Restore Full Functionality to Your Vehicle’s Electronics

The Body Control Module (BCM) is the central command center for your car’s body electronics, managing everything from power windows and locks to interior lighting, security systems, and communication between other modules. When it fails, it can cause a cascade of frustrating issues that can be difficult to diagnose. This listing is for a replacement BCM, complete with a programming service that makes installation a simple, plug-and-play process.

Post-Installation Checks
While our programming service makes this a plug-and-play part, some vehicle systems may require a simple relearn procedure after the new module is connected. This is standard for many electronic repairs. Potential procedures include:
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is illuminated after installation, a professional scan tool must be used to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure. This syncs the BCM with the airbag system.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: On some models, a brake pedal position sensor recalibration might be needed to ensure correct operation of the brake lights and stability control systems.
Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician for vehicle-specific guidance.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Body Control Module (BCM) do?
The BCM acts as the central computer for your vehicle’s body electronics. It controls non-engine related functions like power windows, locks, lights, wipers, security system, and more.

After you place your order, you ship your original BCM to us. We extract its unique data and program it into a replacement module. We then ship the programmed module back to you, ready for plug-and-play installation.
Will I need to visit a dealer for programming?
No. Our service completely eliminates the need for dealership programming. Because we transfer the data from your original module, the replacement unit will be recognized by your vehicle as the original.

We typically program and ship your replacement module within 1-2 business days of receiving your original BCM. Total turnaround time will depend on shipping speeds to and from our facility.
