Frequently Asked Questions
What does a Body Control Module do?
The Body Control Module, or BCM, is a computer in your vehicle that controls and monitors a wide range of electronic accessories not related to the engine. This includes power windows, door locks, the security system, interior and exterior lighting, climate controls, and wipers.
Is this BCM truly ‘plug-and-play’?
Yes. We pre-program the module to your vehicle’s VIN before it ships. This means it’s ready for installation right out of the box without requiring additional programming from a dealership, making the repair process much faster and more straightforward.
Do I need to send my old part back?
No, there is no core charge for this part. You can keep your old module, eliminating the hassle and expense of shipping it back.
What if my airbag light stays on after installation?
In some cases, particularly if you have an active airbag code like B1001, an additional procedure called ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ may be required. This is a simple sync that can be performed with a professional-grade scan tool to clear the light.
