Post-Installation Requirements
While this module is delivered ready for installation, some vehicles may require minor post-installation steps to sync with other onboard systems. These are typically straightforward procedures for any qualified technician.
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is on after installation, a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure must be performed with a professional scan tool to sync the new BCM with the airbag system.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: A brake pedal position sensor recalibration may be needed to ensure proper brake light and traction control operation.
Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician for vehicle-specific procedures.
