Cobalt BCM Coding 

How much cost to reprogram a bcm ?

Some of the functions the Maxisys tools can do, however the programming of the BCM it can not. Here is the complete procedure: Each of the following courses of action requires a setup or programming procedure before the body control module (BCM) can be put into normal service. Body Control Module (BCM) Replacement If the BCM is replaced, the following procedures must be performed in the subsequent order: - BCM Reprogramming-Refer to Body Control Module (BCM) Programming/RPO Configuration in Computer/Integrating Systems for replacement, setup, and programming. - Brake Pedal Position Sensor Calibration-Refer to Brake Pedal Position Sensor Calibration in Lighting Systems. - Theft Learn-Refer to Programming Theft Deterrent System Components in Theft Deterrent. Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM) Replacement If the sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) is replaced, the following procedure must be performed: Setup SDM Part Number in BCM. Refer to Body Control Module (BCM) Programming/RPO Configuration in Computer/Integrating Systems for the proper procedure. Brake Apply Sensor (BAS) Replacement If the brake apply sensor (BAS) is replaced, the following procedures must be performed: - BCM Reprogramming-Refer to Body Control Module (BCM) Programming/RPO Configuration in Computer/Integrating Systems for replacement, setup, and programming. - Brake Pedal Position Sensor Calibration-Refer to Brake Pedal Position Sensor Calibration in Lighting Systems. - Theft Learn-Refer to Programming Theft Deterrent System Components in Theft Deterrent. Body Control Module (BCM) Reprogramming If the BCM is reprogrammed, the following procedures must be performed: - BCM Reprogramming-Refer to Body Control Module (BCM) Programming/RPO Configuration in Computer/Integrating Systems for replacement, setup, and programming. - Brake Pedal Position Sensor Calibration-Refer to Brake Pedal Position Sensor Calibration in Lighting Systems. - Theft Learn-Refer to Programming Theft Deterrent System Components in Theft Deterrent. Theft Deterrent Programming If the BCM or the powertrain control module (PCM) is replaced the programming for the replaced module must be performed before the programming of the theft deterrent system. Refer to the following: - BCM Reprogramming-Refer to Body Control Module (BCM) Programming/RPO Configuration in Computer/Integrating Systems for replacement, setup, and programming. - PCM Reprogramming-Refer to Service Programming System (SPS).

That's a tricky question. On this specific application I would say yes because the DS808 has the ability to set up the SDM for the Body control module. However the DS808 is does not contain the high end coding and initialization that the MaxiSys MS906BT and up have. Function charts can be found on the Autel.com site pro.auteltech.com/measurecarAPP-1-1.html?m=94&operatorType=5&pageNo=0

There are a lot of other things I would recommend checking before replacing the BCM. Start by using alldatadiy.com and purchasing the wiring diagrams. Each light has its own fuse, start there. Then bypass the relay and see if the light comes on. Then I would use a scan tool to command the BCM to turn on the lights and see if you get a ground signal.

You need 906BT OR TS

I used an MS906TS, The MS906BT is the same tool minus TPMS and would be less expensive

I used an MS906TS from Autel in this video

Nope, I have no idea how to do that. Check out Diagnosis Dan, ru-vid.com/show-UCR73yN7vT7-P541g2qlfRrg. He does alot more BMW than I do

ChopperDo c181

ChopperDoc181 you can get the vx-diag it has the tech 2 software

The MK808 is a service tool that can read and clear codes in all modules. You will need a higher level scan tool to do those functions.

I get updates almost every week. If you follow the Autel Facebook page @auteldiagnostics they post the updates as they come out.

Thank you sir, good info

Hi I like the video it is helpful , and I need you to show me ford F150 2019 model How to replace and programme it please help if you wanted?

Maybe, depends on what you mean. If you are trying to diagnosis the cruse control you can do different activation to see if it is working properly and to diagnosis the issue. If you are asking, can I add cruise control to one that didn't come from the factory that way, then no. Cruse control is all about inputs. You need to make sure you have all the inputs required.

