Isn't the BCM the chime module?

 

From what i know about the BCM, which i learned here in the last week, it does a lot more than control the chime. Everything from the lights to the abs to the trac control, cruise control.........etc........

 

The BCM is configured with the options of the vehicle it is installed in and then a theft deterrent system learn is performed. There is no reflash procedure to correct any malfunctions.

 

Ok.......i've got an appointment to have the local chevy dealership reflash the BCM, said they can download new software to it. So who's smokin what??????

 

also giv eya a hint. it is easier to unplg it then take it out LOL
and be prepared to be a contorionest to get it out and back in

 

I did pull mine down to get a better look at it. Not much to it, just a 4"x4" board in a plastic case. I wasn't really sure how those connectors came off though, but didn't spend much time trying to get it unplugged either.

 

Its been a very long time since I smoked anything!!!LOL......What I can tell ya for sure is that there is NO software reflash for a 2001 Monte Carlo BCM.

 

do the turn signals & flashers have anything to do with the bcm

 

im sure they do to a point it acts liek abrin for the car. why what are they doing?

 

sometimes they sometimes they dont when i use the turn signal sometimes it will cause all the warning lights to come on it is like someone turned off the key. also sometimes it will not turn over until you turn the key about 10 times.
