Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to program this module?
No. We handle all the programming for you before shipment. Simply provide your vehicle’s VIN during or after checkout, and the module will arrive flashed with the correct software and ready for installation.
What does a Body Control Module do?
The BCM controls a wide range of non-engine related functions in your vehicle. This includes power windows, power mirrors, power door locks, the anti-theft system, interior and exterior lighting, and wipers, among other things.
Is this a difficult part to install?
For the 2010 Suburban, the BCM is typically located under the steering column. Installation is manageable for a confident DIYer with basic tools. It involves disconnecting the battery, removing some trim panels, and swapping the electrical connectors. However, if you are not comfortable working with vehicle electronics, we recommend professional installation.
What if my airbag light is on after installation?
In some cases, the new BCM may need to be synced with the airbag system (SDM). This is done using a professional scan tool with a procedure called ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’. This is a standard procedure that any qualified repair shop can perform.
