Important Post-Installation Steps
While this BCM is designed for a simple installation, some vehicles may require additional steps to ensure all systems communicate correctly. Please be aware of the following potential procedures:
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is illuminated after installation, a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure is necessary. This requires a professional-grade diagnostic tool to sync the new BCM with the airbag system.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: On some models, a brake pedal position sensor recalibration may be needed to ensure correct brake light operation and traction control functionality.
Disclaimer: Specific procedures can vary. Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified automotive technician for guidance.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a BCM and what does it do?
The Body Control Module (BCM) is a computer in your vehicle that controls and monitors a wide range of electronic body functions not related to the engine, such as power windows, locks, lights, security systems, and climate controls.
Is this BCM difficult to install?
The physical installation is generally straightforward for someone with basic mechanical skills. It’s typically located under the driver’s side dashboard. The main benefit of our product is that the difficult software programming is already done for you.
Do I need to send my old BCM back?
No, there is no core charge for this part. You can keep your original module.
How do I provide my VIN for programming?
You can enter your 17-digit VIN in the designated field during the checkout process or send it to us in a message after your purchase. We cannot ship the part until we have your VIN.
What if my airbag light is on after I install the new BCM?
This can happen. It means the new BCM needs to be electronically introduced to your vehicle’s airbag system. A qualified technician with a professional scan tool will need to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure to resolve this.
Will this part fit a 2WD model if my vehicle is not 4×4?
Yes, this BCM fits both 2WD and 4×4 models as long as the part number ID 9392994 matches your original unit. The fitment notes often specify an option like 4×4 to identify a specific vehicle build, but the part itself is compatible across drivetrains.
