignition switch is turned to RUN position. This process can only be performed once BCM is replaced.
NOTE:
If replacing, BCM will be programmed by manufacturer in a factory test mode. This mode allows only limited functionality. To exit factory test mode, cycle ignition switch between RUN and OFF positions 10 times.
After a replacement BCM has been installed, use one of customer's keys to turn ignition switch to RUN position. Start engine to verify system operation. If SECURITY warning indicator comes on for about 5 seconds and then goes out, BCM is programmed properly. If SECURITY warning indicator flashes (about one flash per second) until ignition switch is turned to OFF position, BCM did not program. Check for faulty system components and wiring of theft deterrent system. See ANTI-THEFT SYSTEMS - CAMARO & FIREBIRD article.
