How To Reset Chevy Body Control Module (Quick Guide). In this video tutorial I will show you how to reset Chevy body control module.
Here are the reasons Why Your Chevy’s BCM Needs to Be Reset;
Your Chevy’s BCM needs to be reset if it starts experiencing problems and there’s no alternative solution to electrical glitches based on the troubleshooting. Your BCM has problems if you notice that specific systems and functions are erratic. A fault could be related to any one of the various systems that the BCM is involved in. Some of the common problems you’ll notice include;
• Random flashing of lights.
• Power windows and locks issues.
• Failure to recognize remotes or keys.
• The Check Engine light turning on.
• Erratic working of the infotainment system.
• Misbehaving speedometer, fuel and temperature gauge.
Here is How to Reset It;
You should know that your Chevy’s BCM programming is set and remains intact. It is non-volatile. A reset only restores the default settings and erases any temporary settings. Therefore, it can only resolve some specific electrical problems caused by memory and faulty software settings. Issues caused by malfunctioning or damaged electrical components or wires may need repair or replacement. To reset your Chevy’s BCM;
• Turn off your car.
• Remove both battery terminals from the battery. You should first remove the negative cable and then the positive cable.
• Touch the cables’ ends together. This helps discharge the voltage or temporary charge typically stored in the BCM capacitors. This temporary charge must be discharged to reset the BCM. This will reset the BCM’s memory and erase trash data.
• If the BCM has a fuse, remove it for at least one minute and then reinstall it.
• Reconnect the battery cables. Reconnect the positive cable first and then the negative cable.
• Retest your car to see if the problem has been resolved. You may need to seek a professional diagnosis or replace your BCM if the problem persists.
Please note that resetting the BCM will clear any stored error codes. You may need to scan your system again afterward if you encounter new issues.
