Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to take my van to a dealer after installing this BCM?
No. Because this Body Control Module is pre-programmed to your vehicle’s VIN, it does not require any additional programming from a dealership. This saves you time and money, making it a true plug-and-play solution.
What tools are needed for installation?
Installation is typically simple, requiring basic hand tools like a socket set to access the module, which is usually located under the steering column or in the center dash area. Always disconnect the vehicle’s battery before starting the replacement.
What if my airbag light stays on after installation?
In some cases, the new BCM needs to be synced with the airbag system’s SDM (Sensing and Diagnostic Module). This is done with a procedure called ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ using a professional-grade scan tool. This is only necessary if the airbag light remains on after the BCM is installed.
Is there a core charge for my old part?
No, there is no core charge. You are not required to send your old BCM back to us, which simplifies the repair process for you.
