Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly does the Body Control Module do?
The BCM acts as the central hub for your truck’s body electronics. It controls non-engine related functions like power windows, door locks, interior and exterior lighting, wipers, the security system, and the HVAC system. When it fails, these systems can become erratic.
Is this module really ‘plug-and-play’?
Yes. Because we program it to your vehicle’s VIN number before it ships, it’s ready for installation without any additional programming. In most cases, it’s a simple swap. However, as noted in the installation tips, some vehicles may require a special procedure if the airbag light is on.
What if my airbag light stays on after installation?
If the airbag warning light is on after installing the new BCM, a procedure called ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ needs to be performed. This requires a professional-grade scan tool and syncs the new BCM with the airbag system. This is a common step for this vehicle platform.
Do I need to send my old part back?
No. We do not require a core return for this part. You can keep your old module, which saves you the time and hassle of shipping it back.
How can I be sure the BCM is my problem?
While the symptoms listed are strong indicators, the only way to be 100% certain is with a proper diagnosis using a professional scan tool. However, if you are experiencing multiple, unrelated electrical failures in systems controlled by the BCM, there is a very high probability the module is the root cause.
