Second Hand Nissan NP300 Body Control Module

Yes, the Nissan NP300 Navara does have a Body Control Module (BCM), which manages functions such as central locking, interior lighting, windows, and other electrical body systems. It is fitted across the NP300 generation, which covers the Navara produced from 2015 onwards, including the facelift models introduced around 2019. If you are unsure whether your specific variant has one, confirm with the breaker against your registration.

Both a 2016 and a 2018 NP300 Navara fall within the pre-facelift phase of the NP300 generation (2015 to approximately 2019), so there is a reasonable chance of compatibility. However, BCMs can be calibrated or coded to specific vehicles and variants, so an exact software or hardware match is not guaranteed just by year alone. Confirm with the breaker against both registrations before purchasing.

The NP300 Navara received a facelift around 2019, and electrical system changes at that point mean a pre-facelift BCM may not be directly compatible with a post-facelift vehicle. The facelift boundary is a genuine fitment risk for electronic control modules, as connectors, software versions, and supported features can differ. You should confirm compatibility with the breaker against both registrations rather than assume it will interchange across that boundary.

Trim level can matter for a BCM because higher trims such as Tekna may have additional features — for instance, more advanced keyless entry or extra comfort functions — that require a different BCM specification compared to a Visia or Acenta. Unlike parts such as alloy wheels where trim is largely irrelevant, a BCM is directly tied to the electrical features fitted to the vehicle. Confirm the exact specification of the donor vehicle's BCM with the breaker against your registration to make sure the features match your car.

In most cases the engine type does not fundamentally change the BCM on the NP300 Navara, as the BCM primarily handles body electrical functions rather than engine management. However, differences between single-turbo and twin-turbo engine variants, or between manual and automatic gearboxes, can sometimes influence BCM calibration or compatibility. It is worth checking with the breaker against your registration to rule out any variant-specific differences before buying.

The drivetrain layout can affect BCM compatibility on the NP300 Navara, because a four-wheel-drive model has additional systems such as the transfer case controls that the BCM may need to support, which a two-wheel-drive BCM would not be programmed for. Fitting a 2WD BCM to a 4WD vehicle, or vice versa, could result in missing functions or warning lights. Confirm the drivetrain specification of the donor vehicle with the breaker against your registration before proceeding.
