Is Your GM Vehicle Plagued by Electrical Gremlins?
Are you dealing with flickering lights, malfunctioning power windows, a security system that acts on its own, or random warning lights on your dash? These aren’t just annoyances; they are classic symptoms of a failing Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM is the central command center for your vehicle’s body electronics, and when it starts to fail, it can create a cascade of frustrating and unpredictable issues. Driving a vehicle with a faulty BCM can be unreliable and unsafe. This replacement module is the definitive solution to restore full functionality and peace of mind to your driving experience.

Symptoms of a Failing GM Body Control Module
A faulty BCM can manifest in numerous ways, often seeming like multiple unrelated problems. If you’re experiencing any of the following, your BCM is the likely culprit:
- ✔ Erratic or non-functional interior and exterior lights (headlights, taillights, dome lights).
- ✔ Power windows, door locks, or mirrors operating intermittently or not at all.
- ✔ The vehicle’s security system or keyless entry failing to work correctly.
- ✔ The horn honking randomly or not working when pressed.
- ✔ Wipers turning on by themselves or not responding to the switch.
- ✔ False warnings on the instrument cluster, such as ‘Service Airbag’ or ‘Service StabiliTrak’.
- ✔ A parasitic battery drain that leaves you with a dead battery overnight.
Plug-and-Play Installation and Post-Install Procedures
Installation is straightforward for anyone with basic mechanical skills. The BCM is typically located under the driver’s side dashboard. Once you’ve disconnected the battery, you simply unplug the electrical connectors from the old module, unbolt it, and install the new one in its place. Reconnect the connectors and the battery, and you’re nearly done.
In some cases, additional steps known as ‘relearn’ or ‘sync’ procedures may be necessary. These are simple electronic handshakes between the new BCM and other vehicle systems. Common procedures include:
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is illuminated after installation, a professional scan tool is needed to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure. This syncs the new BCM with the airbag system’s Supplemental Inflatable Restraint (SIR) module.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: To ensure proper brake light and traction control function, a brake pedal position sensor recalibration might be required. This can often be done with a capable diagnostic tool.
Please note: Specific procedures can vary by vehicle. Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician for guidance.

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 controls non-engine related functions like power windows, locks, lights, wipers, security systems, and more.
Do I need to have this module programmed?
No. We handle all the programming for you before shipment. Simply provide your vehicle’s VIN during checkout, and the module will arrive ready to install.
What happens if my airbag light is on after I install the BCM?
This indicates the new BCM needs to be electronically synced with the airbag system module (SDM). A procedure called ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ must be performed with a professional-grade scan tool to resolve this.
Is there a core charge or do I need to send my old part back?
There is absolutely no core charge. You can keep your old module, which saves you the time and expense of return shipping.
Where do I provide my VIN?
You can enter your 17-digit VIN in the designated field during the checkout process or send it to us via email with your order number. We cannot ship your part until we receive the VIN.
