Post-Installation Procedures
While this module is programmed for your vehicle, certain security and safety systems may require a simple ‘relearn’ or ‘sync’ procedure after installation. This is a standard part of the repair process.
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is on after installation, a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure must be performed with a compatible professional scan tool.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: A recalibration of the brake pedal position sensor may be needed to ensure correct brake light and traction control operation.
Note: Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified automotive technician for vehicle-specific procedures.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to program this BCM?
No. We handle all the programming for you before shipment. Simply provide us with your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN during checkout, and the module will arrive ready to be installed.
Is this a difficult part to install?
The physical installation is typically straightforward for someone with mechanical experience. The BCM is usually located under the dash. However, due to the potential need for post-install relearn procedures (like for the airbag system), we recommend installation by a professional mechanic with a proper diagnostic scan tool.
What happens if the airbag light stays on after I install it?
This is a normal security measure. The BCM needs to be synced with the vehicle’s airbag module (SDM). A qualified technician can perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure with a professional-grade scan tool to resolve this.
Will this 2008-2012 Express 2500 Body Control Module fit other vehicles?
Yes, this BCM is compatible with a wide range of GM vehicles from this era, including the GMC Savana, Chevrolet Tahoe, GMC Yukon, Cadillac Escalade, and more. It replaces numerous part numbers, making it a versatile solution.
What does ‘No Core Charge’ mean?
It means you do not have to send your old, failed BCM back to us. This saves you the cost and hassle of packaging and shipping your original part, and you won’t have to wait for a core refund.
