White93z34 Posted August 15, 2011 Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 I know the dealer can do it. a few things you might be able to try. with HPT (and perhaps someone well versed in it can clarify) check the VIN programmed into it. make sure the caps orientation is proper too. What I think you have is a VIN mismatch between the BCM and the PCM which pisses off the airbag system for some reason. I could probably bring over my Powertuner setup this weekend and see what it sees as well. What also might work is putting the original BCM back in since the airbag light does go out with that, but I think passkey gets irritated. you might be able to just disable that and run it that way. I don't know how to learn a key to those cars unfortunately. short answer is it is likely a vin number mismatch and if you could get a dealer tech with a TECHII to check it out it would probably be about a 10 minute ordeal to fix that, but then you are into an hour of dealer labour.

AL Posted August 19, 2011 Report Share Posted August 19, 2011 Whats up Bill? I think D-I-Nunzio is on the right track with the VIN numbers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
