Frequently Asked Questions
What is a BCM and what does it do?
The Body Control Module (BCM) is a computer in your vehicle responsible for managing a wide array of non-engine-related functions. This includes power windows, door locks, interior and exterior lighting, the anti-theft system, wipers, and more. It acts as a central hub for these systems.
Is this BCM truly “plug and play”?
Because we program it to your vehicle’s VIN, it is as close to plug-and-play as possible and will not require a trip to the dealer. However, depending on your specific model and options, certain minor “relearn” procedures, such as for the Brake Pedal Position Sensor or Airbag System, may need to be performed with a capable scan tool 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 cannot ship your part until we receive this information, as the programming is specific to your exact vehicle.
What if my airbag light comes on after installation?
If the airbag light is on after installing the new BCM, it means the BCM and the airbag’s SDM module need to be synchronized. A professional-grade scan tool is required to perform the “Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM” procedure. This is a standard security step for many GM vehicles.
Do I need to return my old BCM?
No. This product comes with no core charge. You can keep, discard, or recycle your original module at your convenience without any extra fees or hassle.
