Frequently Asked Questions
What does a Body Control Module (BCM) do?
The BCM is a computer in your vehicle that controls and monitors many of the electronic accessories not related to the engine. This includes power windows, door locks, the security system, interior and exterior lighting, wipers, and the HVAC system.
Is this BCM truly plug-and-play?
Yes, it is. We pre-program the module using your vehicle’s VIN, so it’s ready for installation upon arrival. In most cases, no further steps are needed. However, some vehicles may require a simple ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure with a scan tool if the airbag light is on after install, but this is not always necessary.
How can I be sure my BCM is the problem?
While a professional diagnosis is always best, a failing BCM is the most common cause for a combination of the symptoms listed above, such as simultaneous issues with windows, locks, and interior lights. If multiple, unrelated electronic functions are acting erratically, the BCM is the primary suspect.
Where is the BCM located on my 2003-2006 Suburban?
On the Chevrolet Suburban and most other compatible GM trucks and SUVs from this era, the BCM is typically located under the driver’s side of the dashboard, near the steering column. It is usually a black plastic box with several large electrical connectors.
Do I need to send my old part back?
No. We do not require you to return your original module. There is no core charge associated with this part, making the process faster and more convenient for you.
What if my airbag light is on after installation?
If the airbag warning light illuminates after you install the new BCM, it means the BCM and the airbag’s Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM) need to be electronically synced. A mechanic with a professional-grade scan tool can perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure to resolve this.
