Restore Full Electrical Function to Your GM Truck or SUV
Is your 2012-2014 GMC Yukon, Chevy Silverado, Tahoe, or other GM vehicle plagued by bizarre electrical problems? Flickering lights, malfunctioning power windows, intermittent wipers, or a dashboard that seems to have a mind of its own are all classic signs of a failing Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM is the central nervous system for your vehicle’s body electronics, and when it starts to fail, it can create a cascade of frustrating and unpredictable issues. Don’t let electrical gremlins keep you off the road. This pre-programmed replacement BCM is the definitive solution to restore your vehicle’s stability and functionality.
The Plug-and-Play Solution for a Complex Problem
Replacing a BCM has traditionally been a costly and inconvenient process, requiring a trip to the dealership for expensive programming. We eliminate that hassle. When you order from us, we flash this module with the latest GM software updates, specifically programmed to your vehicle’s unique Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). This means the module arrives at your door ready for installation, saving you time, money, and the headache of coordinating with a dealer. It’s a direct-fit replacement for part numbers 22846365, 22737275, and 22846364, ensuring broad compatibility across a wide range of GM trucks and SUVs.
Common Symptoms of a Failing BCM
- ✔ Intermittent or non-functional power windows, door locks, and mirrors.
- ✔ Erratic behavior from interior or exterior lights (flickering, staying on, or not turning on).
- ✔ Malfunctioning radio or infotainment system.
- ✔ False warnings or error messages on the instrument cluster (e.g., “Service StabiliTrak,” “Service Airbag”).
- ✔ Inconsistent operation of windshield wipers and washers.
- ✔ Issues with the security system, such as the alarm randomly going off or the vehicle not starting.
- ✔ Problems with the HVAC (heating and air conditioning) controls.
Your Solution: A Pre-Programmed 2012-2014 Yukon BCM
This isn’t just a part; it’s a complete service designed to get your vehicle back to factory-spec performance. Located under the steering column, the BCM is a central component that requires precise software to function correctly with your vehicle’s other electronic modules. Our VIN-programming service ensures seamless communication between the new BCM and your vehicle’s existing systems, such as the Engine Control Module (ECM) and Powertrain Control Module (PCM). This critical step prevents compatibility conflicts that can arise from installing a generic, unprogrammed module.
Installation and Post-Install Procedures
Physical installation is straightforward for a seasoned DIYer or any professional technician. After the new module is installed, a couple of simple relearn or synchronization procedures may be necessary depending on your specific model and options. These are not defects but standard steps for integrating a new module.
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light illuminates after installation, a “Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM” procedure is required. This syncs the new BCM with the airbag system’s Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM) and must be done with a professional-grade scan tool.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: Some vehicles may require a brake pedal position sensor recalibration to ensure proper operation of brake lights and the traction control system.
Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician for detailed instructions specific to your vehicle.
Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly does the Body Control Module do?
The BCM acts as the central computer for your vehicle’s body electronics. It controls non-engine-related functions like power windows, locks, lights, wipers, security systems, and the instrument cluster.
Is this BCM truly plug-and-play?
Yes, it’s as close to plug-and-play as possible. We pre-program it to your VIN, so it’s ready to be installed without needing a trip to the dealer for initial programming. However, as with any module replacement, some minor post-installation relearn procedures may be required.
How do I provide my vehicle’s VIN?
After you complete your purchase, you will need to send us your 17-digit VIN. We cannot program and ship the module without it. You can typically find your VIN on your vehicle’s dashboard (visible through the windshield), on the driver’s side door jamb sticker, or on your insurance and registration documents.
What if the airbag light is on after I install the BCM?
This is a common occurrence and is not a defect. It simply means the new BCM needs to be electronically introduced to the airbag module (SDM). A technician with a professional scan tool can perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure to resolve this.
Do I need to send my old BCM back?
No, there is no core charge for this part. You can keep your original module.
