Frequently Asked Questions
What is a BCM and what does it do?
The Body Control Module (BCM) is a computer in your vehicle that controls and monitors a wide range of electronic accessories not related to the engine. This includes power windows, door locks, interior/exterior lighting, security systems, wipers, and the instrument cluster.
Is this really a plug-and-play part?
Yes. Because we program the module to your vehicle’s VIN before shipping, it is ready to be installed and function correctly. In some cases, simple post-installation procedures like an airbag system sync or brake pedal position relearn may be required, which can be done with a capable diagnostic tool.
How do I provide my VIN?
After you complete your purchase, you will need to send us your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN. We cannot ship your order until we receive this information, as it is essential for the programming process.
What if my airbag light comes on after installation?
This is a possibility. If the airbag warning light is on, it means the new BCM needs to be synced with the airbag system’s SDM (Sensing and Diagnostic Module). A ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure must be performed with a professional scan tool to resolve this.
Will this fit if my original part number is different?
Yes, this module is a direct replacement for a range of part numbers, including 15167329, 15194169, 15747545, 15136224, 15116065, 15198115, 15136876, and 10367689. As long as your vehicle is listed in the compatibility chart, this Programmed 15198115 BCM will work perfectly.
