Are you battling frustrating electrical problems in your GM truck, van, or Chevrolet SSR? Flickering lights, malfunctioning power windows and locks, a security system that acts up, or an instrument cluster that seems to have a mind of its own are all classic signs of a failing Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM is the central nervous system for your vehicle’s body electronics, and when it fails, it can cause a wide range of confusing and intermittent issues. This pre-programmed BCM is the definitive solution to restore full functionality and reliability to your vehicle.

Before replacing your BCM, always perform a thorough check of your vehicle’s battery, alternator, and main ground connections (especially the battery-to-chassis and engine-to-chassis grounds). A weak battery or a poor ground can cause low voltage conditions that mimic BCM failure. Cleaning these connection points is a simple diagnostic step that can save you time and money.
Common Symptoms of a Failing BCM
- ✔ Erratic or non-functional interior and exterior lights.
- ✔ Power windows, door locks, or mirrors working intermittently or not at all.
- ✔ The security or anti-theft system preventing the vehicle from starting.
- ✔ Horn honking unexpectedly or not working when pressed.
- ✔ Inaccurate or dead gauges on the instrument cluster.
- ✔ Diagnostic trouble codes related to communication or various body electronic circuits.

Post-Installation Procedures
While this module is programmed for a direct installation, some GM vehicles may require one or two simple relearn procedures after the new BCM is connected. These are typically performed with a professional scan tool.
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is illuminated after installation, a procedure called ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ is needed to sync the new BCM with the airbag system.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: On certain models, a brake pedal position sensor recalibration may be necessary to ensure correct brake light operation and traction control function.
