Expert Insight from the Shop Floor

Ensuring your grounds are clean and tight is a 5-minute check that can save you a massive headache and ensure your new BCM performs flawlessly for years to come.”

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a Body Control Module do on my Silverado?
The BCM acts as the central computer for your truck’s body electronics. It manages non-engine related functions like your power windows, door locks, security system, interior and exterior lighting, wipers, and HVAC system, ensuring they all work together correctly.
Is this module difficult to install?
Installation is straightforward for most DIYers. The BCM is typically located under the driver’s side dashboard near the steering column. The process usually takes less than 15 minutes. Since we program it to your VIN, no special tools are needed for programming.
Why is VIN programming so important?
VIN programming loads your truck’s specific software and configurations onto the module. This ensures it communicates perfectly with your vehicle’s other computers and that all features (like remote start or power-folding mirrors) work as they did from the factory. Without it, the module will not function correctly.
What if my airbag light stays on after installation?
In some cases, particularly if DTC B1001 was present, the new BCM needs to be synced with the airbag system’s computer (SDM). This requires a professional scan tool to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure. This is a simple sync, not a full reprogramming.
Do I need to send my old part back?
No. We do not require a core return for this Body Control Module. You can keep or dispose of your original part, making the process simpler and more convenient for you.
