Restore Your Truck’s Electrical System with Confidence
Are you battling frustrating electrical gremlins in your GM truck or SUV?

An Expert’s Note on BCM Replacement
“I spoke with a Sierra 2500 owner last week who was quoted over $1,200 by his local dealer to diagnose and replace a faulty BCM. His truck’s lights were acting possessed, and his remote start had stopped working. He was hesitant but decided to try one of our pre-programmed modules. After a 30-minute install in his driveway, everything was back to normal. He saved hundreds of dollars and the headache of leaving his work truck at the shop for days. This isn’t just a part; it’s a practical solution that respects your time and your wallet.”
Installation & Post-Install Requirements
The BCM is typically located under the steering column on the driver’s side. While the physical swap is straightforward, please be aware of the following potential post-installation steps:
- 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.
Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician if you are unsure about any step of the installation process.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I really need to send you my VIN?
Yes, providing your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) is absolutely essential. We use your VIN to load the correct software and vehicle-specific calibrations onto the BCM. Without it, the module will not communicate properly with your truck’s other computers.
Is this a difficult part to install myself?
For someone with basic mechanical skills, the physical replacement is not difficult. It’s usually located under the driver’s side dash and held in by a few bolts or clips. The most important part is that our pre-programming service handles the complex software side of the job for you.
What tools are required for the post-install procedures?
The potential Airbag System Sync and Brake Pedal Position Relearn procedures require a high-level, bi-directional diagnostic scan tool, such as a GM Tech 2 or equivalent professional-grade scanner. Basic OBDII code readers cannot perform these functions.
Will this fix my specific electrical problem?
This programmed 22846365 BCM is the solution for a huge range of electrical issues. If you’re experiencing multiple, unrelated electronic malfunctions (like power locks, windows, and radio acting up simultaneously), the BCM is the most likely culprit. Proper diagnosis is always recommended.
What happens if I install it and the airbag light comes on?
This is a known possibility. It simply means the new BCM needs to be electronically introduced to your vehicle’s airbag module (SDM). A repair shop with a capable scan tool can perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure in a few minutes to resolve this.
