What is a Body Control Module (BCM)?
A Body Control Module (BCM) is a control unit that resides in the instrument panel of many modern cars. It contains the electrical and mechanical components necessary to send commands to the various systems in a car, including the airbag system.
If you are having trouble with your car’s airbag system, it may be helpful to reset your BCM. To do this, you will need to remove the cover on the instrument panel, located near the steering wheel. Underneath this cover is a small circuit board with several connectors on it. You will need to remove these connectors and reattach them in a different order than they were originally attached. After completing this step, your car should be able to use its airbag system again.
How do I reset my BCM?
If your BCM is not working correctly, you can reset it by following these steps:
1) Disconnect the battery cables.
2) Remove the screws that hold the cover in place.
3) Lift off the cover.
4) Find and remove the chip (or chips).
5) Replace the chip (or chips).
