Frequently Asked Questions
How do I provide my VIN for programming?
After you complete your purchase, you will need to send us your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). We cannot ship your part until we receive this information, as it is essential for programming the module correctly for your specific vehicle.
Is this BCM difficult to install?
The BCM is typically located under the driver’s side of the dashboard. Installation involves disconnecting the battery, removing a few trim panels, and swapping the electrical connectors. For someone with basic mechanical skills, it’s a very manageable job. However, we always recommend consulting a service manual for your specific model.
What if my airbag light comes on after installation?
In some cases, the new BCM may need to be synced with the airbag system (SDM). If the airbag light is on after you install the part, a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure will need to be performed by a professional with a capable diagnostic tool. This is a simple sync procedure, not a full reprogramming.
Will this fix my specific electrical problem?
This Programmed 2001 Sierra 3500 BCM is the direct solution for failures within the module itself, which cause the symptoms listed above. While it resolves the vast majority of these issues, you should always ensure your vehicle’s wiring and connectors are in good condition, as they can sometimes cause similar problems.
Do I need to return my old BCM?
No. We do not require you to return your original part. There is no core charge or deposit associated with this purchase, making the process simpler and more convenient for you.
