Restoring Functionality with a Programmed 2007-2012 Acadia Body Control Module
Don’t let a faulty BCM compromise your vehicle’s safety and convenience. This module is a direct replacement for a wide range of original part numbers, ensuring broad compatibility across many GM models (see full list below). By ordering a pre-programmed 2007-2012 Acadia Body Control Module, you are bypassing the need for expensive dealership visits for programming. The unit arrives ready for installation, though some simple post-install procedures may be required depending on your vehicle’s configuration.
Post-Installation Requirements
While we handle the primary programming, some vehicle systems may need to be re-synced after installation. These are straightforward procedures for any qualified technician with a professional diagnostic tool.
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is on after installation, a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure is needed to sync the new BCM with the airbag system.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: To ensure proper brake light and traction control operation, a brake pedal position sensor recalibration may be necessary.
Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician for guidance specific to your vehicle.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does a Body Control Module do on my GMC Acadia?
The BCM is a computer that manages and controls your vehicle’s body electronics. This includes power windows, locks, lights, wipers, the security system, and the instrument cluster, among other things.
Why do you need my VIN?
Your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) allows us to program the BCM with the exact software and settings for your Acadia’s specific options and features. This ensures the module works correctly right out of the box and communicates properly with your vehicle’s other computers.
Is this part difficult to install?
The physical installation is typically straightforward, involving unplugging the old module and plugging in the new one. On the Acadia, it’s usually located under the driver’s side of the dashboard. However, post-installation procedures like an airbag sync or brake pedal relearn may require a professional diagnostic tool.
Will this fix my parasitic battery drain?
A faulty BCM is a very common cause of parasitic battery drain in these vehicles. It can fail to go into ‘sleep’ mode, keeping other systems active and draining the battery overnight. Replacing it with this programmed module often resolves that issue.
Is there a core charge for my old part?
No, there is no core charge. You can keep your original module without needing to send it back to us.
