Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Body Control Module (BCM)?
The BCM is a computer in your vehicle responsible for monitoring and controlling various electronic accessories. This includes power windows, locks, mirrors, interior/exterior lighting, security systems, and wipers. When it fails, these systems can become erratic or stop working altogether.
How do I provide my VIN for programming?
After you complete your purchase, simply send us a message with your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN. We cannot ship your order until we receive this information, as the programming is essential for the part to work in your car.
Is this a difficult part to install?
The physical installation is typically straightforward, involving unplugging the old module and plugging in the new one. The BCM is often located under the dashboard or in the center console. However, we always recommend consulting a service manual for your specific model or having a qualified mechanic perform the installation.
Will I need to perform any procedures after installation?
In some cases, yes. Depending on your vehicle’s configuration, you may need a professional scan tool to perform a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure if the airbag light comes on, or a ‘Brake Pedal Position Relearn’. These are simple sync procedures for a qualified technician.
Is this the correct BCM for my vehicle?
This module replaces a long list of GM part numbers. Please check the fitment list on this page and verify that your original part number is included.
