Simple Installation and Post-Install Notes
The BCM is typically located under the driver’s side dashboard, near the steering column, making for a quick replacement that often takes less than 15 minutes. While the unit is plug-and-play for most functions, please be aware of a few potential post-installation procedures:
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag light remains on after installation, a professional scan tool is needed to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ function. This re-syncs the new BCM with the airbag system.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: On some models, a brake pedal position sensor relearn may be required to ensure correct brake light and traction control operation.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Body Control Module do on my Sierra?
The BCM is a computer that manages and controls your truck’s non-engine related electronic systems. This includes power windows, door locks, security system, lighting, wipers, and the HVAC system.
Is this BCM truly plug-and-play?
Yes, it is. We program the module to your vehicle’s VIN before it ships, so it’s ready for installation without needing a trip to the dealership for programming. In some cases, minor relearn procedures may be needed as noted above.
What if my airbag light is on after I install it?
This is a common security measure. You will need a qualified technician with a high-level scan tool to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure to sync the new BCM with the existing airbag system.
Do I need to send my old BCM back?
No. This part is sold with no core charge, so you do not need to return your original module.
Where is the BCM located on a 2011 Sierra Denali?
The BCM is located inside the cabin, under the driver’s side of the dashboard, typically near the steering column for easy access.
Will this fix my intermittent HVAC blower?
A faulty BCM is a very common cause of intermittent or non-functional HVAC controls and blower motor operation. Replacing it often resolves these specific issues.
