Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly does the Body Control Module do on my Yukon XL?
The BCM acts as the central computer for most of your vehicle’s non-engine related electronics. It controls functions like your interior and exterior lights, power windows and locks, security system, wipers, and the HVAC (heating and air conditioning) system. When it fails, you experience a wide range of electrical problems.
Why is VIN programming so important?
Every vehicle has a unique set of options and features, which are all tied to its Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). Programming the BCM to your VIN ensures it knows exactly what equipment your Yukon has, allowing all systems to communicate and function as intended from the factory. This step is essential for a successful repair.
Is this part difficult to install?
The physical installation is typically straightforward for someone with basic mechanical skills. The BCM is usually located under the driver’s side dashboard near the steering column. The process generally takes less than 15 minutes. Because our module is pre-programmed, no complex computer work is needed after installation.
What if the airbag light stays on after I install the new BCM?
In some cases, particularly if you had an airbag code like B1001, the new BCM needs to be electronically introduced to the airbag system (SDM). This is a security feature. A professional scan tool is required to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ function. This is a simple procedure for any competent repair shop.
Do I need to return my old BCM?
No, there is no core charge for this part. You can keep your old module, which simplifies the process and saves you the hassle and expense of return shipping.
