Restore Full Electronic Control to Your GM Vehicle
Are you battling frustrating and unpredictable electrical problems in your Cadillac, Chevy, or GMC? Issues like flickering lights, malfunctioning power windows and locks, or a dashboard that seems to have a mind of its own often point to a single culprit: a failing Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM acts as the central nervous system for your vehicle’s comfort and convenience features. When it fails, it can cause a cascade of confusing and disruptive symptoms. This programmed BCM, part number 13506936, is the definitive solution to restore your vehicle’s electronic systems to perfect working order.
From the Diagnostic Bay
We recently had a 2015 Cadillac CTS V-Sport in the shop with a textbook case of BCM failure. The owner reported the interior lights would stay on, the key fob worked intermittently, and the car would occasionally refuse to start, displaying a ‘Service Theft Deterrent System’ message. The dealership quoted him over $1200 for a new module and the required programming. Instead, he used our cloning service. We received his original BCM, transferred all the critical data to this replacement unit, and shipped it back the next day. He plugged it in himself in under an hour, and every single problem was resolved. No towing, no dealership programming fees, just a simple, effective fix.
Symptoms of a Failing Body Control Module
- ✔ Erratic or non-functional interior and exterior lights (headlights, taillights, dome lights).
- ✔ Power windows, door locks, or mirrors not working correctly or at all.
- ✔ Intermittent issues with the key fob, remote start, or push-to-start system.
- ✔ False alarms from the security system or a ‘Service Theft Deterrent System’ warning.
- ✔ Instrument cluster gauges behaving erratically or warning lights staying on.
- ✔ Wipers or radio turning on and off by themselves.
- ✔ Communication errors with other modules when scanned with a diagnostic tool.
Why Choose Our Programmed 2015-2016 ATS BCM Service?
Replacing a modern BCM isn’t as simple as swapping parts. The module is programmed with your vehicle’s specific Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), security information, and optional features. A new module from the dealer requires expensive, specialized tools to program it to your car. Our professional cloning service bypasses this entire process. We extract the unique data from your original, failing BCM and flash it directly onto this replacement unit. The result is a module that is 100% plug-and-play, arriving at your door ready for immediate installation without any further programming.
Our Simple and Secure Process:
- ✔ Place Your Order: Complete your purchase through our secure checkout.
- ✔ Receive Instructions: We will contact you via email or phone with detailed instructions on how to safely remove and ship your original BCM to our facility.
- ✔ We Handle the Tech: Once we receive your module, our technicians will perform a full data transfer to the replacement unit, typically within one business day.
- ✔ Get Your Part Back Fast: We ship your newly programmed BCM back to you with tracking information, ready for a straightforward installation.
Important Post-Installation Information
While our goal is a seamless plug-and-play experience, some vehicle systems may require a simple recalibration after the BCM is installed. Please be aware of the following potential procedures:
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is illuminated after installation, a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure is needed. This syncs the airbag system with the BCM and can be performed with a professional-grade scan tool. This is only required if the light is on.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: On some models, a brake pedal position sensor recalibration might be necessary to ensure correct brake light operation and traction control performance.
Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician for vehicle-specific guidance.

Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly does the Body Control Module (BCM) do?
The BCM is a computer that manages and controls many of your vehicle’s non-engine related electronic functions. This includes power windows, locks, lights, wipers, the security system, and keyless entry, ensuring all these convenience features work together seamlessly.
Why is this cloning service better than buying a new BCM?
Our cloning service makes the replacement process truly plug-and-play. A new BCM from a dealer is a blank slate and requires expensive, specialized programming to link it to your car’s VIN and security systems. Our service transfers all that critical data beforehand, saving you hundreds of dollars in dealership fees and eliminating the need for towing your vehicle.
How long does the programming service take once you receive my module?
We pride ourselves on a fast turnaround. In most cases, we program and ship the replacement BCM back to you within 24-48 hours of receiving your original module.
Do I need to do any programming myself after I install it?
No, the core programming is complete. The module will be ready to install and function immediately. In some cases, as noted above, a simple relearn procedure for the airbag or brake pedal sensor may be needed, which can be done with a high-end scan tool.
Is it difficult to remove my original BCM?
The BCM location varies by model (e.g., under the steering column, on the firewall, in a kick panel). Removal typically involves disconnecting the battery and unplugging a few electrical connectors. Most DIYers with basic tools can perform the removal in under an hour. We provide guidance after your purchase.
