Is your GM truck or van experiencing bizarre electrical problems?
If you’re dealing with flickering lights, malfunctioning power windows or locks, or strange warning messages on your dash, a failing Body Control Module (BCM) is the most likely culprit. The BCM acts as the central hub for your vehicle’s body electronics, and when it fails, it can cause a wide range of frustrating and seemingly unrelated issues. This is especially common in vehicles like the Chevy S10, GMC Sonoma, and other GM models from the early 2000s.
Common Symptoms of a Failing BCM
- ✔ Erratic or non-working power windows, mirrors, and door locks.
- ✔ Interior or exterior lights staying on, not turning on, or flickering.
- ✔ The security system light is on or flashing, causing a no-start condition.
- ✔ Horn honking unexpectedly or not working at all.
- ✔ Intermittent operation of the radio or climate controls.
- ✔ False warning messages on the instrument cluster (e.g., “Service 4WD”).
- ✔ Wipers behaving erratically or not parking in the correct position.

Important Post-Installation Information
While our programming handles the majority of the setup, some vehicles may require additional steps after installation. Please be aware of the following possibilities:
- Airbag System Sync: If your airbag warning light is illuminated after installing the new BCM, a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure is necessary. This requires a professional-grade scan tool to sync the airbag system with the new BCM and clear the light.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: On certain models, a brake pedal position sensor recalibration might be needed to ensure your brake lights and traction control system function correctly.
Specific procedures can vary by vehicle. Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician for guidance.
