Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to provide my VIN number?
Yes. After you complete your purchase, you must provide us with your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). We cannot ship your order until we have programmed the module specifically for your car.
Is this BCM truly ‘plug and play’?
Our VIN programming handles the most critical step, making installation much simpler than with an unprogrammed unit. However, as with any advanced electronic component, some vehicles may require additional post-installation procedures, such as a Brake Pedal Position Relearn or an Airbag System Sync, which may require a professional scan tool.
What if my airbag light comes on after installation?
This is a known possibility. If the airbag warning light is on, a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure needs to be performed with a compatible high-level diagnostic tool. This syncs the new BCM with the airbag system and is a standard security procedure on many GM vehicles.
How do I confirm this is the right part for my car?
This 2008-2009 Pontiac G8 Body Control Module replaces a long list of original part numbers, including 20921436. Please check the extensive fitment list on this page or match the part number from your original BCM to ensure compatibility.
What exactly does the Body Control Module do?
The BCM is a computer that controls a wide variety of your vehicle’s electronic features. This includes power windows, power mirrors, power door locks, the alarm system, interior and exterior lighting, and even the windshield wipers. When it fails, it can cause many different and seemingly unrelated problems.
What is the warranty on this part?
This unit is backed by our one-year replacement warranty, giving you confidence in your repair.
