Your Nissan's Body Control Module, commonly called the body computer (BCM), is crucial to the day-to-day auxiliary functions of your vehicle. But it's important to note that the module doesn't supervise or control your car's engine and transmission.
Instead, this component functions to adjust your cabin air, lock and unlock your Nissan, power up your lights, maintain the anti-theft system, and a whole lot more. In short, when this component stops operating correctly, the loss of these seemingly small, daily auxiliary functions can become a serious problem.
The Body Control Module can stop operating correctly due to a series of factors, including excessive heat exposure, shock caused by major accidents, short circuiting, extreme vibrating, shaking, and bumpiness of your car, and even heavy use.
Once a Body Control Module no longer functions correctly, it will likely cause a few systems in your vehicle to stop working properly. Various warning lights on your dashboard may come on and stay on, which may cause a drained car battery. Your anti-theft system's function could become inconsistent or stop operating properly. The auxiliary functions your Body Control Module controls might stop working completely, and you might even have a hard time starting your vehicle. If you notice the symptoms of a damaged BCM, have a new one installed immediately.
Now that you're aware of how important the control module can be for your vehicle, is it a good idea to replace a damaged or faulty one yourself? Because the Body Control Module maintains tons of auxiliary functions within your vehicle, we recommend leaving this work to a professional technician. Shop for a brand-new OEM Nissan Body Control Module online and find your local authorized Nissan service location to make sure it is replaced properly.
