Frequently Asked Questions
What does a Body Control Module do on my Escalade?
The BCM is a computer that manages and controls a wide range of your vehicle’s non-engine-related functions. This includes power windows, door locks, the alarm system, interior and exterior lighting, wipers, and various other comfort and convenience features.
Is this BCM difficult to install?
The physical installation is typically straightforward, as the BCM is often located under the dash. Because we pre-program the module to your VIN, you eliminate the most complex step, which is the software setup. However, some vehicles may require a simple relearn procedure for the brake pedal position or airbag system, which may require a professional scan tool. Please refer to the post-installation procedure notes.
Do I need to send my old BCM back?
No. This BCM is sold without a core charge. You can keep or dispose of your original module, saving you the hassle and cost of a return shipment.
What is VIN programming and why is it important?
VIN programming involves loading your vehicle’s unique 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number and its specific factory options into the BCM. This is critical for ensuring the new module can communicate correctly with all other computers in your Escalade, preventing compatibility issues and ensuring all features work as intended.
What happens if my airbag light comes on after installation?
In some cases, the new BCM may need to be electronically introduced to the airbag system (SDM). If the airbag warning light is on after installation, a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure will need to be performed by a technician with a professional-grade diagnostic tool to sync the systems.
Will this fit other part numbers?
Yes, this module is a direct replacement for a long list of GM part numbers, including 15892622, 20815898, 22860591, and many others listed in the product details. It is designed to be a versatile solution for many GM trucks, vans, and SUVs from this era.
