Without precise VIN programming, the car won’t recognize the new module, leading to a no-start condition or a dashboard full of warning lights.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a Body Control Module do?
The BCM is a computer that acts as the central hub for your vehicle’s body electronics. It controls non-engine related functions like power windows, locks, lights, wipers, security systems, and more, ensuring they all work together correctly.
Is this BCM difficult to install?
For someone with moderate mechanical experience, the physical installation is typically straightforward. It usually involves accessing the module (often under the dash), disconnecting the battery, swapping the electrical connectors, and mounting the new unit. Since our 2011-2013 Chevrolet Caprice Body Control Module comes pre-programmed, you skip the most difficult electronic setup step.
What happens after I place my order?
After you complete your purchase, you will need to provide us with your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN. Our technicians will use this VIN to flash the BCM with the correct factory software and vehicle-specific options before we ship it to you.
Will I need to do anything after installation?
In some cases, additional relearn or synchronization procedures may be required. For example, if the airbag light is on, an ‘SDM Primary Key Setup’ may be needed. A ‘Brake Pedal Position Relearn’ might also be necessary. These procedures require a professional-grade scan tool and are detailed in the vehicle’s service manual.
Does this part fit other GM vehicles?
Yes, this BCM is compatible with a wide range of GM vehicles, including models like the Impala, Acadia, various Express/Savana vans, and more. Please check the detailed fitment list on this page to confirm compatibility with your specific make, model, and year.