I am not sure, but I doubt it. Manufacturers consider that a safety feature and they most likely don't have a provision to disable that.

No, This tool will not do what you are wanting to accomplish. You will need to use HP Tuners or something similar.

That year range is a mess. I would check the coverage list on Autel.com first. I am not able to say for sure.

How does that system work, Does the PCM control the field on the Alternator? I have seen where the PCM driver will go out and cause the vehicle not to charge. Check the wiring diagram for the circuit and see if there is a field wire from the PCM

Most electric vehicle manufacturers are still using a 16 Pin OBD2 port. This will give you access to the vehicle systems, from there you can operate the Automatic brake bleed and follow the OR procedure. TOPDON ArtiDiag Pro, any TOPDON Phoenix, Or any Autel MaxiSys can do these operations.

If you find a used BCM with the same part number, yes. If it is a new BCM you may need to program it with J2534

Flash Performance yes find same parts number bcm but dont have start can not start my car opel movano how can i do best ?

You would need the dealer tool for that one. Kia used to work with J2534, not sure if that is still the case.

What your asking for is not an easy process. You will need to go to Ford directly and let them know the components that you have changed and what function you want to add to your Escape. They will have to change the As Built Data at the engineering level for your specific vehicle VIN. Once that has been done you will have to use a J2534 box and ford specific software with a windows PC. Then you will program the new information into the BCM. www.nastf.org/i4a/pages/index.cfm?pageid=3646

The MS906BT is a great tool. It is the same tool I am using in this video minus the TPMS functions.

You are talking about the RPO codes, usally they are in the glove box on a sticker

No, the Autel tools can not remove the security features from a vehicle. You might just need to do the key relearn procedure. Those vehicles don't require any special tools to relearn the keys after the BCM has been coded or programmed.

By local, I've heard of people getting burned by Amazon sellers

I think only a Kia OE tool can program the BCM

@@FlashPerformance KIA claimed only their OBD could program a BCM. As it turns out, by just completely draining the charge from the system, then resetting everything, the system automatically programmed the BCM... worked perfectly! 🙂

Check all your fuses and relays, and maybe grounds, not sure where they would be for that

No, The MS906BT has no programming functions. You would need a J2534 device to program that

@@FlashPerformance ..ok but the j2534 if I can use it with the maxisys ms 906bt ..?

@@gamerfoxz3304 No, J2534 requires a windows PC, www.nastf.org/i4a/pages/index.cfm?pageid=3660

Fantasmaz Fantasmaz.z you will also need that J2534 device and a laptop plus a battery maintainer which is expensive or you’ll mess up the pcm

I had issues when I replaced mine to. It turns out their are multiple versions of the same body control module. You will need to find one with the same Part Number and calibration. Once you get the right PN and Calibration you will most likely need to program the BCM with a Tech 2 or J2534 box. From OE information: 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 navigate to Computer/Integrating Systems, once in the Computer/Integrating Systems menu select Module Replacement/Setup and follow the instructions on the scan tool. After the setup procedure it is necessary to perform the Remote Start setup procedure 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.

the used one that i got had the same part numbers but the those light keep lighting up so i ended up geting a new one from the dealer then i use the autel to program it everything went back to normal. all the light when out and the original miles came back.

HELLO BAKALI I HAVE TOW AUTEL SCANNERS I GOT THE MAXIS 908 THAT COMES WITH THE J2534 TOOL AND I ALSO HAVE THE NEW AUTEL MS906TS THE ONE THAT HAS THE BUILD TMP . THE ONE THAT I USED WAS THE MS906TS TO DO THE BCM AND YES THE AUTEL HAVE MORE BIRECTIONAL STUP I BEEN ABLE TO REPROGRAM BY HONDA KEYS AND NISSAN TOO. THE ONLY THING ON NISSAN YOU NEED TO CODE CONVERTER FROM 4 DIGIT TO 5 DIGIT YOU CAN ONE ON AMAZON OR EBAY THEY WORK GREAT

The MS906BT would be the least expensive unit to have these same features

WillingCoyote the launch Diagun x431 it mini is good..it’s about $800

I am using an MS906BT, check with AESwave.com if you are looking to purchase

Looks like it is above the steering column, find the OBD2 connector and look way up inside the dash from the floor.

