Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly does the Body Control Module do?
The BCM is a computer in your vehicle that manages and controls electronic accessories and systems that are not related to the engine. This includes power windows, power mirrors, air conditioning, interior lighting, central locking, and the anti-theft system.
How do I provide my vehicle’s VIN?
After you complete your purchase, simply send us a message with your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). We cannot program and ship your BCM without it. You can find your VIN on your vehicle’s registration, insurance card, or on the driver’s side dashboard viewable through the windshield.
Is this a difficult part to install?
For the Buick Lucerne, the BCM is typically located behind the right side of the dashboard. While the physical replacement is straightforward for someone with basic mechanical skills (disconnecting the battery, removing a few trim panels, and unplugging connectors), we always recommend consulting a service manual or a qualified technician. Our programming service handles the most complex part of the job.
What if my airbag light comes on after installation?
In some cases, the new BCM may need to be synchronized with the airbag system (SDM). This is a simple procedure called ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ that can be performed by a repair shop with a professional-grade scan tool. This is only necessary if the airbag light is illuminated after the BCM is installed.
Will any other procedures be needed after installation?
Depending on your specific vehicle, a Brake Pedal Position Sensor relearn procedure may be required. This ensures your brake lights and traction control system function correctly. As with all electronic repairs, specific needs can vary, so consulting a service manual is always best practice.
Does this fit other GM vehicles besides the Lucerne?
Yes, this versatile 2006-2011 Buick Lucerne Body Control Module also serves as a direct replacement for a wide variety of other GM vehicles, including the Cadillac DTS, Chevy Impala, GMC Acadia, and many more. The provided fitment list shows the extensive compatibility.
