Expert Insight: The Power of VIN-Specific Programming
Many don’t realize that a BCM from a donor vehicle will rarely work correctly, even if the part number matches. That’s because GM vehicles have dozens of unique RPO (Regular Production Option) codes that define everything from the type of headlights to whether you have power-folding mirrors. Our VIN programming process reads your vehicle’s specific build data and configures the BCM to match it perfectly. This prevents frustrating issues like features not working post-installation and ensures a true, dealer-level fix without the dealer hassle.
Important Post-Installation Procedures
While this 2012-2014 GM BCM 22846364 is designed for a straightforward installation, some vehicles may require additional steps to sync all systems. Please be aware of the following potential requirements:
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is on 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 module.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: Some models may require a brake pedal position sensor recalibration to ensure proper brake light and traction control operation.
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 send you my old BCM?
No. There is no core charge for this part. You can keep your original module after installing the new one.
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). We cannot program and ship the module without it. Please double-check it for accuracy to ensure perfect compatibility.
Is this a difficult part to install?
The BCM is typically located under the steering column. Installation is generally straightforward for someone with moderate mechanical experience. It involves removing a few dash panels and disconnecting electrical connectors. The most critical part is ensuring the battery is disconnected before you begin.
Will this fix my specific electrical problem?
This 2012-2014 GM BCM 22846364 is the solution for a very wide range of body-related electrical failures. If you’re experiencing multiple, seemingly unrelated issues with lights, windows, locks, or security, the BCM is the most likely culprit. Proper diagnosis is always recommended.
What tools are needed for the post-installation procedures?
The potential post-installation procedures, like the airbag system sync or brake pedal relearn, require a high-level, bi-directional diagnostic scan tool (such as a GM Tech 2, MDI, or equivalent professional-grade scanner). Basic OBD-II code readers cannot perform these functions.
