Post-Installation Information
While this module is delivered fully programmed, some GM vehicles may require a simple relearn procedure after installation for specific systems. This is normal and can often be performed by a local mechanic. Potential procedures include:
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is on after installation, a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure may be needed to sync the systems.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: A recalibration of the brake pedal position sensor might be necessary to ensure proper brake light and traction control operation.
Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician for guidance specific to your vehicle.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Body Control Module (BCM) do?
The BCM is a computer that manages and controls many of your vehicle’s non-engine related functions, such as power windows, locks, lights, wipers, security system, and instrument cluster gauges.
Is this BCM ready to install when I receive it?
Yes! This module is fully programmed to the VIN you provide, making it a plug-and-play installation. This eliminates the need for a trip to the dealership for expensive programming.

On the 2006-2007 Monte Carlo, the BCM is typically located on the left-hand side of the steering column, under the dash.
What happens if I forget to provide my VIN?
We cannot ship your part without a VIN, as the programming is essential for it to function in your vehicle. We will contact you to request the VIN, but this will delay your order. Please provide it at checkout or via message immediately after purchase.
Do I need any special tools for installation?
Basic hand tools are usually sufficient for swapping the module. However, in some cases, a post-installation relearn procedure for the airbag or brake systems may be required, which needs a professional-grade diagnostic tool.
