- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: A recalibration might be needed to ensure proper brake light and traction control operation.
By purchasing this pre-programmed 2013-2016 Impala BCM replacement, you are taking the most critical and complex step out of the repair process, making the final steps simple for you or your mechanic.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does a Body Control Module (BCM) do?
The BCM is a computer that acts as the central command center for your vehicle’s body electronics. It controls non-engine related functions like power windows, locks, lights, security system, wipers, and more.
Is this module difficult to install?
The physical installation is typically straightforward, involving unplugging the old module and plugging in the new one. It’s often located under the driver’s side dashboard. The key benefit of our product is that the difficult electronic programming is already done for you.
Do I need to send my old BCM back?
No. This purchase comes with no core charge, so you can keep your original module without any extra fees or hassle.
What if my airbag light comes on after installation?
This can happen as the new BCM needs to be electronically introduced to the airbag system (SDM). A technician with a professional scan tool will need to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure to sync the modules and turn off the light.
How do I provide my Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)?
After you complete your purchase, you will need to send us your 17-digit VIN. We cannot program and ship your BCM without it. This ensures the module is a perfect match for your vehicle’s specific options and configuration.
Will this fit other vehicles besides the Impala?
Yes, this BCM is compatible with a wide range of GM vehicles, including the Cadillac CTS, GMC Acadia, Chevy Traverse, Buick Enclave, and Express/Savana vans. Please verify the part number (22820314 or 22915542) and check the compatibility list to ensure it fits your specific model and year.
