Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly does the Body Control Module do?
The BCM is a computer in your vehicle that manages and controls a wide variety of electronic functions not related to the engine. This includes power windows, power mirrors, air conditioning, the anti-theft system, interior and exterior lighting, and remote keyless entry.
How do I provide my VIN for programming?
After you complete your purchase, simply send us a message with your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). We cannot ship your order until we receive your VIN, as the programming is essential for the module to work in your vehicle.
Will I need to do any additional programming myself?
No, the core programming is completed by us before shipping. However, in some vehicles, certain secondary systems may require a simple relearn procedure. For example, if your airbag light comes on, a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key’ procedure may be needed with a pro-level scan tool to sync the systems.
Is this part difficult to install?
The physical installation of a 2008-2010 Saturn VUE Body Control Module is typically straightforward for someone with moderate mechanical experience. It is located in the center dash area. The most important steps are to disconnect the battery before starting and to carefully transfer all electrical connectors to the new module.
Does this BCM fit vehicles other than the Saturn VUE?
Yes. This BCM is compatible with a very wide range of GM vehicles, including models of the Chevy Equinox, GMC Acadia, Chevy Impala, Cadillac DTS, and many more. Please check the detailed fitment list on this page to confirm compatibility with your specific vehicle.
