Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Body Control Module do on my Express Van?
The BCM acts as the central computer for your van’s body electronics. It controls non-engine related functions like power windows, door locks, interior and exterior lighting, the security system, and the instrument panel gauges.
Where do I provide my vehicle’s VIN?
After you complete your purchase, you will need to send us your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). We cannot ship your order until we receive this information, as it is required for programming the module correctly.
Will I need to do any programming myself?
No. This module comes pre-flashed to your VIN. However, depending on your specific vehicle, certain post-installation procedures like a Brake Pedal Position Relearn or an Airbag System Sync may be required using a professional-grade scan tool.
Is this part difficult to install?
The BCM is typically located under the dash. While the physical replacement is straightforward for someone with mechanical experience, some post-installation steps may require specialized tools. We always recommend consulting a factory service manual or a qualified technician.
What if my airbag light is on after installation?
If the airbag warning light is on, a procedure called ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ must be performed with a compatible diagnostic tool. This syncs the new BCM with your vehicle’s existing airbag system.
How does the one-year replacement warranty work?
If the module fails within one year of the purchase date, we will provide a replacement unit. Please contact us to initiate the process. This coverage provides confidence in your repair.
