Installation and Post-Install Notes
While this module is designed for plug-and-play installation, some vehicle systems may require a relearn or synchronization procedure after the BCM is replaced. This is a normal part of the process for ensuring all vehicle systems communicate correctly.
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is illuminated after installation, a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure must be performed with a professional-grade scan tool. This syncs the new BCM with the airbag system.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: On some models, a brake pedal position sensor relearn may be required to ensure correct operation of the brake lights and traction control system.
Disclaimer: Specific procedures can vary by vehicle. Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician for guidance.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Body Control Module (BCM) do?
The BCM is a computer that acts as the central hub for your vehicle’s body electronics. It controls non-engine related functions like power windows, locks, lights, security system, wipers, and more.
Do I need to get this module programmed by a dealer?
No. We handle the programming for you before we ship the part. Just provide us with your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN, and we will flash the module with the latest GM software for your specific vehicle.
Where is the BCM located on a 2010 Cadillac Escalade?
On the 2010 Escalade, Tahoe, Yukon, and Suburban, the BCM is typically located under the steering column, accessible from the driver’s side dash area.
What if my airbag light turns on after I install this BCM?
This can happen. It means the new BCM needs to be electronically introduced to the airbag system (SDM). A procedure called ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ will need to be performed by a shop with a capable diagnostic tool to resolve this.
Is there a core charge for my old part?
No, there is no core charge for this module. You can keep your original part.
