From Our Tech Bench: A Pro Tip for BCM Replacement
Before you condemn your old BCM, it’s wise to perform a simple check. A poor ground connection—specifically the main BCM ground located on the A-pillar near the driver’s left foot—can cause many of the same symptoms as a failed module. When installing your new VIN Programmed GM BCM 25790508, take an extra five minutes to inspect, clean, and tighten this ground connection. A clean, solid ground is the foundation of a healthy electrical system and ensures your new part performs reliably for years to come.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does a Body Control Module do?
The BCM acts as the central computer for your vehicle’s body electronics. It controls non-engine related functions like your lights, power windows and locks, climate control system, security system, and wipers, ensuring they all work together correctly.
Is this module difficult to install?
Installation is typically very straightforward. The BCM is usually located under the driver’s side dashboard near the steering column. The physical replacement often takes less than 10 minutes. Because our module is pre-programmed, no special computer relearns are required for most vehicles, making it a great job for a confident DIYer.
Why is VIN programming so important?
VIN programming loads your vehicle’s specific software and options into the BCM. Without it, the module won’t know how to operate your truck’s features correctly, leading to incompatibility issues and persistent errors. Our service handles this for you, ensuring a seamless, plug-and-play experience.
What if my airbag light stays on after installation?
In some cases, particularly if DTC B1001 was present, the new BCM needs to be electronically introduced to the airbag system’s computer (SDM). This is a simple procedure called ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ that can be performed with a professional-grade scan tool. It’s not a reprogramming, but a quick security sync between modules.
Do I need to send my old BCM back?
No. We do not require a core return for this part. You can keep or dispose of your old module, saving you the time and hassle of shipping it back.
How do I know this will fit my vehicle?
This module is a direct replacement for the part numbers listed and fits a wide range of 2007-2013 GM trucks and SUVs. Please refer to the detailed fitment list on this page or contact us with your VIN, and we will be happy to confirm compatibility for you.
