Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly does the Body Control Module do?
The BCM acts as the central computer for your truck’s body electronics. It manages non-engine-related functions like power windows, locks, interior and exterior lighting, wipers, the security system, and the HVAC controls. When it fails, these systems can become erratic.
Is this installation really plug-and-play?
Yes. Because we program the module to your specific VIN before shipping, it is ready for installation right out of the box. Simply disconnect the battery, remove the old BCM (typically located under the steering column), plug in the new one, and reconnect the battery. No further programming is required for standard operation.
What if my airbag light is on after installation?
In some cases, particularly if you have an active airbag code like B1001, a post-installation procedure called “Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM” may be needed. This requires a professional-grade scan tool and syncs the new BCM with the airbag system. This is the only potential extra step.
Do I need to send my old part back?
No, there is no core charge for this part. You can keep your old module, which saves you the time and hassle of return shipping.
How do I know this is the correct part for my truck?
This module, 25844480, is the correct fit for a 2011 GMC Sierra Denali 1500 BCM and is interchangeable with many other part numbers listed in the description. The best way to confirm is to match the part number on your original module. If you are unsure, please contact us with your VIN, and we will verify compatibility for you.
