Hello all, my first post here and it is about BCM, arg...

I'm in need of Technical C6 BCM info. OR Install a BCM or Not into my current project. I would like only a few of its functions.

What I need is to Program out or delete unused BCM functions without the BCM setting Codes.

In this vuild,,,
there would be NO

Air Bags, Suspension Ride controls, ABS, Seat controls, and the list goes on and on

Functions from the BCM,,, I only need the Class II serial data so it can be wired to the C6 instrument panel, possibly install the tire pressure RF module. Passing the steering column wiring through the BCM would be very handy.

So, is it possible delete or disable functions ??


My current build is a 1937 Chevy Coupe (Superior Glass Works Carbon Fiber race car body). This started out as a simple project, somewhere I went crazy. I'm familiar with Corvette's so She is full of Corvette parts.

Now a complete rolling chassis powered with a LS3 (Nelson twin Turbo), Tremic T-56 super, Monster 3 disc, Dutchman's 9 inch IRS, Strange 3rd member, C4 late front suspension, C4 rear Spindles, I designed the frame and Art Morrison Ent. bent the frame rails and roll cage components using our CAD (Solid Works) files. We went Way Overboard on the frame and roll cage but still She now at 2200 pounds, w/o doors, fuel system,,, But mostly complete.

This body is extremely Tight on space, the equivalent of a 3.5 inch full body sectioning and 3 inch chop top with a short firewall cowl. plus I sat the body over the frame. I don't wish to Fab everything, so the Pedals are a Kugle under the dash master cylinders.

The 2008 C6 ECM harness (wiring shortened) is installed. I have an entire harness set from this 2008 that had 5500 miles so all is in excellent condition, much will be useful for lights, etc. Other C6 components include the Seats, steering column, 4 C6 Front calipers, instrument panel,,,,etc.

I selected the 2009 C6 ECM because GM performance LS3 crate engines use a 58X reluctor. I've completed several Frankenstein LS swaps and am very comfortable with the electronics.

Unfortunately the "Serial Data" for the Instrument Panel is the "Class II Serial" that as I read is developed in the BCM. If I used the BCM I'd probably install the RF module for the tire pressure sensors. A BCM would be handy for routing all of the 2008 steering Column wiring, lights, turn sigs, horn, wipers, etc.

BUT, I don't want the Check Light always on....


I've been a Corvette owner since my Honorable Discharge from the Army and now mostly retired. I grew up in a DIY family be it Daily drivers, Street Rod or Farm Equipment.

I currently own three Vettes and a '56 Chevy 210 (LS1 & T-56). I opted to build a ground up Street Rod and Not purchase a C8,, My friends thought I went crazy. I'm also a 3rd gen Engineer, a family thing one could say. I have a strong opinion that there are just to many microprocessors in my Fav Sports Car.

Thanks,

Michael...

Welcome, Michael, Nice write-up you did
I have been doing custom tunes for GM vehicles since 1995, so I have seen other custom-builds like your doing many times

To not miss what you posted, my comments are in UPPERCASE BELOW
