Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly does a Body Control Module do?
The Body Control Module, or BCM, acts as the central computer for your vehicle’s “body” electronics. It controls non-engine related functions like your power windows, door locks, interior and exterior lights, climate control (HVAC), security system, and wipers.
Why is VIN programming so important?
VIN programming loads your vehicle’s specific software and configurations onto the module. Without it, the BCM won’t know what options your truck has (e.g., power-folding mirrors, specific lighting packages) and will not function correctly. Our pre-programming service saves you a mandatory and costly trip to the dealership.
Is this difficult to install myself?
For most individuals with basic tools, installation is very straightforward. The BCM is typically located under the driver’s side dashboard near the steering column. The process usually involves disconnecting the battery, removing a few trim panels, and swapping the electrical connectors. It often takes less than 30 minutes.
My airbag light is on. Will this BCM fix it?
A faulty BCM can cause the airbag light to come on, often with code B1001. While this module will fix the root cause, an additional “Setup SDM Primary Key” procedure may be required using a professional scan tool after installation to sync the new BCM with the airbag system and turn off the light.
Do I need to send my old BCM back?
No. This part is sold without a core charge. You can keep, recycle, or dispose of your old module without any penalty, making the process faster and more convenient for you.
Is this compatible with other part numbers?
Yes, this module is a direct replacement for a wide range of interchangeable part numbers, including 25835966, 15943678, 25971917, 20939137, 22860591, and many others listed in the product details to ensure a perfect fit for your vehicle.
