    Default BCM replacement issues?

    Hi,

    I'm looking to replace my BCM to hopefully fix some weird issues i'm having with my dash lights and the dimmer.

    Question is what needs doing to pair a new BCM and can it be done with any of the EFILive tools?

    Cheers

    Not sure but I know EFILive cannot touch anything BCM related, sounds like its a dealer or a shop with a Tech II's job.

    unfortunately BCM programming must be done at a GM dealership. They use Service Programing, a software from GM, with the Tech-2 as the communicator. There might be some independent shops here or there that may have (illegal) access to SPS but I am sure it would be almost impossible to find.

    The tunetool can do a BCM->PCM VATS relink, but I have only done this on a 4th Gen F-car.

    GM SPS and Service Information software can be purchased online @ https://www.acdelcotds.com/acdelco/action/subscribehome
    It is an access that is sold by days or a year at a time. For programming, a GM tool is required. Independent shops would subscribe to this.

    Cheers for the reponses. Done some research and it appears you can recode without a Tech 2 by a manual process. Document attached is useful info. Not tried it yet though to see if it works....bcm.pdf
