Can a dead battery cause body electrical codes?

Yes, low battery voltage is a very common cause of body electrical codes. When voltage drops, body control modules can store false codes. Always check battery health first before replacing components.

How much does a body control module replacement cost?

BCM replacement typically costs $300-$800 including programming. However, many body electrical codes are caused by simple wiring or fuse issues that cost much less to repair.

B0063

Fog Lamp Circuit - Right Front

Lowelectrical

Overview

The B0063 code indicates that the body control module has detected a fog lamp circuit - right front condition. This relates to the vehicle's body electrical systems, which control comfort, convenience, and safety features. When this code is stored, the affected system or component may not operate correctly, potentially impacting safety or comfort features.

Symptoms

Headlights or taillights not functioning
Windshield wipers not operating or stuck
HVAC blower not blowing air
Power window inoperative on one or more doors

Common Causes

Faulty SRS/airbag control module
Low battery voltage or failing alternator
Damaged clock spring in steering column
Failed HVAC actuator motor

Diagnosis Steps

1Connect an OBD-II scanner and read all stored body control module trouble codes
2Inspect the affected circuit fuse and relay; replace if blown or faulty
3Check the wiring harness and connectors for damage, corrosion, or loose pins
4Test circuit voltage and ground with a multimeter at the affected component
5Verify battery voltage is within specification (12.4V+ engine off)

Frequently Asked Questions

Driving with the airbag warning light on means the SRS system may not deploy in a crash, which significantly increases injury risk. Have the system inspected as soon as possible.
