Important Post-Installation Steps
While this module is programmed for plug-and-play installation, some vehicles may require additional relearn procedures after the new BCM is installed. These can typically be performed by a qualified technician with a professional-grade scan tool.
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is on after installation, a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure is necessary to sync the new BCM with the airbag system.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: A recalibration of the brake pedal position sensor may be required to ensure correct brake light operation and to satisfy the traction control system.
Disclaimer: Specific procedures can vary by vehicle. Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician for guidance.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the VIN programming work?
After you complete your purchase, you will need to send us your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). Our technicians use your VIN to load the correct factory software and settings for your specific vehicle into the BCM before we ship it to you.
Is this part truly plug-and-play?
For most vehicles and functions, yes. The VIN programming handles the majority of the setup. However, as noted, some models may require a simple relearn procedure for the airbag or brake systems, which requires a professional scan tool.
Do I need to return my old BCM?
No. There is no core charge for this part. You can keep your original module.
What tools are needed for installation?
Installation typically requires basic hand tools like a socket set and screwdrivers to access the module (located under the steering column on trucks or in the center dash on vans). A professional scan tool may be needed for any post-installation procedures.
Will this BCM fit my vehicle?
This BCM fits a wide range of 2003-2007 GM trucks and vans, including Silverado, Sierra, Savana, Express, and SSR models. Please check the extensive fitment list and ensure your original part number is listed to guarantee compatibility.
