This is a central processing unit of the car that governs the functioning of many systems. It is a part of an elaborate system of ECUs (Electronic Control Units) in the car that includes Engine Control Module (ECM), Brake Control Module (BCM), Suspension Control Module (SCM), and more. A modern car can have more than 80 ECUs, which is a lot of computing power. Here, let us focus on the Body Control Module. Body control module reset is done when you experience problems with any of the systems that it controls. A malfunction in these systems can be a sign that calls for a body control module reset.
