Restore Full Electrical Function to Your Vehicle
Are you experiencing bizarre electrical issues in your Pontiac G8 or other compatible GM vehicle? Flickering lights, malfunctioning power windows and locks, a security system that acts up, or warning lights that won’t go away are all classic signs of a failing Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM is the central nervous system for your car’s body electronics, and when it fails, it can cause a wide range of frustrating and difficult-to-diagnose problems. This genuine GM Body Control Module is the definitive solution to restore your vehicle’s performance and reliability.
Common Symptoms of a Failing BCM
- ✔ Erratic or non-functional interior and exterior lights.
- ✔ Power windows, door locks, or mirrors not working correctly.
- ✔ The security system or keyless entry fails or acts unpredictably.
- ✔ Unexplained battery drain when the vehicle is off.
- ✔ Warning lights on the dashboard, such as for the airbag or traction control system.
- ✔ Communication errors with other vehicle modules when scanned with a diagnostic tool.

Post-Installation Procedures
While this module is programmed for your vehicle, some models may require simple relearn procedures after installation to ensure all systems communicate correctly. These can often be done with a high-end scan tool.
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag light is illuminated 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: A brake pedal position sensor recalibration may be necessary for proper brake light and traction control operation.
Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician for vehicle-specific instructions.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does a Body Control Module (BCM) do?
The BCM is a computer that controls many of your vehicle’s non-engine related functions, such as power windows, locks, lights, security system, wipers, and more. It acts as a central hub for these electronic accessories.
Is this BCM ready to install when I receive it?
Yes! This module is fully programmed to the VIN you provide during checkout. It will have the latest GM software updates and will be configured for your vehicle’s specific options, making installation much simpler.
Do I need to send my old BCM back?
No, there is no core charge for this part. You can keep your original module.
What if my airbag light is on after I install the new BCM?
This is a common security feature. The new BCM needs to be synced with the airbag’s Supplemental Inflatable Restraint (SIR) module. This requires a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure using a professional-grade diagnostic tool.
How do I provide my vehicle’s VIN?
After you complete your purchase, you will need to send us your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). We cannot program and ship your part without it.
