Your Body Control Module, commonly called the body computer (BCM), is essential to the everyday auxiliary functions of your vehicle. Note: The control module does not power your vehicle's engine or transmission system.
Instead, this component gives you the ability to adjust the A/C in your cabin, lock and unlock your vehicle, switch on and off your lights, maintain the anti-theft system, and a whole lot more. Long story short, when this component stops operating the way it should, the impairment of these subtle, everyday auxiliary functions can feel like a major problem.
Your Nissan's BCM can become damaged due to a series of factors, like exposure to extreme heat, shock from major accidents, short circuiting, extreme vibrations and shaking of your car, as well as general wear and tear.
Once a Body Control Module goes bad, it can cause some electrical systems in your Nissan to go haywire. Various warning lights on your dashboard might turn on and stay on, which may cause a dead car battery. The anti-theft system on your vehicle may become unstable and stop doing its job properly. The components your Body Control Module controls could stop functioning altogether, and you might even have issues with starting your car. If you experience the effects of a bad BCM, get a new one installed immediately.
Now that you understand how essential the control module can be, should you replace and install a damaged or poorly functioning one yourself? Because this component supervises and controls so many of the auxiliary features within the body of your Nissan, it's best to leave this replacement to the professionals. Purchase a genuine OEM Body Control Module online and then find your nearest accredited Nissan service center location to have it replaced correctly.
To get the right fit for your Nissan shop genuine OEM parts from Nissan Parts for one that's made to fit your vehicle.
