Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to send my old BCM back?
No. This Body Control Module is sold without a core charge. You can keep your original part without any additional fees or return processes.
Is this BCM truly plug-and-play?
Yes, it comes programmed to your VIN for a straightforward installation. However, in some vehicles, certain systems like the airbag (SRS) or brake pedal position sensor may require a simple relearn procedure with a compatible scan tool to sync with the new module. This is a standard industry procedure for BCM replacement.
How do I provide my VIN number?
After you complete your purchase, you will need to send us your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN. We cannot program and ship your BCM without it. Please double-check the VIN for accuracy to ensure perfect compatibility.
What if my airbag light is on after installation?
If the airbag light illuminates after installing the BCM, it means the module needs to be electronically introduced to the airbag system. A technician will need to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure with a professional-grade diagnostic tool to resolve this.
Will this fix a “Service Theft System” message?
Yes, in many cases. The BCM is integral to the vehicle’s anti-theft and security system. A malfunctioning BCM is a very common cause of these error messages and related starting issues.
