Expert Insight: The Critical Role of VIN Programming
In modern GM vehicles like your Express van or Silverado truck, the BCM is the central hub for dozens of electronic functions. It communicates with other modules, like the airbag system (SDM) and powertrain controller (PCM). Simply installing a used, non-programmed BCM will result in system conflicts, warning lights, and features that still don’t work. Our VIN programming service writes your vehicle’s unique data directly to the 15137395 Body Control Module before it ships, ensuring all systems recognize each other and function together seamlessly, just as the factory intended.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does this Body Control Module do?
The BCM is essentially the brain for your vehicle’s body electronics. It controls non-engine related functions like your lights, power windows and locks, security system, wipers, and climate control fans, ensuring everything works on command.
Is this BCM truly ‘plug-and-play’?
Yes. Because we pre-program the module to your vehicle’s VIN, it eliminates the need for any additional programming with a dealership scan tool. In most cases, installation is as simple as disconnecting the battery, swapping the modules, and reconnecting the battery.
What if my airbag light is on after installation?
In some cases, the new BCM needs to be electronically introduced to the airbag’s Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM). This is a simple procedure called ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ that can be performed with a professional-grade scan tool to clear the light.
Do I need to return my old BCM?
No. There is no core charge for this 15137395 Body Control Module. You can keep your old part without any hassle or extra fees.
Where is the BCM located on my vehicle?
On most compatible models, including the Express and Savana vans, the BCM is located in the center dash area. On trucks and SUVs like the Silverado and Tahoe, it’s typically found under the steering column on the driver’s side.
