Installation and Post-Install Procedures
The BCM is typically located on the driver’s side, under the dashboard. While installation is a direct replacement, some vehicles may require simple post-installation relearn procedures. These can often be performed by a local mechanic with a capable diagnostic tool.
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is illuminated after installation, a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure is needed to sync the new BCM with the airbag system. This is only required if the light is on.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: On some models, a brake pedal position sensor recalibration might be necessary to ensure correct brake light operation and traction control system function.
Disclaimer: Specific procedures can vary by vehicle. Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician for guidance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to get this BCM programmed by a dealer?
No! This is the biggest benefit of our service. We program the module to your vehicle’s specific VIN before we ship it to you. It arrives ready for installation, saving you hundreds in dealership programming fees.
Where is the BCM located on my 2001 Suburban?
The Body Control Module is typically found under the driver’s side of the dashboard, to the left of the steering column.
What happens if my airbag light is on after I install this?
If the airbag light comes on, it means the new BCM needs to be electronically introduced to the airbag system (SDM). A mechanic with a professional scan tool can perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure to resolve this.
Why do you need my VIN?
Your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) allows us to access the exact factory software and settings for your truck’s specific options (like 4×4, power seats, etc.). This ensures the replacement 2001 Suburban Body Control Module works perfectly with your vehicle.
Will this fix my truck not starting?
It can. The BCM is a key part of the Passlock anti-theft system. If the BCM is faulty, it can prevent the engine from starting. While other issues can cause a no-start, a bad BCM is a common reason.
