Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Notification Feature
The BCM provides a notification feature that will unlock all of the doors if the vehicle is equipped with power door locks, turn ON the dome lamp and flash the daytime running lights (DRLs). The sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) will send the air bag deployed message to the BCM. The BCM will begin the notification event 15 seconds after receiving the message. The BCM will continue flashing the DRLs and keep the dome lamp ON until the ignition is turned from ON to Off then ON. The notification feature is enabled from the factory on all vehicles.
