Frequently Asked Questions
What does a Body Control Module do?
The BCM acts as the central computer for your vehicle’s body electronics. It manages non-engine related functions like power windows, door locks, the security system, interior and exterior lighting, wipers, and the HVAC system, ensuring they all work together correctly.
Is this BCM truly plug-and-play?
Yes. Because we pre-program the module to your vehicle’s specific VIN, it is ready for installation upon arrival. This allows it to communicate correctly with your vehicle’s other systems without requiring any additional dealer-level programming.
Why might the airbag light be on after installation?
In some cases, the new BCM needs to be electronically introduced to the airbag system’s computer (SDM). This is a simple security procedure called ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ that can be performed by a technician with an advanced diagnostic scan tool. It is only necessary if the airbag light appears after the BCM is installed.
Do I need to send my old BCM back?
No. There is no core charge for this part. You can keep your original module without any extra fees or hassle, simplifying the repair process for you.
Will this fix my specific electrical problem?
This module is the solution for a wide range of issues listed in the symptoms section. If your vehicle is experiencing multiple, seemingly unrelated electrical faults, a failing BCM is the most likely cause. This programmed 15116066 body control module is designed to be a comprehensive fix.
What tools are needed for installation?
Installation typically requires only basic hand tools, such as a socket set or nut driver, to remove the lower dash panel for access. The module itself is held in by clips or small bolts and has simple plug-in electrical connectors. Always remember to disconnect the vehicle’s battery before starting the installation.
