What to do if your Chevy Malibu has a recall?
GM will notify owners, and dealers will attach the wiring harness to the BCM with a spacer, apply dielectric lubricant to both the BCM and harness connector and the BAS and harness connector, and will relearn the brake pedal home position, free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided a notification schedule.
Do you need a BCM for a GM Truck?
You could get lucky and need the bcm but I wouldn’t put money on it (which you are). 1)I buy a new replacement bcm from my gm dealer, install it, start the truck and drive it to the dealer for programming. You could do this, you will have to program the security code first. Then drive it in to have the RPO’s programmed in the BCM.
What happens when a BCM goes bad in a car?
As the BCM is communicating with other control elements of your car, its accomplishments of various functions may be hindered. For example, a defective BCM may trigger dashboard instrumentation cluster error and the car’s warning lights may flash on and off (such as the “check engine light”).

When do you replace the BCM on a GM car?
I will be having a Gm dealership installing my 3rd b.C.M, since 2008 and 80,000mi, after I get some advice. A few different electrical issues show up and are fixed by replaceing the bcm ( rear wiper, brake lights, brake pedal adjust, alarm goes off then shuts itself off at sporadic times) those are the ones I remember there may be more.
