At the dlc use an ohm meter accross the two high speed terminals. You should have 60 ohms. This will at least rule out the data line.

What will you be using the BCM for?
I'd be interested as well in how to do this to run AC module and cruise.
There are available Tech2 standlone adaptors to benchtop program the BCM directly.
I think they do this at dealer if BCM has to be replaced.

It seems to me that he is trying to use the corvette push button and key fob system. You need the ecm, bcm, rcdlr at least to make this work.

You are correct. what I've done is put a complete drive line and suspension in a 69 camaro. I've used The abs-ebcm-ecm,bcm,guages,power door locks and rc lock module heat and power seats I took the corvette wiring and adaped it to the camaro. Every thing works but I can't program a key fob to crank the car because i can't talk with the BCM BUT after today I think I may know what my problem is. while I was checking oams on my DLC on my gmland wires I noticed my reading would change when i wiggled the plug in the BCM I guess the pins are loose in the connector tomorrow will tell Thank's Bob

Yea those .64 terminals can spread really easily if they are unplugged and plugged in a bunch of times.

My data line has 60 ohms with power off but with power on it goes less than 10 I have a new 09 vette i also checked to compare and with ign on it between 200-350. Now my 69 leaves the BCM and goes to brake module then deads end into ECM. I can bypass brake module and go straight to ECM and same thing less than 10 ohms. Does this mean I have a ECM problem? thank's Bob

Hi Bob, have you used an AC module/e38 combo. Do you know if you would need a bcm or could just go ECM to AC module.
Thanks

You can't check resistance when the power is on because the modules are talking on it. I could be wrong here, but doesn't the corvette use the driver and passenger door modules and the rcdlr to know that the key fob is inside the car?

I'm not using the gm AC module it's a class 2 anyway . I can talk to my class 2 modules but not GMLAN. Yes it has a E-38 ECM

Try bypassing the other modules and direct wire to the ECM so you can plug in the scan tool (TechII?) to ECM only and prove the GMLAN into the ECM. Then one by one add the other modules back in.
