Body Control Module Programming/Regular Production Option Configuration

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Pontiac Sunfire, 2002 Chevrolet Cavalier, 2001 Pontiac Sunfire, and 2001 Chevrolet Cavalier. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

NOTE: Body Control Module (BCM) must be programmed with proper Regular Production Option (RPO) configurations. If BCM is not properly programmed with correct RPO codes, BCM will not be able to control features properly. Before programming BCM ensure battery is fully charged, ignition switch is in RUN position and Data Link Connector (DLC) is accessible.

Connect scan tool to Data Link Connector (DLC). DLC is located on lower left side of instrument panel, near steering column. Using scan tool, select SPECIAL FUNCTIONS, then NEW BCM SETUP. Follow instructions on scan tool to program BCM.
If BCM fails to accept programming or RPO codes, check connections at BCM and ensure scan tool has latest software updates. If problem is found, repair or correct problem and repeat programming procedure. If BCM, Powertrain Control Module (PCM) or Passlock(tm) learn procedures must be performed, go to PASSLOCK(tm) LEARN PROCEDURE .
