Are you battling frustrating electrical problems in your GM truck or van? Issues like flickering lights, malfunctioning power windows, or a security system that acts up on its own are often signs of a failing Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM is the central command center for your vehicle’s body electronics, and when it fails, it can cause a wide range of confusing and intermittent symptoms. This replacement BCM, part number 15194169, is the definitive solution to restore full functionality and reliability to your vehicle.
We make the replacement process straightforward. Unlike a trip to the dealership, which involves costly programming fees and vehicle downtime, our BCM arrives at your door pre-programmed to your vehicle’s specific VIN. Simply provide us with your VIN during checkout, and our technicians will flash the module with the latest GM software updates, ensuring it’s ready for installation right out of the box. This eliminates the need for expensive scan tools or dealership intervention for the initial setup.

Post-Installation Information
While our BCM is programmed for a simple installation, some vehicles may require additional steps to sync with other onboard systems. If your airbag warning light is on after installation, a professional scan tool is needed to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure. Additionally, a ‘Brake Pedal Position Relearn’ may be necessary to ensure proper brake light and traction control operation. Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician for vehicle-specific procedures.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a BCM and what does it do?
The Body Control Module (BCM) is a computer in your vehicle that manages and controls electronic body accessories. This includes power windows, locks, lights, the alarm system, wipers, and the instrument panel.
Why do I need to provide my VIN?
Your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) allows us to program the BCM with the correct software and settings for your vehicle’s specific options and features. This ensures a seamless installation and proper function without a trip to the dealer.
Is this part difficult to install?
The physical installation is typically straightforward, involving unplugging the old BCM and plugging in the new one. It’s usually located under the steering column or in the center dash. However, some models may require post-installation procedures like an airbag or brake sensor relearn, which requires a professional scan tool.
What if my airbag light comes on after installation?
This is a known possibility. It means the new BCM needs to be electronically ‘introduced’ to the airbag system’s computer (SDM). A qualified technician with a high-end diagnostic tool can perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure to resolve this.
Do I need to send my old BCM back?
No. This product comes with no core charge, so you are not required to return your original module.
