Restore Your Vehicle’s Electrical System
Are you battling frustrating electrical gremlins in your GM vehicle? Flickering lights, malfunctioning power windows, a security system that acts up, or even a car that refuses to start can all point to a single culprit: a failing Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM is the central command center for your vehicle’s body electronics, and when it fails, it can cause a wide range of confusing and intermittent issues. This Programmed GM Body Control Module is the definitive solution to restore full functionality and peace of mind.
Common Symptoms of a Failing BCM
- ✔ Erratic power windows, door locks, or mirrors.
- ✔ Interior or exterior lights that won’t turn on or off.
- ✔ The security or anti-theft system light is on, preventing the car from starting.
- ✔ Horn honking unexpectedly or not working at all.
- ✔ Instrument cluster gauges behaving erratically or not working.
- ✔ HVAC (Air Conditioning and Heat) controls are unresponsive.
- ✔ Communication errors with other vehicle modules (DTC codes U0140, etc.).
The Simple, Reliable Solution
Don’t let a faulty BCM keep you off the road. We make the repair process straightforward. Unlike buying a used module that requires expensive dealer-level tools for programming, this Programmed GM Body Control Module arrives at your door ready for installation. We use the VIN you provide during checkout to flash the module with the latest GM software updates specific to your vehicle’s options and configuration. This ensures compatibility and proper function right out of the box, saving you time, money, and the headache of coordinating a visit to a repair shop for programming.
After Installation
While this module is designed for a simple installation, some vehicles may require a one-time relearn procedure for certain systems to sync with the new BCM. This is a normal part of the process.
- Airbag System Sync: If your airbag warning light is illuminated after installation, a technician will need to perform a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure with a capable scan tool.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: On some models, a brake pedal position sensor relearn may be needed to ensure correct brake light and traction control operation.

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, such as power windows, locks, lights, wipers, security system, and HVAC controls.
Is this part truly plug-and-play?
Yes, for most vehicles. Because we program it to your VIN before shipping, it eliminates the need for dealer programming. In some cases, simple relearn procedures for the airbag or brake systems may be required after installation, which can be done with a high-end scan tool.
How do I provide my VIN?
After you complete your purchase, you will need to send us your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). We cannot program and ship your module without it. You can typically find your VIN on your vehicle’s dashboard (visible through the windshield) or on your insurance/registration documents.
What happens if my airbag light is on after installation?
This is a common occurrence. It simply means the new BCM needs to be electronically introduced to the vehicle’s airbag system (SDM). A repair shop with a professional diagnostic tool can perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure to sync the modules and turn off the light.
Do I need to return my old BCM?
No, there is no core charge for this part. You can keep your original module.
