Is Your Vehicle Plagued by Bizarre Electrical Problems?
If you’re dealing with flickering lights, power windows and locks that have a mind of their own, a security system that won’t cooperate, or even a car that refuses to start, a failing Body Control Module (BCM) is the most likely culprit.

An Expert’s Note on VIN Programming
Many people wonder why VIN programming is so critical for a BCM. Think of the BCM as the vehicle’s general manager for all non-engine electronics. Your car was built with a specific set of options (known as RPOs)—things like a sunroof, specific radio type, or automatic climate control. The VIN tells the BCM exactly which features your car has. Installing a non-programmed module is like hiring a manager who doesn’t know what employees they have or what the business does. It simply won’t work. Our pre-programming service ensures your new Programmed 20921435 Body Control Module knows its job from the moment it’s installed.
Don’t let electrical gremlins dictate your driving experience. By choosing our Programmed 20921435 Body Control Module, you’re not just buying a part; you’re investing in a reliable, long-term solution that brings back the peace of mind you deserve. After purchase, simply provide us with your VIN, and we’ll handle the rest, shipping you a part that’s ready to restore your vehicle to its former self.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a BCM and what does it do?
The Body Control Module (BCM) is a computer in your vehicle that controls and monitors a wide variety of electronic accessories not related to the engine. This includes power windows, door locks, interior and exterior lighting, the alarm system, instrument panel functions, and more.
Why do you need my VIN?
Your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) is essential because it allows us to program the BCM with the specific software and settings for your exact vehicle model and options package. This step is crucial for the module to function correctly and is a service that typically costs hundreds of dollars at a dealership.
Is this part difficult to install?
The physical installation is generally straightforward for someone with moderate mechanical skill, as it involves removing panels and unplugging the old unit to plug in the new one. Because we pre-program it, you avoid the most complex part of the job. However, some vehicles may require simple post-installation relearn procedures, as noted in the listing.
What if my airbag light comes on after installation?
In some cases, the new BCM may need to be synced with the airbag system (SDM). If the airbag light is on after installation, a professional scan tool is needed to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure. This is a standard process for many GM vehicles when a BCM is replaced.
Will this BCM fix my check engine light?
Generally, no. The BCM controls body electronics, while the check engine light is typically related to issues detected by the Engine Control Module (ECM) or Powertrain Control Module (PCM). A failing BCM can sometimes cause communication errors that trigger other warnings, but it does not directly manage engine or emissions systems.
