Post-Installation Notes: While this module is programmed for your vehicle, some systems may require a relearn procedure after installation. If your airbag light is on, a professional scan tool is needed to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a BCM and what does it do?
The Body Control Module (BCM) is a computer in your vehicle that manages and controls many of the non-engine related electronic functions. This includes power windows, locks, lights, wipers, security system, and climate controls.
Is this BCM plug-and-play?
Almost! We program it to your vehicle’s VIN before shipping, so it’s ready to be installed without needing a trip to the dealer for initial programming. However, as with any BCM replacement, some simple relearn procedures for systems like the airbag or brake pedal position sensor may be required after installation.
How do I provide my 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 module without it.
What if my airbag light is on after I install the new BCM?
If the airbag warning light illuminates, it means the new BCM needs to be synced with the airbag’s computer (SDM). This requires a professional scan tool to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure to clear the light.
Do I need to return my old BCM?
No. This purchase comes with no core charge. You can keep your original module.
