Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Body Control Module (BCM)?
The BCM is a computer in your vehicle that controls and monitors a wide variety of non-engine-related functions. This includes power windows, door locks, interior and exterior lighting, the security system, wipers, and more. It acts as a central hub for these body electronics.
Why do you need my VIN number?
Your vehicle’s 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) contains specific information about its factory-installed options, security system, and powertrain. We use the VIN to program the BCM with the exact software and configuration for your specific car, ensuring all features work correctly after installation.
Is this module difficult to install?
For someone with moderate mechanical skill, the installation is straightforward. The BCM is typically located in the center dash area. The main challenge is accessing it. Once accessed, it involves disconnecting the battery and swapping electrical connectors. Since our module is pre-programmed, no special computer tools are needed for the initial setup.
What other procedures might be needed after installation?
In some cases, additional relearn procedures may be necessary. The most common are the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ if the airbag light is on, and a ‘Brake Pedal Position Relearn’. These procedures typically require a professional-grade scan tool to complete.
Will this fix my specific electrical problem?
This BCM is the direct solution for failures within the module itself, which cause the symptoms listed above. While it fixes a vast majority of these issues, you should always ensure your vehicle’s wiring and related components (like switches and motors) are in good condition. Proper diagnosis is key.
Does this part fit other vehicles besides the Saturn VUE?
Yes. This BCM is used across a wide array of GM vehicles from this era. Please review the detailed fitment list and cross-reference the part numbers provided to ensure it is the correct module for your specific make, model, and year.
