Looking for the antitheft module located on a 1997 Chevy lumina?

The 1997 Chevy Lumina's anti-theft system isn't controlled by a single, easily identifiable "module" like some modern cars. Instead, the theft deterrent system is integrated into the vehicle's computer system, primarily the Body Control Module (BCM). There's no separate anti-theft module to locate.

The BCM handles the functions related to the anti-theft system, such as:

* Passive anti-theft system (PATS): This system disables the starter if the correct transponder chip in the ignition key isn't recognized. The BCM is the brain of this system.

* Alarm system (if equipped): The BCM interacts with the alarm system components (sensors, siren, etc.).

To access the BCM, you'll likely need to refer to a wiring diagram specific to your 1997 Chevy Lumina. The BCM's location varies slightly depending on trim level and options, but it's usually located under the dashboard, possibly near the steering column or under the instrument panel. You'll need to be comfortable with automotive electrical systems to locate and access it safely.

Important Note: Working with the BCM or other automotive electrical components requires caution. Improper handling can damage the system or even cause injury. If you're not experienced with automotive electrical systems, it's best to take your vehicle to a qualified mechanic for any anti-theft system issues.
