only by a scan tool
NOTE FROM ANOTHER USER: STOP THIS. If you do not know the entire answer to a question do not answer it. First the PCM is the Powertrain Control Module and the BCM is the Body Control Module. I wish I knew more about what you were trying to do. If you are trying to clear codes, you can use a scanner, also, if you disconnect the battery for an extended period of time it will reset, however, you are going to flash and engine code for the next 50 cycles. (It is only to tell you that are battery has been recently disconnected). If you are trying to reset the BCM to program a keyless entry remote, remove the fuse from the panel and switch from ACC to off to ACC to set it into program mode. The exception to this rule is the 1999 Grand am. You will need a scanner. I you.

I had the same problem with an 01 Impala. Unfortunaltely the fix isn't cheap. For mine, it was the ignition switch combined with the BCM (Body Control Module). About a grand at the mechanic will fix it. However having said that, I made the repair, and the problem has started again only 6 months later. A quick diagnostic at the mechanic will specify what the problem is.
I know of two ways to reset your body control module. 1. Disconnect your battery positive cable and let it set for at least an hour. Then reconnect the cable and turn the key on (do not start the vehicle) and let the computer relearn the settings. Give it 20 seconds then start your car. This has worked for me in the past. 2. Take it to a dealer and let them reprogram the module. This will cost around $100.00 depending on the dealer. New BCM's cost around $600.00 and then you have to pay a dealer to program the new one to your vehicle. Good luck.
same issue here as well... No answer yet, but i believe problem is in bcm... will update asap. And the bulbs check okay?

what does a bcm in a 2000 cavalier control
The body control module (BCM) on a 2001 Pontiac Grand Am is typically located inside the vehicle, under the dashboard on the driver's side. It is often found near the fuse box or mounted on the bracket behind the instrument panel. To access it, you may need to remove some trim panels or the lower dash cover. Always ensure the vehicle is turned off and the battery is disconnected before attempting to access the BCM.
To remove the battery on a 2001 Pontiac Grand am 1) move sure you use a memory saver device 2) disconnect the + and - cables on the battery and 3)right underneath the - cable is a screw you need to remove, it holds the battry in place. Do the reverse to install. If you don't save the memory from the BCM/PCM your car will do all kinds of weird stuff on its own. I am experiencing this problem now

It does not have one, its built in the bcm, so must replace the bcm...typical dodge..would rather own a horse..Chrysler is famous for electrical problems in there car makes.
