Frequently Asked Questions
What does a Body Control Module do?
The BCM is a computer in your vehicle responsible for managing and monitoring various non-engine-related electronic accessories. This includes power windows, door locks, the security system, interior and exterior lighting, wipers, and the HVAC system.
Is this part difficult to install?
Installation is typically straightforward for someone with basic mechanical skills. The module is usually located under the driver’s side dashboard near the steering column. The process involves disconnecting the battery, unplugging the electrical connectors from the old BCM, removing it, and installing the new one. The entire process often takes less than 30 minutes.
Do I need to send my old part back?
No, there is no core charge for this part. You can keep or dispose of your old module without any hassle or additional fees.
What if my airbag light is on after installation?
In some cases, the new BCM needs to be synced with the vehicle’s airbag system (SDM). If the airbag light remains on, a professional scan tool is required to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure. This is a quick process for any qualified technician.
