Problem overview

Some Chevrolet Equinox owners report experiencing no-start conditions possibly related to power control module (BCM) failures. These issues can manifest through dashboard warning lights, erratic behavior, or starting difficulties. When the BCM is identified as the source of the problem, it may require reprogramming by a dealership to resolve the no-start issue. Additionally, some owners find that a failing alternator, a bad starter, or the need to reset the BCM after a battery replacement can also contribute to the no-start situation. Accurate diagnosis is crucial, as recognizing key signs and symptoms is essential to determine the root cause of the starting problem. Therefore, if you suspect a BCM failure is affecting your Chevrolet Equinox, it is recommended to seek professional diagnosis and service to effectively address the issue.
