Frequently Asked Questions
What does a Body Control Module do on an Express van?
The BCM manages a wide range of your van’s non-engine related electronic systems. This includes the power windows, door locks, interior and exterior lighting, security system, wipers, and HVAC blower controls. It’s the main computer for in-cabin comfort and convenience features.
Is this BCM difficult to install?
Installation is generally simple, often taking less than 15 minutes. The BCM is typically located in the center dash area. Because this unit comes pre-programmed to your VIN, no special computer tools are needed for the initial installation, making it a plug-and-play process.
Will I need to go to the dealership after installation?
No. Our VIN programming service ensures the module is ready to work with your van right out of the box, saving you the time and expense of a dealership visit for programming.
How do I know if my BCM is the problem?
The most common indicator of a failing BCM is having multiple, unrelated electrical issues occurring at the same time. For example, if your power windows, radio, and interior lights all start acting erratically, the BCM is a very strong suspect.
What happens if I don’t provide my VIN?
Providing your VIN is essential. We use it to program the module with the correct software and settings for your van’s specific options. Without it, the module will not function correctly and may cause further issues.
What does the “Setup SDM Primary Key” procedure involve?
In some cases, after installation, the airbag (SDM) module may need to be re-synced with the new BCM. This is a simple procedure that a repair shop with a professional-grade scan tool can perform, and it is only necessary if the airbag warning light is on after the BCM is replaced.
