Installation and Post-Install Notes
n
Installation is straightforward for the average DIYer. The BCM is typically located under the driver’s side dashboard, near the steering column. Simply disconnect the vehicle’s battery, unclip the electrical connectors from the old module, remove it, and install the new one. Reconnect the battery, and you’re done. There is no core charge, so you can keep your old part. In some cases, an ‘Airbag System Sync’ or ‘Brake Pedal Position Relearn’ may be needed if related warning lights appear, which can be done with a professional scan tool.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a Body Control Module (BCM) do?
The BCM is a computer that manages and controls many of your vehicle’s non-engine related electronic functions, such as power windows, locks, lights, wipers, the security system, and the HVAC system.
Why is VIN programming so important for this part?
VIN programming loads your vehicle’s specific configuration and security information onto the BCM. Without it, the module won’t communicate correctly with other computers in the vehicle, leading to system malfunctions or a no-start condition. Our pre-programming service eliminates the need for dealership intervention.
Is this part difficult to install myself?
No, for most individuals with basic tools, the installation takes less than 15 minutes. It involves unplugging the old module and plugging in the new one. Always disconnect the battery first.
Will this fix my airbag light?
If the airbag light is caused by a BCM-related code like B1001 (Option Configuration Error), this module will resolve the root cause. However, after installation, a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure may be required with a scan tool to clear the light.
My old module has a different part number. Will this still work?
Yes, this module is a direct replacement for numerous GM part numbers, including 15116066, 15136225, 10383536, and others listed in the compatibility chart. As long as your vehicle model is listed, this part will function correctly.
