Product Details

Cardone’s remanufactured body control computer line focuses on correcting common failure points found in original modules. For this application, the BCM is used to manage body electronics such as power accessories, courtesy lighting, central locking, remote keyless entry, passive start and entry, tire pressure monitoring, and immobilizer-related functions. The module is built in Cardone’s Philadelphia manufacturing plant and is intended for vehicles that need a dependable replacement for the original body control module. Part number 73-9601 is also referenced under interchange number 10389601.

Common Problems This Module Can Address

• Inoperative power windows, locks, or other body accessories
• Courtesy lighting faults or intermittent interior light operation
• Remote keyless entry or central locking issues
• Immobilizer or anti-theft communication faults
• Body electronics communication problems between modules

Installation Notes

Verify connector style, terminal count, and vehicle application before installation. This module uses a snap-in mounting design and does not require programming or flash programming for installation on the listed applications. Follow the included instruction sheet and confirm all related electrical connections are secure before returning the vehicle to service. Because BCMs communicate with other vehicle modules, diagnosis should include the full body electrical system, not only the replacement unit.

Each Cardone remanufactured body control module is 100% computer tested after remanufacturing. The brand’s process includes reverse engineering of failed units to identify original design weaknesses, then correcting those issues during rebuild. This part is remanufactured and supplied with a module and instruction sheet.
