Post-Installation Procedures
After installation, some vehicles may require additional relearn procedures. These are typically simple and can sometimes be completed with a high-end diagnostic tool. Please be aware of the following possibilities:
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is illuminated after installing the BCM, a procedure called ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ is necessary to sync the new module with the airbag system.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: To ensure correct brake light and traction control operation, a brake pedal position sensor recalibration may be required on certain models.
Disclaimer: Specific procedures can vary by vehicle. Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician for guidance.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to program this BCM?
No. We pre-program the module to your vehicle’s VIN before shipping. It arrives ready for installation, saving you a trip to the dealership.
How do I provide my VIN?
After you complete your purchase, you will need to send us your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). We will then program the BCM and ship it to you.
Where is the BCM located on my vehicle?
On most compatible Silverado and Sierra pickups, the BCM is located under the steering column. On Express and Savana vans, it is typically found in the center of the dash.
What if my airbag light is on after installation?
This is a normal possibility. The new BCM needs to be synced with the airbag’s Supplemental Deployment Module (SDM). This requires a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure using a professional-grade scan tool.
Is there a core charge for my old part?
No, there is no core charge for this part. You can keep your original module.
