Frequently Asked Questions
What does a Body Control Module do on a GMC Acadia?
The BCM acts as the brain for your vehicle’s body electronics. It controls non-engine related functions like power windows, locks, lights, wipers, security system, and climate controls.
Do I need to get this BCM programmed by a dealer?
No. We handle the programming for you before we ship the part. Simply provide us with your vehicle’s VIN number during checkout or after your purchase, and we will flash the module with the latest GM software specific to your vehicle.
Is this part difficult to install?
The physical installation is typically straightforward, involving disconnecting the battery and swapping the old module with the new one. The BCM is usually located under the dash on the driver’s side. However, some models may require the simple relearn procedures mentioned above.
What happens if my airbag light comes on after I install it?
This is a common security measure. The new BCM needs to be electronically ‘introduced’ to the airbag’s computer (SDM). A qualified technician with a professional 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, there is no core charge for this part. You can keep your original module.
