Frequently Asked Questions
What does a Body Control Module do on a Silverado 2500?
The BCM acts as the central computer for your truck’s body-related electronic accessories. It manages non-engine functions like power windows, interior and exterior lighting, door locks, the security system, climate controls, and wipers.
Is this BCM difficult to install?
Installation is generally straightforward for someone with basic mechanical skills. The BCM is typically located under the driver’s side dashboard, near the steering column. The process usually takes less than 15 minutes as it involves unplugging the old module and plugging in the new one. No special programming is needed from you.
Will this fix my airbag warning light?
This module can resolve airbag lights caused by a faulty BCM (like DTC B1001). However, after installation, if the light remains on, a simple ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure may be required. This is a quick sync that can be performed with a professional-grade scan tool and does not require a dealership visit.
Do I need to send my old BCM back?
No. We do not require a core return for this part. You can keep your old module, which simplifies the process and saves you the hassle and cost of return shipping.
