Your car's Body Control Module, also known as the body computer (BCM), is crucial to the daily auxiliary operations of your INFINITI Altima 2013-2018. But it's important to note that the control module doesn't supervise or control your engine or transmission.
Rather, this essential component helps to adjust your cabin air, unlock and lock your car, turn on and off your lights, maintain the anti-theft system, and so much more. Long story short, when your Body Control Module stops working the way it should, the impairment of these minor, daily conveniences can feel like a huge issue.
Your INFINITI's Body Control Module can stop functioning due to a series of factors, like exposure to extreme heat, shock caused by major accidents, short circuiting, excessive vibrations and shaking of your car, and even mechanical wear.
When your Body Control Module goes bad, it will likely cause some electrical systems in your INFINITI to malfunction. Various warning lights on your dashboard might light up and continue to remain illuminated, which could lead to a parasitic drain on your car battery. Your anti-theft system's function may become erratic or stop operating properly. The parts your Body Control Module controls could stop working completely, and you will likely have issues with starting your INFINITI. If you begin to notice the symptoms of a damaged control module, have a replacement immediately.
Now that you're aware of how important the BCM is, should you service a bad one yourself? Because this component controls so many of the auxiliary features within your vehicle, we suggest leaving this job to a professional technician. Purchase a new Body Control Module at INFINITI Parts and find your local authorized INFINITI service center to have it replaced properly.
To get one that's made for your vehicle, order genuine OEM components from INFINITI Parts for a control module that is sure to fit your vehicle.
