Frequently Asked Questions
What does a Body Control Module (BCM) do?
The BCM is a computer that manages and controls many of your vehicle’s non-engine related electronic systems. This includes power windows, door locks, the security system, interior and exterior lighting, wipers, and the HVAC system.
Is this module truly plug-and-play?
Yes. We program the module with your vehicle’s VIN before it ships, so it’s ready to install right out of the box. In most cases, no further programming is required. However, some vehicles may require a simple post-install procedure like an SDM key sync if the airbag light appears, which can be done with a high-level scan tool.
Where is the BCM located on my vehicle?
On most compatible GM trucks and SUVs (like the Sierra, Silverado, and Tahoe), the BCM is located under the driver’s side dashboard, near the steering column. On Savana and Express vans, it is typically found in the center dash area.
Do I need to send my old BCM back?
No. There is no core charge for this part. You can keep or dispose of your original module, making the process hassle-free.
Will this fix my airbag light with code B1001?
A failing BCM is a very common cause of an airbag light with DTC B1001. Replacing it with this correctly programmed unit should resolve the code. If the light remains on after installation, a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure may be needed to sync the new BCM with the airbag system.
What tools do I need for installation?
Installation is straightforward and typically requires only basic hand tools, such as a socket set or screwdriver, to remove the lower dash panel for access. The entire process often takes less than 15 minutes.
