Hey

Just completed a swap in a 00' Alero 2.4L, switching out engine, trans, PCM, and PCM to parts from a 02' Grand Am 2.2L....

Having some problems...

Airbag light is on....
Code is B1001 Option Configuration Error...

Code is due to the fact that the VIN in the PCM and BCM does not match the code on the SDM and maybe also other controllers in the car.

So, I need to rename the VIN on the PCM and BCM, but leave the internal electrical programs intact, due to the powertrain being different. VINs should match the vehicle itself, if possible....

Anyone have any ideas to make this work...?? Or who may do this in Michigan? It can't be done with a Tech 2, at least the PCM can't, from what I have been told.
