Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Body Control Module (BCM)?
The BCM is a computer in your vehicle that controls and monitors a wide range of electronic accessories not related to the engine. This includes power windows, locks, lights, wipers, the security system, and the HVAC system. It acts as a central hub for these functions.
Is this part difficult to install?
Installation is typically very straightforward. The BCM is usually located under the driver’s side dashboard or steering column and can be replaced in under 5 minutes with basic tools. Because our modules come pre-programmed to your VIN, no additional computer setup is required for most functions.
My airbag light is on. Will this fix it?
This module often resolves issues causing an airbag light, especially with DTC B1001. However, after installation, some vehicles may require a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure using a professional scan tool to sync the new BCM with the airbag system and clear the light.
Do I need to send my old BCM back?
No. We do not have a core charge for this part. You can keep your old module, which simplifies the process and saves you the hassle and cost of return shipping.
Will this fit vehicles other than a GMC Sierra?
Yes, this Body Control Module is compatible with a wide range of 2007-2013 GM trucks and SUVs, including the Chevrolet Silverado, Tahoe, Suburban, and Cadillac Escalade. Please verify the part number or use our vehicle fitment tool to ensure it’s the correct part for your specific model.
