Installation & Post-Install Notes
Installation is straightforward. On the Express Van, the BCM is typically located in the center dash area. Simply disconnect the battery, remove the old module, plug in the new one, and reconnect the battery. No core charge means you don’t have to worry about sending the old part back.
Post-Installation Checks: In some cases, particularly if the airbag light was on, a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure may be needed using a professional scan tool to sync the new BCM with the airbag system. A brake pedal position sensor relearn might also be required on certain models. Always consult a service manual for your specific vehicle if you are unsure.
