FaultCrate・GMC Yukon XL 2000–2006
Candidate cause (the documents say what to do)
Intermittent battery lamp with history DTC B1489 after BGCM replacement (module not SPS programmed)
A vehicle may have an intermittent battery lamp with a history code B1489 in the Battery Generator Control Module (BGCM).
The concern may be noticed after the BGCM has been replaced for another issue.
How to tell
B1489Charging system / battery light
What to do
- Whenever the BGCM is replaced, the module needs to be SPS programmed before the vehicle is released to the customer.

General Motors 2007-07-01
If the calibration was not completed properly or the vehicle left the dealership with the module not programmed, a DTC B1489 code may be set, followed by a intermittent battery lamp.

A cause or a result a complaint states is the owner’s view or what a dealer told them, not an established fact.
Put together by FaultCrate from public records and technical documents. The cause and the repair are for the workshop to decide with the vehicle in front of it. Counts are records, not failure rates.
