Frequently Asked Questions
What does a Body Control Module do on a 2007-2011 Silverado?
The BCM acts as the central computer for your truck’s body electronics. It controls non-engine related functions like power windows, door locks, interior and exterior lighting, the security system, wipers, and the HVAC climate control system.
Is this BCM difficult to install?
No, installation is typically very straightforward. The BCM is located under the driver’s side dashboard, near the steering column. In most cases, it can be swapped out in under 10 minutes with basic tools. Because we pre-program it to your VIN, no further computer setup is usually required.
Will I need to go to the dealership after installing this?
Our VIN programming process is designed to eliminate the need for a dealership visit. The module should work immediately upon installation. The only exception is a specific airbag system procedure, which may be required if the airbag light remains on.
What if my airbag light is still on after installation?
If the airbag warning light was on before or comes on after installation (often with code B1001), a procedure called ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ must be performed. This requires a professional-grade scan tool and syncs the new BCM with the airbag system. Many independent shops can perform this service.
Do I need to return my old BCM?
No, there is no core charge for this part. You can keep or dispose of your old module at your convenience.
How do I know this is the right part for my truck?
This 2007-2011 Silverado 1500 programmed BCM is a direct replacement for part number 25971916 and many others listed in the compatibility chart. The best way to ensure a perfect match is to provide your vehicle’s VIN when you place your order so we can program it correctly.
