Post-Installation Information
While this module is designed to be a plug-and-play solution, some GM vehicles may require simple relearn procedures after installation. These are typically straightforward and ensure all systems communicate correctly.
- Airbag System Sync: If your airbag warning light is on after installation, a professional scan tool may be needed to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure. This syncs the new BCM with the airbag system.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: On some models, a brake pedal position sensor recalibration might be necessary to ensure proper function of the brake lights and traction control system.
Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician for vehicle-specific procedures.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a Body Control Module do?
The BCM is a computer that manages many of your vehicle’s non-engine related functions, such as power windows, locks, lights, security system, and interior accessories. It acts as a central hub for these systems.
Do I need to program this module?
No. We program the module to your vehicle’s VIN before shipping it to you. It arrives ready for installation, with no additional programming required on your end.
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 for your specific model and options.
Is this part difficult to install?
For most GM trucks and SUVs like the Avalanche, the BCM is located under the steering column or on the driver’s side of the dashboard. Installation typically involves removing a few trim panels and connectors. It is a manageable job for a DIYer with basic tools.
What if the airbag light comes on after I install it?
This can happen occasionally. It means the new BCM needs to be electronically introduced to the airbag system (SDM). A procedure called ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ will need to be performed with a professional-grade diagnostic tool to resolve this.
Is there a core charge?
No, there is no core charge for this part. You can keep your original module without needing to send it back.
