Installation and Post-Install Notes
Physical installation is straightforward for most DIYers and can often be completed in under 15 minutes. The BCM is typically located under the driver’s side dashboard, near the steering column. While the unit is plug-and-play for most functions, some vehicles may require a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure if the airbag light remains on after installation. This requires a professional-grade scan tool to sync the new BCM with the airbag system. Additionally, there is no core charge, so you can keep your old part without any extra hassle.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does a Body Control Module do?
The BCM acts as the brain for your vehicle’s body electronics. It controls non-engine related functions like power windows, locks, lights, wipers, the security system, and the HVAC system.
