  4. 4Check for blown fuses in the fuse box related to the BCM and associated systems.
  5. 5Test the BCM with a multimeter to ensure it is receiving proper power and ground signals.
  6. 6Review wiring harnesses for any signs of wear, shorts, or open circuits.

Solution

Solution

1. Preparation

  • Gather necessary tools and parts.
  • Disconnect the negative battery cable to ensure safety.
  • Allow the vehicle to cool down if previously running.

2. Inspect and Clean Connections

  • Remove the BCM from its mounting location.
  • Disconnect the wiring harness from the BCM.
  • Clean the terminals and connectors with electrical contact cleaner.
  • Reconnect the wiring harness securely.

3. Replace Fuses if Necessary

  • Locate the fuse panel and inspect fuses connected to the BCM.
  • If any fuses are blown, replace them with the correct amperage fuse as specified in the owner's manual.

4. Test BCM Power and Ground

  • Using a multimeter, check for proper voltage at the BCM power input terminal (should have battery voltage).
  • Check ground connections to ensure they are clean and secure.

5. Reinstall BCM

  • Once all connections are confirmed to be good, reinstall the BCM in its original position.
  • Reconnect the negative battery cable.

6. Clear Codes and Test

  • Use the OBD-II scanner to clear the B1234 code.
  • Start the vehicle and check for any reoccurring codes.
  • Test all functions associated with the BCM (interior lights, windows, locks) to ensure proper operation.
