Installation and Post-Install Notes
While this module is designed for a straightforward installation, some vehicles may require additional steps to sync all systems. These are known as ‘relearn procedures’.
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is illuminated after installation, a professional scan tool is needed to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure. This syncs the new BCM with the airbag system.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: To ensure correct brake light operation and stability control function, a brake pedal position sensor relearn may be necessary. This can often be done with a high-end scan tool.
Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician for vehicle-specific instructions.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Body Control Module (BCM) do?
The BCM is a computer that manages many of your vehicle’s non-engine related functions, such as power windows, locks, lights, security system, wipers, and climate controls. It acts as a central hub for these systems.
Is this module truly plug-and-play?
Because we program it to your VIN, it is ready to be installed without needing initial programming from a dealer. However, as noted, some vehicles may require simple relearn procedures for the airbag or brake systems after installation.
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). You can typically add it as a note during checkout or reply to your order confirmation email with the information. We cannot ship the part until we have your VIN.
Do I need to send my old BCM back?
No, there is no core charge for this part. You can keep your original module.
What if the airbag light is on after I install the new BCM?
This is a known possibility. It means the new BCM needs to be electronically introduced to the airbag system (SDM). A repair shop with a professional diagnostic tool can perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure to resolve this.
Will this fix my car’s problem for sure?
This part will correct any issues directly caused by a faulty BCM. It is crucial to have your vehicle properly diagnosed to confirm the BCM is the source of the problem before ordering, as other issues can cause similar symptoms.