Got it !!! Thanks man !!!! Appreciate it very much

@@FlashPerformance Hey, I’m just asking because I’m desperate. I replaced BCM, ECM and still get this “unknown driver “. I have watched hours on RU-vid about this and just cannot seem to find a solution. Just asking if you have any knowledge or if you come across anyone that has dealt with this . When you put driver one or driver 2 it would usually show up now I get unknown driver and like I said Half the electronics don’t work. Thank you !

Idris Bakali No, this was done from the tablet with the standard VCI. no J2534 or internet connection.

I am thinking to purchase the Autel since it can do so many things besides the Snap on Versus that seems to be limited. Does the Autel have a lot of bi directional functions?

Yes, the bidirectional controls of the Maxsys tools is very extensive. I have had many Autel owners tell me they could do more tests and special functions with their MaxiSys then with their Snap On tool.

Coding is the handshake between the two modules. It lets them talk to each other. If you don't they will not be able to exchange commands.

Yes, there is not difference in the software from the MS906TS to the MS908. All the screen and functions will be the same.

Flash Performance tank so much , I follow you, I like your videos in special when you show new tools and Autel functions. Thank you so much

@@FlashPerformance what about a ds708 autel?

@@vincentzuhowsky3076 The DS708 has been discontinued for almost 5 years now.

@@FlashPerformance I know but I have one I was asking you if I'm able to do this procedure with the ds708. Sorry if I wasn't clear

Check with your local tool vendor or AESwave.com, AEtools.us, AgileTruckTools.com

@@FlashPerformance thank you so much 😊

If you want to program the second hand BCM and find out that the software is protected or have password what is the option?

I use a program called MobiZen

Flash Performance thanks

Powers, grounds, CAN connection, Circuit testing, replace

The Mileage for the vehicle didn't change after this installation. The Milage is not stored in the BCM on this model it is stored in the instrument cluster. This vehicle is not a Global A vehicle so it didn't require the VIN to be written to the module. And you are correct I didn't program the module. I coded it to the PCM and radio

@@FlashPerformance that's interesting. My 07 cobalt definitely stores the mileage in the BCM. When I swapped with a used BCM my 130k mi car suddenly had 259k mi on it. I ended up buying a factory BCM. I will program the mileage and vin plus setup the SDM p/n and BPP. I am installing a new one because I am converting my base model to power windows, door locks, and keyless entry. The original BCM lacks the relays required for lock and unlocking through the BCM. I bought the junkyard BCM to harvest the relays to solder in the original BCM but the original still lacks the logic to control a RAP relay. I enjoy tinkering and making things work like original so it's just a fun project I got myself into. I know I could tap into ignition voltages elsewhere but I'm hopeful I might get remote start out of a new BCM. I'm just not sure if I can program remote start through SPS programming or if it can only be done if the VIN is coded for it. I know GM definitely wouldn't create a special VCI program for a vehicle that doesn't come standard with the proper options so we'll see!

Fred Head he programmed the BCM to the ECU other way around he prob replaced the radio and needed the ECU to read it. He never said he flashed the cars main brain ECU

He didn't even relearn the sdm part number, the screen said the numbers already matched and did not need to be done. That was a waste of 3 mins

People that don't know and want to learn can be misleaded by this BS real quick.

You need a key programming tool to relearn the Immobilizer, The MK808 is not designed for that. There are a few tools you can check out but I don't know their coverage on the Fiat Products. Check out Auto IM100, Autek, Smart Pro, ZedFull, AutoPro Pad
