Installation and Post-Install Steps
On the 2006-2011 Cadillac DTS, the BCM is typically located behind the right-hand side of the center dash. After installation, some vehicles may require additional steps. If your airbag light is illuminated, a professional scan tool is needed to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure. Additionally, a ‘Brake Pedal Position Relearn’ may be necessary to ensure proper brake light and traction control operation. Always consult a factory service manual for your specific vehicle for detailed instructions.
