BCM Programming

2008 Chevrolet Cobalt LS, 2D Coupe, StandardSECTION BCM Programming
IMPORTANT: Use extreme care when verifying both the VIN and Odometer reading that is set in the service BCM. Once the VIN and Odometer are set in the replacement BCM it is impossible to change them, and if there is a mismatch, the part will be rendered useless.

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. Refer to the Importants below for further information.

If the BCM fails to accept the program, perform the following steps:

  • Inspect all BCM connections.
  • Verify that the scan tool has the latest software version.
