if I buy a used one, and I want to flash my stuff on there can I do that to a used one?Mooseman said:You should be able to find a BCM cheap if you have a pick-a-part yard nearby. Even a regular yard shouldn't be that expensive.
got it. Just to make sure, it isMooseman said:Yes but try it first. before spending money getting it flashed. When you put it in, you'll have to do a security relearn.
i better asks to make sure. But I can use a bcm from any year TB, Envoy, Bravada, Ascendar right? Or no?Mooseman said:
1. Attempt to start the truck by turning the key to the Start/Run position. Try to crank the vehicle.
2. Observe that the vehicle fails to start and the security light is illuminated.
3. Release key to the ON/RUN position (not the ACC position or OFF)
4. Allow the vehicle to sit with key in the ON/RUN position for no less than 11 minutes. Security light will turn off after this.
5. When the light goes off, turn key to OFF position and allow the vehicle to remain in the OFF position for no less than 30 seconds.
6. Repeat #1-#5 for four cycles or until vehicle starts.
I didn't have to do the security relearn on my TB when I tried two different BCM (one from Swedish junk car and the one I got from Canada), I get the truck to start but the security light is illuminated on the dash.Yes but try it first. before spending money getting it flashed.

I would stick to 2002-2004 TB or Envoy to be surei better asks to make sure. But I can use a bcm from any year TB, Envoy, Bravada, Ascendar right? Or no?
Does the color or numbers on the sticker matter? Here is mine.swede said:I didn't have to do the security relearn on my TB when I tried two different BCM (one from Swedish junk car and the one I got from Canada), I get the truck to start but the security light is illuminated on the dash.
The truck starts but to get the light to turn off I need to do the relearn.

You have 2 different p/n on your BCM. One on the BCM (sticker outside) and a p/n on the software inside. All the BCM I been playing with on my TB did had the same outside p/n. The inside software p/n i been changing like crazy from all kind of different TB and envoys. Never effected my truck and always started even without doing the security relearn (the security light been on in the dash) but the truck started.dpacheco59 said:Okay, today the tech at my new job told me that in order for the flash to work, you have to get the same part number on the new bcm, is this true? or will the flash work even if not. he said flashing is pretty much just restarting the computer..?
Honestly I can't tell you if it works on a BCM with different hardware p/n. I know when I flash my modules it looks for the hardware p/n and if it's not the correct hardware p/n for the software p/n I can't flash it.dpacheco59 said:Yeah the 3 bcm I have are all different numbers outside
You have the same p/n on your BCM like I do on mine. I don't know what the color means, I just went on the p/n when it came to my truck.dpacheco59 said:Does the color or numbers on the sticker matter? Here is mine.0412150756-1.jpg![]()
The keyless entry is in the LGM not the BCM, you have to different LGM = with or without keyless entryMooseman said:The only thing that I heard of causing issues are BCMs coming from an LS without keyless entry. Maybe Swede can fill us in on that.
Not really, when flashing you reinstall the full software program or install an updateded version of the OEM software.dpacheco59 said:Okay, today the tech at my new job told me that in order for the flash to work, you have to get the same part number on the new bcm, is this true? or will the flash work even if not. he said flashing is pretty much just restarting the computer..?
so as long as the P/N number matches, and not the numbers under the barcode, it will flash?swede said:Honestly I can't tell you if it works on a BCM with different hardware p/n.

I had that problem with my DDM trying to flash it with a software designed for a different hardware (I have electric folding mirror, other truck not so different p/n modules).
You have the same p/n on your BCM like I do on mine. I don't know what the color means, I just went on the p/n when it came to my truck.

Yes if the P/N 09352135 are the same it should flash, at least all of my 3 different ones flashed ok (same p/n but different trucks).so as long as the P/N number matches, and not the numbers under the barcode, it will flash?
