Restore Full Functionality to Your Vehicle’s Electronics
Are you experiencing bizarre electrical issues in your Pontiac Torrent or other compatible GM vehicle? Symptoms like flickering interior lights, unresponsive power windows and locks, or a security system that acts up on its own are common 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 create a host of frustrating and unpredictable problems. This replacement Body Control Module is the definitive solution to restore your vehicle’s proper operation.
Common Symptoms of a Failing Pontiac Torrent BCM
If your vehicle is exhibiting any of the following behaviors, a faulty BCM is the most likely cause. Replacing it can bring your car’s accessories back to life.
Signs of BCM Failure:
- ✔ Power windows, locks, or mirrors operate intermittently or not at all.
- ✔ Interior or exterior lights flicker, stay on, or won’t turn on.
- ✔ The anti-theft system activates without reason, or the ‘Service Theft System’ light is on.
- ✔ Remote keyless entry (key fob) stops working.

Post-Installation Information
While this module is designed for a straightforward installation, some vehicles may require additional steps for full system integration:
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is illuminated after installation, a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure must be performed with a professional scan tool to sync the new BCM with the airbag module.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: To ensure correct brake light and traction control operation, a brake pedal position sensor relearn may be necessary on certain models.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a BCM and what does it do?
The Body Control Module (BCM) is an essential computer in your vehicle that manages and controls body-related electronic accessories. This includes power windows, locks, interior and exterior lighting, wipers, and the security system.
How do I provide my VIN for programming?
After you place your order, simply reply to the confirmation email with your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN. We must have your VIN to program the module before we can ship it.
Is this part difficult to install?
The physical replacement is typically simple, as the BCM is often located in the center dash or under the steering column. Because we pre-program the module, the most complex electronic part of the job is already done for you.
Do I need to send my old part back?
No. This BCM comes with no core charge, so you can keep your old part.
What if my airbag light comes on after I install this?
This is not uncommon. It simply means the new BCM needs to be electronically introduced to the airbag system (SDM). A qualified technician with a high-level scan tool can perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure to sync the modules and turn off the light.
