Post-Installation Procedures
While this module is designed for a simple installation, some vehicles may require minor post-install relearn procedures. These can typically be performed with a bi-directional scan tool.
- Airbag System Sync: If your airbag warning light is illuminated after installation, a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure is needed to sync the modules. This is only required if the light is on.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: On some models, a brake pedal position sensor recalibration may be necessary to ensure correct brake light and traction control operation.
Specific procedures can vary by vehicle. Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician for guidance.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Body Control Module (BCM) do?
The BCM acts as the central computer for your vehicle’s non-engine related electronics. It controls functions like power windows, locks, lights, wipers, the security system, and the instrument cluster.
How does the VIN programming work?
After you place your order, you provide us with your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). Our technicians use this VIN to load the exact software and settings for your specific vehicle onto the BCM before shipping it to you.
Is this part difficult to install?
For the 2010 Escalade EXT, the BCM is typically located under the steering column. Installation involves disconnecting the battery and swapping the module connectors. It’s a manageable DIY job for someone with basic mechanical skills, but we always recommend consulting a service manual.
Do I need to send my old BCM back?
No, there is no core charge for this part. You can keep your original module.
What if my airbag light comes on after I install the new BCM?
This can happen occasionally. It means the new BCM needs to be electronically introduced to the airbag system’s computer (SDM). A professional scan tool is required to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure to resolve this.
