Installation and Post-Install Notes
Replacing the BCM is typically a straightforward process, as it’s located under the steering column. However, please be aware of potential post-installation procedures:
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is illuminated after installation, a professional scan tool is required to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure. This syncs the new BCM with the airbag system.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: Some models may require a brake pedal position sensor relearn to ensure correct brake light and traction control operation.
Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician if you are unsure about any step of the process.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a Body Control Module do?
The BCM is a computer that manages and controls many of your vehicle’s non-engine related electronic features, such as power windows, locks, lights, wipers, security system, and climate controls.
Does this module need to be programmed?
No, you do not need to program it. We handle all the programming for you before shipment. Just provide your vehicle’s VIN during checkout, and it will arrive ready to install.
Where is the BCM located on a 2010 Tahoe?
On the 2010 Chevrolet Tahoe, the Body Control Module is typically located under the driver’s side of the dashboard, near the steering column.
What happens if my airbag light comes on after I install this?
This can happen occasionally. It means the new BCM needs to be electronically introduced to the airbag system. A technician with a professional diagnostic tool will need to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure to resolve it.
Is there a core charge for my old part?
No, there is no core charge. You can keep your old module, so there’s no need to worry about return shipping.
Will this fix my check engine light?
Generally, the BCM does not control engine functions. If you have a check engine light, the issue is likely with a different component, such as the Engine Control Module (ECM). This BCM resolves body electrical issues.
