Expert Insight: The Power of VIN Programming
Many owners don’t realize that a BCM is not a simple swap. Each module is coded to the specific options and security systems of the vehicle it came from. Installing a used, non-programmed module will almost always result in a no-start condition or malfunctioning features. Our VIN-programming service is the most critical step in this repair. We take the guesswork out of the process, ensuring the module communicates perfectly with your car’s other computers, just like the original one did.
Post-Installation Procedures
While this module is designed for a straightforward installation, some vehicles may require one or more of the following procedures to be completed with a professional scan tool to ensure all systems are perfectly synchronized:
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is illuminated after installation, a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure is necessary to sync the systems.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: A recalibration of the brake pedal position sensor may be required for proper brake light and traction control operation.
Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician for vehicle-specific guidance.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Body Control Module (BCM)?
The BCM is a central computer in your vehicle that controls a wide variety of electronic accessories not related to the engine. This includes power windows, locks, lights, wipers, the security system, and more. When it fails, it can cause many different and seemingly unrelated electrical problems.
Do I really need to provide my VIN?
Yes, absolutely. The VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) is essential for us to program the BCM correctly. This programming ensures the module works with your car’s specific features, options, and security system. Without it, the module will not function properly and may prevent your car from starting.
Is this a difficult part to install?
The physical installation is typically straightforward, involving the removal of a few trim panels and unplugging the old module to plug in the new one. The location varies by model (e.g., behind the dash or under the steering column). However, some vehicles may require post-installation procedures with a scan tool, as noted above. We recommend consulting a service manual or professional if you are not comfortable with automotive electrical work.
Will this fix my ‘Service Theft System’ message?
A failing BCM is a very common cause of false anti-theft system warnings and messages. While other issues can cause this, replacing a faulty BCM with our pre-programmed unit is often the correct solution to resolve these security system errors.
Is there a core charge for my old part?
No, we do not require you to send your old BCM back. There is no core charge associated with this purchase, saving you the time and expense of a return shipment.
