How to Wire the BCM in a 2002 Impala

The 2002 Impala was a mid-size four-door sedan manufactured by the Chevrolet division of General Motors. It is an eighth-generation Impala, which includes the 2000 to 2005 models. These models had anti-lock brakes as a standard feature, which provide better braking when the vehicle begins to lose traction. The brake control module, or BCM, is a microprocessor that reduces the braking force to a wheel that is spinning more slowly than the other wheels.

Instructions

1

Remove the cable from the negative battery terminal with a socket wrench. This ensures that an electrical discharge does not damage the BCM when you replace it.

2

Locate the BCM. It is the black box to the left of the steering column and under the instrument panel.

3

Push the pressure tabs on the BCM together to release the BCM, and detach the BCM from its bracket. Unplug the wiring harness from the BCM, and remove the BCM from the vehicle.

4

Push the connector for the wiring harness into its slot on the new BCM. The connector makes an audible click when it is securely connected to the BCM.

5

Install the BCM to its bracket on the vehicle. The pressure tabs on the BCM make an audible click when the BCM is securely fastened to its bracket.

6

Attach the cable to the negative terminal of the battery with a socket wrench.
