Post-Installation Notes: While this module is plug-and-play, some vehicles may require a simple relearn procedure. If the airbag light appears after installation, a professional scan tool is needed to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure. Additionally, a ‘Brake Pedal Position Relearn’ may be necessary on some models to ensure proper brake light and traction control function. These procedures are straightforward for any qualified technician.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to have a dealer program this BCM?
No. We pre-program the module to your vehicle’s VIN before we ship it to you. It arrives ready for installation, saving you time and the expense of a dealership visit.
How do I provide my vehicle’s VIN?
You can add your VIN to the order notes during checkout or simply reply to your order confirmation email with the information. We cannot ship the part until we have your VIN to ensure correct programming.
Is this part difficult to install?
The physical installation is relatively simple for someone with basic mechanical skills. It’s typically located under the driver’s side dashboard. However, be aware that post-installation relearn procedures for the airbag or brake systems may be required.
What if my airbag light is on after I install it?
This is a known possibility. It means the new BCM needs to be synced with the airbag system’s SDM. A technician with a professional-grade scan tool will need to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure to resolve it.
Will this fix my power window and lock problems?
If the BCM is the root cause of the failure, then yes. Faulty power accessories are one of the most common symptoms of a bad BCM in these 2001 GM trucks and SUVs.
Is there a core charge for my old part?
No, there is no core charge. You can keep your original module.
