Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Body Control Module do in my Suburban?
The BCM acts as the central computer for your vehicle’s body electronics. It controls non-engine related functions like power windows, locks, lights, security system, wipers, and HVAC controls.
Is this part truly ‘plug and play’?
Yes, this module comes programmed to your vehicle’s VIN, making it as close to ‘plug and play’ as possible. In some cases, simple ‘relearn’ procedures for systems like the airbag or brake sensor may be required after installation, which is standard for this type of repair.
How do I provide my vehicle’s VIN?
After you complete your purchase, you will be prompted to provide your 17-digit VIN. We cannot program and ship the module without it. Please double-check your VIN for accuracy to ensure correct programming.
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 the airbag light is on after I install the BCM?
If the airbag light illuminates after installation, it means the new BCM needs to be synced with the airbag’s SDM module. This requires a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure using a professional-grade scan tool.
This part fits many vehicles. How do I know it’s right for mine?
This module is a direct replacement for the many part numbers listed. The key is our VIN-specific programming, which configures the module to work perfectly with your 2010 Suburban’s exact options and features.
