Chevrolet Cobalt Service & Repair Manual: Body Control System Diagnosis & Testing
The body control module (BCM)
has a bussed electrical center integrated into the housing. Body control
relays and fuses are installed directly on the BCM, which simplifies wiring
and junction blocks on the vehicle. The body control system consists of
the BCM and its associated controls. Battery positive voltage is provided
to the BCM from IBCM BATT 1 fuse and the IBCM BATT 2 fuse in the underhood
fuse block. The module grounds are wired to ground G201, G203 and G305.
The BCM is wired to the GMLAN High speed serial data buss, and the GMLAN
Low speed serial data buss, as well as discrete input and output terminals
to control the functions of the vehicle's body. |
A new body control module (BCM)
must be programmed with the proper regular production option (RPO) configurations.
The BCM stores the information regarding the vehicle options and if the
BCM is not properly configured with the correct RPO codes the BCM will not
control all of the features properly. The Tech 2 software will automatically
prompt you with the various RPOs available for the vehicle. Ensure that
the following conditions exist in order to prepare for BCM programming:
This entire procedure has been reviewed before starting, the battery is
fully charged, a CANdi module is installed between the vehicle and the scan
tool, the ignition switch is in the ON position, the data link connector
(DLC) is accessible and all disconnected modules and devices are reconnected
before programming. |
To setup a new replacement BCM
select Vehicle Control Systems, then select the applicable options, then
select Module Setup, then select Body Control Module, then select BCM Setup
on the scan tool. After the setup procedure it is necessary to perform the
Remote Start setup procedure, if equipped, and brake pedal position (BPP)
Sensor Calibration procedure. If the BCM fails to accept the program, perform
the following steps: Inspect all BCM connections and verify that the scan
tool has the latest software version. |
