Simple Installation and Post-Install Notes
Installation is a straightforward process for any DIYer. The BCM is typically located under the driver’s side dashboard, near the steering column. Once installed, most functions will be immediately restored. However, please note:
- Airbag System Sync: If your airbag warning light remains on after installation, a professional scan tool is needed to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure. This syncs the new BCM with the airbag system.
- Brake Pedal Position: In some cases, a brake pedal position sensor relearn procedure may be required to ensure correct brake light operation.
