Are you experiencing frustrating electrical problems in your GM truck or SUV? Issues like erratic power windows, flickering interior or exterior lights, a malfunctioning security system, or even a no-start condition are common signs of a failing Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM acts as the central hub for your vehicle’s body electronics, and when it fails, it can cause a wide range of confusing symptoms. This pre-programmed BCM is the definitive solution to restore your vehicle’s functionality and peace of mind.
This is not just a replacement part; it’s a complete, ready-to-install solution. We flash the module with the latest GM software updates, specifically programmed to your vehicle’s unique VIN. This critical step ensures perfect compatibility and function right out of the box, saving you from the time, expense, and hassle of a dealership visit for programming. Simply install the module, perform any necessary relearn procedures, and get back on the road.

Installation & Post-Install Requirements
After physical installation, your vehicle may require one or more of the following procedures to ensure full functionality. These procedures sync the new module with your vehicle’s other systems.
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is on after installation, a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure must be performed with a professional-grade scan tool.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: A recalibration of the brake pedal position sensor might be needed for correct brake light and traction control operation.
Disclaimer: Specific procedures can vary by vehicle. Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician for guidance.
