Installation and Post-Install Considerations
Installation is straightforward for the average DIYer. The BCM is typically located under the driver’s side dashboard, near the steering column. After the physical swap, most vehicles will operate perfectly. However, in some cases, a secondary procedure may be needed:
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag light remains on after installation, a technician with a professional scan tool will need to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure. This syncs the new BCM with the airbag system.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: Some models may require a brake pedal position sensor recalibration to ensure proper brake light and traction control operation.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does ‘VIN Programmed’ mean for my 2003-2006 Tahoe Body Control Module?
It means we load your vehicle’s unique Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and all its specific options into the BCM before shipping. This makes the module plug-and-play, saving you a trip to the dealer for programming.
Do I need to send my old BCM back?
No. There is no core charge for this part. You can keep your old module, which saves you the time and hassle of a return shipment.
Where is the BCM located on my 2005 Chevy Tahoe?
On most 2003-2006 GM trucks and SUVs like the Tahoe, Yukon, and Silverado, the BCM is located under the driver’s side of the dashboard, typically to the left of the steering column.
Will this BCM fix my airbag light?
If the airbag light is caused by a faulty BCM (often indicated by code B1001), this replacement will resolve the root cause. However, you may need a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key’ procedure with a scan tool to sync the modules and turn off the light after installation.
Is installation difficult? Can I do it myself?
The physical installation is simple and usually takes less than 15 minutes with basic tools. It involves removing a few dash panels and swapping electrical connectors. Most DIY mechanics can perform the installation successfully.
