Important Post-Installation Information
While this BCM is programmed for your vehicle, certain security and safety systems may require a ‘handshake’ procedure after installation. In most cases, no further action is needed. However, please be aware of the following possibilities:
- 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 scan tool and syncs the new BCM with your vehicle’s existing airbag system.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: On some models, a brake pedal position sensor relearn may be required to ensure correct brake light and traction control operation.
Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician if you are unsure about any post-installation steps.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Body Control Module do on my 2001 Yukon?
The BCM is the computer responsible for managing most of your truck’s non-engine related electronics. This includes power windows, locks, interior/exterior lighting, the security system, wipers, and instrument panel warnings.
Is this part difficult to install?
The BCM is typically located under the driver’s side of the dashboard. Installation involves disconnecting the battery, removing a few trim panels, and swapping the electrical connectors. It is a manageable job for a DIYer with basic tools.
Do I need to have this module programmed?
No. We handle all the programming for you before shipment. Simply provide your vehicle’s VIN when you order, and the module will arrive ready to install.
What if my airbag light comes on after I install it?
This is a known possibility. It means the new BCM needs to be electronically introduced to the airbag system (SDM). A repair shop with a professional diagnostic tool can perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure to resolve this.
Why do you need my VIN?
Your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) allows us to access the exact build sheet for your truck. We use this information to program the BCM to work correctly with the specific options your vehicle was built with, such as power seat types, security system, and more.
Will this fix my check engine light?
Generally, no. The BCM controls body electronics, while the Engine Control Module (ECM) or Powertrain Control Module (PCM) manages the engine and transmission. A ‘Service Vehicle Soon’ light is often related to the BCM, but a ‘Check Engine’ light points to an engine-related issue.
