Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Body Control Module (BCM) do?
The BCM is a computer that acts as the central hub for your vehicle’s body electronics. It controls non-engine related functions like power windows, locks, lights, security system, wipers, and dashboard gauges.
Why is VIN programming so important?
Programming the BCM with your van’s VIN allows it to correctly identify your vehicle’s specific options and security information. This ensures it can communicate properly with the Engine Control Module (ECM) and other computers, preventing compatibility issues and security system lockouts.
Is this module difficult to install?
The physical installation is typically straightforward for someone with moderate mechanical skill, often located under the dash. Since our module comes pre-programmed, you skip the most difficult step. However, some vehicles may require a simple relearn procedure for certain systems (like the brake pedal position sensor) after installation, which may require a professional scan tool.
How do I provide my VIN number?
After you complete your purchase, you will need to send us your 17-digit VIN. We cannot program and ship your module without it. Your VIN can be found on your vehicle’s driver-side dashboard (visible through the windshield) or on your registration and insurance documents.
What if my airbag light is on after installation?
In some cases, the new BCM may need to be synced with the airbag system’s computer (SDM). This is done with a professional scan tool using a procedure called ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ and will resolve the warning light.
Do I need to send my old BCM back?
No. This product has no core charge, which means you can keep your original module without any extra fees or hassle.
