End Your Vehicle’s Electrical Frustrations
Are you battling bizarre electrical problems in your GM vehicle? Flickering lights that have a mind of their own, power windows that refuse to budge, a security system that randomly goes off, or worse—a vehicle that won’t start?

This module is the answer to restoring your vehicle’s electronic systems to perfect working order.

Expert Insight: The Brain of Your Vehicle’s Comfort & Security
Think of the BCM as the central nervous system for all the non-engine related electronics in your vehicle. It’s the computer that manages everything from the chime that reminds you to put on your seatbelt to the complex logic that controls the anti-theft system. When it fails, communication between these components breaks down, leading to the chaotic symptoms you’re likely experiencing. A junkyard module won’t work because it’s coded to another vehicle’s options and security key. Our programmed GM 20864768 BCM is different—it’s prepared specifically for your vehicle, ensuring all systems communicate correctly from the moment you install it.
Post-Installation Requirements
While this module is programmed for your vehicle, some GM models may require one or two simple relearn procedures after installation to fully sync with other vehicle systems. These are standard procedures for this type of repair.
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is on after installation, a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure may be needed with a professional scan tool.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: In some cases, a brake pedal position sensor recalibration might be necessary for proper brake light and traction control function.
Please note: Specific procedures can vary. Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician for guidance. Getting this programmed GM 20864768 BCM is the critical first step to getting your vehicle back on the road.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a BCM and what does it do?
The Body Control Module (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, door locks, interior and exterior lighting, the security system, and the instrument cluster.
How do I provide my VIN number?
After you complete your purchase, you will need to send us your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). You can typically find this on your vehicle’s registration, insurance card, or on a plate on the driver’s side dashboard visible through the windshield.
Is this part difficult to install?
The physical installation is typically straightforward for someone with basic mechanical skills. The BCM is usually located under the dashboard. The main benefit of our service is that the complex programming is already done, making the process much simpler than a traditional replacement.
Will I need special tools for the post-installation procedures?
Some relearn procedures, like the airbag system sync, may require a professional-grade bidirectional scan tool. Many local repair shops can perform these relearns for a small fee if needed. The brake pedal position relearn can sometimes be done without special tools, depending on the model.
Why is a programmed module better than a used one from a junkyard?
A used BCM from another vehicle is programmed with that vehicle’s specific options and security information. It will not work correctly in your car and will likely prevent it from starting. Our modules are programmed specifically for YOUR vehicle’s VIN, ensuring a correct and functional replacement.
