Frequently Asked Questions
What does a Body Control Module do on a Cadillac Escalade?
The BCM acts as the main computer for your vehicle’s non-engine related functions. It controls the power windows, door locks, security system, interior and exterior lighting, wipers, and HVAC blower motor, ensuring all your luxury and convenience features work correctly.
Is this BCM difficult to install?
No, installation is typically very straightforward. The BCM is usually located under the steering column or driver’s side dash. Since it comes pre-programmed to your VIN, it’s a simple plug-and-play process that often takes less than 15 minutes. Always disconnect the battery before starting.
Will I need to go to the dealer after installing this part?
Our VIN programming process eliminates the need for any additional programming from a dealership, which saves you significant time and money. In some rare cases, a specific procedure like an airbag system sync may be needed if a warning light appears, which can be done with a high-level scan tool.
What happens if my airbag light is on after installation?
If the airbag warning light is illuminated after you install the new BCM, a procedure called ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ will need to be performed. This requires a professional-grade diagnostic tool to sync the new BCM with the airbag system and turn off the light.
Does this part have a core charge?
