greetings,

I recently purchased an 03 vue 3.0 AWD about four months ago...it has about 50k on the odo. About a week ago the abs, brake, service and service engine soon lights started comming on at random times, also the tach and spedo would drop to zero for a second or two as well. from reading some of the other threads this looks like it may be a BCM problem?? I am a technician for another brand,so i did the usual, checked power and grounds and the connectors to the BCM, all seems ok. I also checked to make sure the alt was providing correct amp(i have been told it could cause the problem as well)If there is any more information that a Saturn tech or guru could provide, I would be greatful. Also, it appears that just a bit over a year ago the BCM was replaced, does GM have a parts warranty??? Thanks in advance.

Sounds like that BCM is on its way out as well :cry:

I am finially getting caught up with some of my projects and I will soon try to reprogram a Vue BCM with my tech 2 and recently procured TIS 2000 software/cable. I am curious as to what percentage of these faulty BCMs can be repaired with a reflash.

Any of you Saturn techs on the forum have much luck with BCM reflashes in the shop?
