An Expert’s Take: Why Pre-Programmed is the Smart Choice
As a technician, I’ve seen countless vehicle owners try to save a few dollars by buying a used BCM from a salvage yard. The problem is, that module is programmed for a different vehicle. It simply won’t work. You’ll still have to get the vehicle towed to a dealer or specialized shop to have it programmed, wiping out any initial savings and adding a major inconvenience. Our process eliminates that entire headache. By sending you a quality tested 2010 Tahoe Body Control Module that’s already matched to your VIN, we provide a dealership-level solution with DIY-level convenience.
Important Post-Installation Information
While this module is programmed for your vehicle, certain security and safety systems may require a simple recalibration procedure after installation. This is a normal part of the process for many modern vehicles.
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is on after installation, a professional scan tool is needed to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure. This syncs the new BCM with the airbag system.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: On some models, a brake pedal position sensor recalibration may be necessary to ensure proper brake light and traction control functionality.
Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician if you are unsure about any step of the installation or recalibration process.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to program this module?
No. We handle all the programming for you before we ship the part. All you need to do is provide us with your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN during or after checkout. This makes the installation process much simpler.
Is this part difficult to install?
The BCM is typically located under the steering column or behind the dash. For a 2010 Tahoe Body Control Module, it’s found under the steering column. Installation is generally straightforward for someone with moderate mechanical experience, involving disconnecting the battery and swapping electrical connectors. However, due to the potential need for post-install relearn procedures, professional installation is always recommended if you’re not comfortable with the process.
How do I know if my BCM is actually the problem?
While the symptoms listed above are strong indicators, the best way to be certain is to have a professional diagnosis performed with a high-end scan tool that can communicate with the Body Control Module and check for specific fault codes.
What is a ‘core charge’?
A core charge is a deposit that you pay until you return your old, failed part. We do not have a core charge on this item, which simplifies the process for you. You can keep or recycle your old part without needing to ship anything back to us.
What if my airbag light comes on after I install it?
This is a normal possibility. The new BCM needs to be electronically introduced to the vehicle’s airbag system (SDM). This requires a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure, which can be performed by most professional repair shops with an appropriate diagnostic tool.
