Restore Your Vehicle’s Electrical System with a Plug-and-Play BCM
Are you battling frustrating and unpredictable electrical problems in your GM truck or SUV? Flickering lights, malfunctioning power windows, a security system that acts up, or dashboard warning lights that won’t go away are common signs of a failing Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM is the central command center for your vehicle’s body electronics, and when it fails, it can create a cascade of confusing issues. This replacement Body Control Module, part number 22737275, is the definitive solution to restore your vehicle’s functionality and peace of mind.
The Critical Role of the Body Control Module
Think of the BCM as the brain for all the non-engine related functions in your vehicle. It manages and communicates with dozens of systems to ensure your comfort, convenience, and safety. When it starts to degrade, the signals get crossed, leading to the erratic behavior you’re likely experiencing. Replacing it isn’t just about fixing one problem; it’s about restoring the entire integrated electronic network of your vehicle.
Common Symptoms of a Failing BCM
- ✔ Intermittent or non-working power windows, door locks, and mirrors.
- ✔ Interior or exterior lights that flicker, stay on, or don’t turn on at all.
- ✔ Erratic behavior from the radio or infotainment system.
- ✔ False alarms from the security system or issues with keyless entry.
- ✔ Unexplained battery drain that leaves you with a dead vehicle.
- ✔ Warning lights on the dashboard, such as for the airbag or traction control system.
- ✔ Wipers or climate control functions that operate incorrectly.
Why Choose a Pre-Programmed 2012-2014 Yukon Body Control Module?
The biggest hurdle in replacing a modern vehicle module is the need for expensive, dealer-specific programming. Our solution eliminates this step entirely. When you order from us, you provide your vehicle’s VIN (Vehicle Identification Number). Our technicians then flash this BCM with the latest GM software specific to your exact vehicle configuration. This means the module arrives at your door ready for installation. You can avoid the hassle and expense of towing your vehicle to a dealership and paying their high programming fees. This is the most efficient and cost-effective way to get your truck or SUV back on the road and working correctly.
Installation and Post-Install Notes
This BCM is typically located under the steering column on the driver’s side. While the physical replacement is straightforward for a DIYer with basic tools, please be aware of potential post-installation procedures. Depending on your specific model and options, a couple of quick recalibrations may be needed:
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is illuminated after installation, a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure is required. This syncs the new BCM with the airbag system and must be done with a professional-grade scan tool.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: In some cases, a brake pedal position sensor relearn may be necessary to ensure correct brake light and traction control operation. This is also performed with a capable scan tool.
Disclaimer: Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician for vehicle-specific guidance. While our programming simplifies the process, every vehicle can have unique requirements.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to get this BCM programmed by a dealer?
No. The main benefit of our service is that we program the module to your vehicle’s specific VIN before we ship it to you. It arrives ready to be installed, saving you a trip to the dealership.
What is a VIN and why do you need it?
The VIN is your vehicle’s unique 17-digit identification number. It contains information about the manufacturer, model, year, and specific options your vehicle was built with. We use this to load the exact correct software onto your BCM for a perfect match.
Where is the BCM located on my 2013 GMC Sierra?
On most 2012-2014 GM trucks and SUVs like the Sierra, Yukon, and Silverado, the BCM is located under the driver’s side of the dashboard, near the steering column.
Is this part compatible with part number 22846365?
Yes, this BCM is a direct replacement for part numbers 22737275, 22846365, and 22846364. We will program it to function correctly for your vehicle’s original specifications.
What happens if my airbag light comes on after I install it?
This can happen occasionally. It means the new BCM needs to be electronically introduced to the airbag module (SDM). A mechanic with a professional diagnostic tool will need to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure to sync the systems and turn off the light.
Do I have to send my old BCM back?
No, there is no core charge for this part. You can keep your original module.
