Frequently Asked Questions
What does a Body Control Module do?
The BCM is a computer in your vehicle that controls and monitors many of the non-engine related electronic functions. This includes power windows, door locks, interior and exterior lighting, wipers, the security system, and HVAC controls.
Is this module difficult to install?
Installation is typically very straightforward. The BCM is usually located under the driver’s side dashboard near the steering column. Because this module comes pre-programmed to your VIN, the physical replacement is a simple plug-and-play process that often takes less than 15 minutes.
Will I need to go to the dealer after installing this?
No. Our VIN programming service ensures the module is ready to function in your vehicle upon installation, saving you a trip to the dealership and avoiding their programming fees.
How do I know if my BCM is the problem?
Common signs include multiple, unrelated electrical issues happening at once, such as power locks failing at the same time as the dome light. Diagnostic trouble codes related to body functions or communication errors are also strong indicators. If you’re experiencing a cluster of the symptoms listed above, the BCM is the most likely cause.
What if my airbag light is on after installation?
In some cases, particularly if you have an active airbag code like B1001, a final sync procedure called ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ may be required. This is a simple step that can be performed with a professional-grade scan tool and does not require dealer-specific software.
Does this part have a core charge?
No, there is no core charge for this 25844479 Body Control Module. You can keep your old part without needing to send it back.
