Important Post-Installation Information
While our programming handles the majority of the setup, some vehicles may require minor post-installation procedures. An Airbag System Sync may be needed if the airbag warning light illuminates after installation. This is a simple ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure that can be performed with a professional scan tool. Additionally, a Brake Pedal Position Relearn might be necessary to ensure correct brake light and traction control operation. Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician for vehicle-specific guidance.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does a Body Control Module do on a Pontiac G8?
The BCM acts as the central computer for your G8’s electronic accessories. It controls functions like power windows, locks, interior/exterior lighting, the security system, and communication between various electronic modules.
Is this BCM ready to install out of the box?
Yes! This module comes fully programmed to your vehicle’s VIN with the latest GM software. This allows for a straightforward installation without the need for dealer programming. Some minor relearn procedures may be required post-installation depending on your vehicle.
How do I provide my VIN for programming?
After you complete your purchase, you will need to send us your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). We will use this to program the BCM specifically for your car’s options and features before we ship it.
What happens if the airbag light is on after installation?
If the airbag light is on, it means the new BCM needs to be synced with the airbag system’s SDM. A technician with a professional scan tool will need to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure to resolve this.
Do I need to send my old BCM back?
No, there is no core charge for this part. You can keep your original module.
Will this fix my specific electrical problem?
This part corrects issues directly caused by a failing BCM. If you are experiencing symptoms like erratic lights, power accessory failure, or security system faults, a faulty BCM is the most likely cause. Proper diagnosis is always recommended.
