What does the BCM do on a GM Truck?
The bcm is what receives the ignition switch signal and sends out the signals to all other modules to activate. So if the bcm is dead and sends no signal to anything, the truck would not start. Which means the bcm is what is preventing my truck from starting – according to my repair manual.

Can a truck start without a BCM module?
Again on an 07 this would be true but not on an 03. The truck will not start without the bcm because of the security but it does not send out the on signal for the other modules like a new one would. Believe me, I’ve been all over this truck checking things and testing. At this point my next step is to replace the bcm.
How is the BCM calibrated to the VIN?
The BCM is the main controller in the serial buss inside your truck and must be calibrated to the options in your vehicle as well as the VIN. (Imagine a computer with just a base operating system, the calibration personalizes it with your vehicles options and VIN.) With a VIN the dealer can calibrate the BCM to your vehicle’s options.

You canNOT just install any used BCM with compatible service number.

A programmed replacement BCM needs to be relinked to the vehicle.
