Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to program this BCM?
No. We handle all the programming for you before shipment. Simply provide your vehicle’s VIN during checkout, and the module will arrive ready for installation with the latest GM software.
What is a BCM and what does it control?
The Body Control Module (BCM) is a computer that manages many of your vehicle’s non-engine related functions, such as power windows, locks, lights, security system, wipers, and interior accessories.
Is this a plug-and-play installation?
For most vehicles, yes. However, as noted, some models may require a simple ‘relearn’ procedure for the airbag system or brake pedal position sensor, which may require a professional scan tool.
How do I know if my BCM is the problem?
Common signs include multiple, unrelated electrical issues like failing power accessories, security system faults, and intermittent starting problems. A diagnostic scan showing communication codes (U-codes) often points to the BCM.
Why do you need my VIN?
Your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) allows us to program the BCM with the exact software and settings that your vehicle had when it left the factory, ensuring all features work correctly.
Is there a core charge for my old part?
