Expert Insight: Why a Pre-Programmed BCM is the Smart Choice
From our 20+ years of experience, we’ve seen countless drivers frustrated by BCM failure. These modules can fail from age, voltage spikes, or moisture intrusion. Many people consider a used part from a salvage yard, but that’s a risky bet. A used BCM is still programmed to the donor car and will not work in yours without being wiped and reprogrammed by a dealer—a service that can cost hundreds. Our solution provides a quality-tested module that is already programmed specifically for your car. It’s the most efficient and cost-effective path to getting your 2006-2013 Impala Body Control Module replaced and your vehicle back to 100%.
Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly does a Body Control Module do?
The BCM is a computer that controls and monitors many of your vehicle’s non-engine-related functions. This includes power windows, door locks, the security system, interior and exterior lighting, wipers, and even the climate control system. It acts as a central hub for these body electronics.
Is this part difficult to install?
For someone with basic mechanical skills, the installation is typically straightforward. The BCM is usually located under the dashboard on the driver’s side. The process involves disconnecting the battery, removing a few trim panels, and swapping the module. Because our unit comes pre-programmed, no special computer tools are needed for the initial installation.
What information do you need from me after I order?
After you complete your purchase, you will need to provide us with your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN (Vehicle Identification Number). We use this to load the correct software and settings onto the BCM, ensuring it works perfectly with your car’s specific options and features.
Do I need to send my old BCM back?
No, there is no core charge for this part. You can keep your original module.
What if my airbag light is on after installation?
In some cases, the new BCM may need to be electronically introduced to the airbag system. If the airbag warning light is on after you install the module, a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure will need to be performed by a professional with a capable diagnostic tool to sync the systems.
Does this fit other vehicles besides the Impala?
Yes, this 2006-2013 Impala Body Control Module is compatible with a wide range of GM vehicles. Please check the extensive fitment list on this page and match your original part number to ensure it is the correct component for your car or truck.
