Installation and Post-Install Procedures
While the physical installation is straightforward for a skilled DIYer or any professional technician, some vehicles may require simple post-installation relearn procedures. These are not programming steps but rather synchronization steps to ensure all systems communicate correctly. Depending on your vehicle’s configuration, you may need a professional scan tool to perform:
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is on after installation, a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure is needed to sync the modules.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: A recalibration of the brake pedal position sensor might be necessary for proper brake light and traction control operation.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Body Control Module (BCM)?
The BCM is a computer in your vehicle responsible for managing and controlling various electronic accessories, such as power windows, locks, lights, security systems, and wipers. It acts as a central hub for these functions.
Do I need to get this BCM programmed by a dealer?
No. This module comes pre-programmed to your vehicle’s specific VIN. We handle the programming before we ship it, saving you the time, hassle, and expense of a dealership visit.
What information do you need from me?
After you place your order, you will need to provide us with your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN (Vehicle Identification Number). This allows us to load the correct software and settings for your specific vehicle configuration.
What if my airbag light is on after I install the BCM?
This can happen on some models. It simply means the new BCM needs to be electronically introduced to the airbag system. A technician with a professional-grade scan tool can perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure to resolve this.
Is this a guaranteed fix for my vehicle’s electrical problems?
If your vehicle has been properly diagnosed with a faulty BCM, this part is the correct solution. It’s crucial to ensure the BCM is the source of the issue, as wiring or sensor problems can cause similar symptoms.
