Had to park an 01 camaro ss for about 1&1/2 years so I charged the battery. Went to start and click,click. So added my little jump box still no crank. door chimes, gauges would sweep, windows up and down but not crank. Checked the battery- dead as a nail and I had a brief amount of smoke coming from around the radio. Stopped instantly and removed the radio bezel. Came from behind the radio. So son picked up another radio and I said another bcm. I got a new battery. Car started as it should and i let it idle for awhile. I had the slp tcs module which I thought fried.Took it out and plugged wiring into the switch. Won't turn tcs on, dash says off. radio works great but still thinking bcm. What do you guys think. If it is the bcm, do I have to have it flashed/ programmed to the car? Thanks in advanced

BCM has nothing to do with TCS.
