Common Symptoms of a Failing BCM
- ✔ Erratic or non-functional interior and exterior lights
- ✔ Power windows, door locks, or mirrors not working correctly

- ✔ Horn honking randomly or not working at all

Installation and Post-Install Procedures
Installation is straightforward for those with moderate mechanical skill. The BCM is typically located under the steering column or in the center dash area. Once installed, some vehicles may require additional simple procedures to sync the new module with other systems. Please be aware of the following:
- Airbag System Sync: If your airbag warning light is on after installation, a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure is needed. This requires a professional-grade diagnostic tool to sync the airbag system with the new BCM.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: On some models, a brake pedal position sensor recalibration may be necessary to ensure proper brake light and traction control operation.
Disclaimer: Specific procedures can vary by vehicle. Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician for guidance.
