Frequently Asked Questions
How do I provide my VIN for programming?
After you complete your purchase, simply send us a message with your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). We cannot ship your order until we receive this information, as the programming is a critical step.
Is this a difficult part to install?
The physical replacement is straightforward for a DIYer with basic tools. The BCM is typically located under the driver’s side dashboard. The main challenge is typically the programming, which we handle for you. However, some vehicles may require additional electronic ‘relearn’ procedures after installation.
What if my airbag light comes on after installation?
This can happen occasionally. It means the new BCM needs to be electronically synced with the airbag system’s SDM module. A procedure called ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ will need to be performed by a shop with a professional-grade diagnostic tool to resolve this.
Will I need to perform any other procedures?
Depending on your specific model, a Brake Pedal Position Sensor recalibration might be necessary to ensure proper brake light and traction control operation. As with any complex repair, consulting a factory service manual is always recommended.
Does this part fix Passlock or security issues?
Yes, a failing BCM is a very common cause of security system problems in these GM vehicles. Installing a correctly programmed GM Body Control Module 9385236 is often the permanent fix for issues where the truck won’t start and the security light is flashing.
