Frequently Asked Questions
What is a BCM and what does it do?
The Body Control Module (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, the security system, interior and exterior lighting, wipers, and more. It acts as a central hub for these electronic systems.
Why is VIN programming so important?
Programming the BCM to your VIN is critical because it loads the specific software and settings for your vehicle’s unique features (like power seats, sunroof, specific lighting, etc.) and security information. Without correct programming, the module will not communicate properly with other computers in the vehicle, leading to system malfunctions or a no-start condition.
Is this a difficult part to install?
For someone with moderate DIY mechanical skill, the physical installation is typically straightforward. The BCM is usually located under the driver’s side dashboard. The main challenge is typically the programming, which we handle for you. However, please note that some vehicles may require additional electronic ‘relearn’ procedures after installation.
What if my airbag light comes on after installation?
As noted in our post-install procedures, if the airbag warning light is on, a simple sync procedure called ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ will need to be performed with a professional scan tool. This is a common step to ensure the new BCM and the airbag system are communicating correctly.
Do I need to return my old BCM?
No. This product has no core charge. You can keep, recycle, or dispose of your original module at your convenience, saving you time and the cost of return shipping.
How do I provide my VIN after purchase?
After you complete your purchase, you will receive instructions on how to send us your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). We must have this information to program your 2009-2012 Traverse Body Control Module before we can ship it.
