Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly does the Body Control Module do?
The BCM is essentially the brain for your vehicle’s body electronics. It controls non-engine related functions like power windows, door locks, interior and exterior lights, the security system, wipers, and the HVAC blower motor. When it fails, these systems can become erratic or stop working altogether.
Why is VIN programming so important?
VIN programming loads your vehicle’s specific software and configurations onto the BCM. This allows it to communicate correctly with the other modules in your Escalade, such as the Engine Control Module and Airbag Module. Without it, the part simply will not work correctly, and certain features may be disabled.
Is this BCM difficult to install?
For most individuals with basic hand tools, the installation is straightforward. The BCM is typically located under the steering column. The process involves disconnecting the battery, removing a few trim panels, and swapping the electrical connectors from the old module to the new one. It can often be completed in under 30 minutes.
My airbag light is on. Will this fix it?
A faulty BCM is a common cause of an airbag light. While this module will fix the root cause, the airbag system (SDM) may need to be reset with a professional-grade scan tool after installation to clear the stored fault code and turn off the light. This is a standard security procedure known as “Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM.”
