Post-Installation Requirements
While our programming handles the majority of the setup, some vehicle systems may require a final handshake after the new BCM is installed. Please be aware of the following potential procedures:
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is illuminated after installation, a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure must be performed using a professional-grade diagnostic tool. This syncs the new BCM with the airbag system.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: On some models, a brake pedal position sensor relearn may be necessary to ensure correct brake light operation and to prevent issues with the traction control system.
Disclaimer: Specific procedures can vary. Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician for guidance.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Body Control Module (BCM)?
The BCM is a computer in your vehicle that controls and monitors a wide variety of electronic accessories not related to the engine, such as power windows, locks, lights, wipers, and the security system.
Do I need to get this BCM programmed?
No. We handle the programming for you before we ship the part. Just provide your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN when you order, and it will arrive ready to install.
Where is the BCM located on a 2010 Chevy Suburban?
On the 2010 Suburban, the BCM is typically located under the driver’s side of the dashboard, near the steering column.
What happens if I forget to provide my VIN?
We cannot ship your order without the VIN, as programming is essential for the part to function in your vehicle. We will contact you to get the VIN, but this will delay your shipment.
Is there a core charge for my old part?
No, there is no core charge. You can keep your original module.
Will this fix my airbag light?
If the BCM was the cause of the light, this may resolve it. However, after installation, the airbag system (SDM) may need to be electronically synced to the new BCM using a professional scan tool to turn off the light.
