Are you dealing with bizarre and frustrating electrical problems in your GM vehicle? Flickering lights, malfunctioning power windows, random warning chimes, or a security system that won’t cooperate are common signs of a failing Body Control Module (BCM).

Post-Installation Procedures
While this module is programmed for your vehicle, some models may require simple relearn procedures after installation. These can often be done with a high-quality bidirectional scan tool. Please be aware of the following possibilities:
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is on, a “Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM” procedure may be needed to sync the systems.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: A recalibration might be necessary for proper brake light and traction control function.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to send you my old BCM?
No. There is no core charge for this part. You can keep or dispose of your original module as you see fit.
How do I provide my VIN for programming?
After you complete your purchase, you will need to send us your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). We cannot ship the part until we receive your VIN, as the programming is specific to your vehicle’s factory options.
Is this a difficult part to install?
The physical installation is typically straightforward, often located under the dash. However, because it’s a sensitive electronic component, we recommend installation by someone with automotive repair experience. The main benefit we provide is eliminating the need for post-installation software programming at a dealership.
What happens if the airbag light comes on after installation?
This can happen on some models. It simply means the new BCM needs to be electronically introduced to the airbag system’s computer (SDM). A procedure called “Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM” can be performed with a professional-grade scan tool to resolve this.
Will this fix my check engine light?
A BCM typically controls body electronics, not engine functions. While a faulty BCM can cause communication errors that may trigger other warnings, it is not usually the direct cause of a check engine light related to emissions or engine performance. The Engine Control Module (ECM) is responsible for those functions.
