Post-Installation Steps
While this module is designed to be plug-and-play, some vehicle systems may require a relearn procedure after installation. These can often be performed with a high-end diagnostic scan tool.
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is on after installation, a procedure called ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ is needed to sync the new BCM with the airbag system.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: A recalibration of the brake pedal position sensor may be required to ensure proper function of the brake lights and traction control system.
Disclaimer: Specific procedures can vary. Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician for guidance.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the BCM do on my 2010 Tahoe?
The Body Control Module (BCM) acts as the brain for your truck’s non-engine related electronics. It controls functions like power windows, locks, lights, the security system, wipers, and the instrument cluster.
Is this BCM ready to install?
Yes! This BCM is sold as a fully programmed, plug-and-play solution. We flash it with the latest GM software using the VIN you provide, so it’s ready for installation upon arrival.
Where is the BCM located on a 2010 Chevy Tahoe?
The BCM is typically located inside the cabin, 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 your vehicle’s VIN. The programming is essential for the module to communicate correctly with your Tahoe’s other systems. We will contact you to retrieve it, which may delay your order.
Will this fix my airbag light?
If the BCM was the cause of the light, this will resolve the root problem. However, after installation, the airbag system (SDM) must be synced with the new BCM using a professional scan tool to turn the light off.
