  • This video will show you how to replace the Body Control Module in a 2003-2006 (possibly other years)Tahoe, Suburban, Avalanche, Silverado, Sierra, Escalade including how to relearn the security feature so that your vehicle will start with the replacement BCM installed. This truck has the 5.3 vortec v8 engine

    Just to clear up some confusion this will not work for anyone who buys a new BCM from Amazon or elsewhere like I did. The process in this video only works on a BCM that is already programmed to the specifications of your vehicle. Hence the importance of the matched part numbers. If you buy a new BCM the part number will not match and it will not have any programming whatsoever. This will require you to bring your vehicle to the dealer for programming or to someone with the proper equipment and knowledge to do so. I purchased a new BCM and plan to discuss options with the local GM dealer about the BCM programming. Either I drive my vehicle down there with the bad BCM installed, hand them the new one and have them install and program it, or install the new BCM myself and have my vehicle towed to them for programming. I have a hunch I won't save much money either way.

      Thanks for clearing this up. I have pinned your comment to the top so hopefully it will be seen. I realized I stated that all the numbers matched up on mine in the video but failed to get into the importance of them matching.

      Hey dave I've got a really dumb question for you I really hope you are able to answer! I've got an 03 Escalade esv and I started having a/c and other issues and thought it was the bcm that was the culprit! Sooo, I bought a bcm from a diner escalade and found the relearn secret hand shake to get it to start and work properly! Heres where the issue starts. So, the truck does everything it's supposed to but has the same problems as before, so it wasnt my original bcm that was the problem! All was good except that the truck through a permanent code for the airbag! I know once alot of vehicles hit 100k they automatically drip a code for the air bags so you will take it to the dealer to get a check up done on your system. My original bcm didnt throw this code. For safety sake, (months later) today I finally got around to changing my original bcm back into the escalade. I went to go do the secret hand shake process (4x 10 min, cycle key, bla bla bla) well to my surprise the truck actually started right away with no hesitation! It didnt do the turn over start and shut right off routine! Everything worked as it should except the little lockout idiot light on the dash was solid lit up would go out, and wouldnt flash so I could do the re-learn process! I went to clear my check engine light and see what/if my code scanner had to say. The scanner wouldnt even pick up that it was connected to the truck? The a/c & heat worker recently accept it cut in and out a bit? But the windows auto door locks, door remote fob everything works? Any thoughts on getting the dash lock light to flash so I can get the bcm to relearn the truck again. Again I've now got the original bcm the truck originally had in it. I'm guessing it restarted right away because the bcm originally came in the truck but if that's the case I cant figure for the life of me how to all the way get the original bcm all the remated again and have no airbag dash light so it's safe for the family to cruise in again.. thanks, hopefully you see this soon and are able to give helpful input because I'm sitting in the drivers seat now with the hood up... 30 jan 2020 4pm

    Easy peasy! Dash came apart without a fight. Connections were easily removed. Old BCM came out quickly and after putting it in backwards, the new BCM went in the slot. Connections were quick. Going through the off/on cycles to program the new BCM took time, but went exactly as instructed. Truck started and idle came back down within a few minutes. No issues. On mine, the seat belt alarm went off continuously and the head lights only worked when manually turned on. This corrected both issues. Rebuild BCM at O'Reileys was just over $300. Thanks for the video!

Now I have to either go to the dealer or find a mechanic that can utilize a scan tool to make the airbag module (SDM) communicate with the new BCM. The headache continues.

It needs to have the same part number as your original BCM and should work after the relearn process. It is my understanding that it will need to be reprogrammed by dealer for the factory stereo to work. I have an aftermarket stereo installed and did not need to reprogram.

      I'm a little concerned that the factory stereo might not work after changing the BCM. I have a 2003 Yukon. Today it has started saying the rear hatch is open when it is closed. The interior lights are staying on so I pushed the override so they wouldn't drain the battery.

I have a 03 yukon denali and my battery keep dieing, some say its the cluster not shutting down while parked at night also my radio is pulling power(fuse) too also amp(fuse) my question is can a bad BCM cause these units not to shut down when they suppose to my battery is dead like the next day but when charge everything works like they should.

    • @daveaffolter9697
      @daveaffolter9697  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      There are many things that could cause your battery to drain. Also the battery could be bad. I believe the radio and a few other things draw some current for a few minutes after turning off the car(not positive on this). With mine the bcm caused the battery to die because the vehicle would randomly think the door was not shut and the dome lights would come on. Plus if it was locked that would cause the alarm to go off. Sorry I can't give you a definitive answer but good luck with it. I do know that I have had electrical problems with all four of my vehicles that had the vortec engine.

    Hello Dave. We have a slightly different scenario with our new BCM in our 2005 Tahoe. I have installed a pre-programmed replacement but our engine started right up on the first turn of the starter...not a bad thing by itself, but it did create the need to pull the fuel pump relay to keep the engine from starting. Even with the fuel pump off, and following the steps you discussed in this video, I can't get the security key lamp to blink and then turn off after any amount of time. I elected to just let it sit for more than 15 minuets to see if the light would turn off, but it did not. So we are left with a new BCM that apparently I can't learn in to the car. Any ideas what else I can do to get it to learn it in? Is there a way to trick the computer into thinking that I have initiated the passcode learn procedure that I can try?

    • @daveaffolter9697
      @daveaffolter9697  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      It is a relearn process between the key/ignition and the bcm. This may take care of your issues it also may not. Could also be shorts in the wires, badd connection, blown fuse, etc. I am not sure if the speedometer light is connected. These vehicles tend to develop many issues in the dash cluster. I have had many of these with different dash issues. Hope you get your truck fixed. Sorry I couldn't be more help

      I have heard of people having to replace the fuse box to fix that problem. Was also told it could be the park neutral safety switch. The bcm also has something to do with the reverse light. For a temporary workaround you may be able to pull the fuse if nothing else is on that fuse
