Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly does the BCM do?
The Body Control Module (BCM) is a computer in your vehicle that controls and monitors a wide variety of non-engine-related functions. This includes power windows, door locks, the security system, interior and exterior lighting, and dashboard warning lights.
Is this unit truly plug-and-play?
Yes, for the most part. Because we program it to your VIN, it does not require initial setup at a dealership. However, as noted in the post-installation procedures, some vehicles may require an ‘Airbag System Sync’ or ‘Brake Pedal Position Relearn’ using a professional scan tool if specific warning lights appear after installation.
How do I provide my VIN number?
After you complete your purchase, you will need to send us your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). We will provide clear instructions on how to do this. We cannot ship your part until we receive and validate your VIN.
Will this fix my specific problem?
This BCM will correct issues directly caused by a failing module. While the symptoms listed are very common, we always recommend proper vehicle diagnostics to confirm the BCM is the source of the problem before ordering. This Programmed 2001 Sierra 3500 BCM is the solution for a confirmed faulty module.
What tools are needed for installation?
Installation typically requires basic hand tools, such as a socket set and screwdrivers, to access the BCM located under the driver’s side dashboard. The process is straightforward for someone with moderate DIY mechanical experience.
What if the airbag light comes on after I install it?
If the airbag warning light is on after installation, it means the new BCM needs to be synced with the airbag system’s computer (SDM). This requires a professional-grade scan tool to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure. This is a quick procedure for any qualified repair shop.
