Post-Installation Information
While our VIN programming handles the majority of the setup, some vehicles may require a simple relearn procedure after installation. If your airbag light remains illuminated, a technician with a capable scan tool will need to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure to sync the new module with the airbag system. In some cases, a ‘Brake Pedal Position Relearn’ may also be necessary. These are standard procedures when replacing a BCM and are fully detailed in factory service manuals.
