Frequently Asked Questions
What does a Body Control Module (BCM) do?
The BCM acts as the central computer for your vehicle’s body electronics. It manages non-engine-related functions like your lights, power windows, door locks, security system, wipers, and climate controls, ensuring they all work together correctly.
Why is VIN programming so important?
VIN programming loads your vehicle’s specific software and settings onto the BCM. This ensures it communicates properly with the engine computer, transmission module, and other systems. Without it, the BCM won’t function correctly, and critical features may not work.
Is this module difficult to install?
No, installation is typically straightforward. The BCM is usually located under the steering column or in the center dash area. The process involves disconnecting the battery, unplugging the electrical connectors from the old module, removing it, and installing the new one. Most people can complete the job in under 15 minutes.
What if my airbag light is on after installation?
In some cases, the new BCM needs to be synced with the airbag system (SDM). If the airbag light stays on, a technician will need to perform a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure with a professional scan tool. This is a quick process that syncs the modules.
Will this fix my specific electrical problem?
This Programmed GM Body Control Module 15136877 is the direct solution for the symptoms listed, which are classic indicators of BCM failure. It resolves the root cause of these electrical issues, restoring your vehicle to proper working order.
Do I need to send my old part back?
