Is Your Cadillac Experiencing Strange Electrical Problems?
If your 2015-2016 Cadillac ATS, or another compatible GM vehicle, is suffering from bizarre and frustrating electrical issues, a failing Body Control Module (BCM) is often the culprit. The BCM is the central nervous system for your vehicle’s electronics, managing everything from your power windows and door locks to the interior lights and security system. When it begins to fail, it can create a cascade of problems that are difficult to diagnose and can seem completely unrelated.
Common Symptoms of a Failing BCM
- ✔ Erratic or non-functional interior and exterior lights (headlights, dome lights, dash lights).
- ✔ Power windows, door locks, or mirrors operating intermittently or not at all.
- ✔ The vehicle’s security system engaging randomly or preventing the car from starting.
- ✔ Inaccurate or dead gauges on the instrument cluster.
- ✔ Communication errors with other vehicle modules, triggering various warning lights.
- ✔ Complete no-start or no-crank condition, even with a good battery.
- ✔ Parasitic battery drain that kills your battery overnight.
Your Trusted Solution for a 2015-2016 ATS BCM
Forget expensive dealership visits and complex programming procedures. Our professional cloning service provides you with a true plug-and-play solution. We take the vital, vehicle-specific information—like the VIN, key data, and option configurations—from your original BCM and flash it directly onto a replacement unit. When you receive the module back from us, it’s ready for immediate installation with no additional programming required.
How Our Simple Cloning Service Works:
- ✔ Place Your Order: Purchase this service for your 2015-2016 ATS BCM or other compatible model.
- ✔ We Contact You: We will reach out with clear, simple instructions on how to remove and ship your original BCM to our facility.
- ✔ We Program Your Part: Once we receive your module, our technicians will expertly transfer all the necessary data to the replacement BCM, typically within 1-2 business days.
Post-Installation Information
While our goal is a seamless installation, some GM vehicles may require minor post-install procedures. Please be aware of the following:
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is illuminated after installation, a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure may be needed. This is a simple sync that can be performed with a professional-grade scan tool.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: On some models, a brake pedal position sensor recalibration might be necessary to ensure all brake-related systems (like traction control) function correctly.
Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician for vehicle-specific guidance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I need to send you my original BCM?
Your original BCM contains the unique VIN, security information, and electronic settings for your specific vehicle. By cloning this data to the replacement unit, we create a true plug-and-play part that avoids the need for expensive and complicated dealership programming.
Is this a guaranteed fix for my car’s electrical problems?
This service corrects issues directly caused by a faulty BCM. While the symptoms listed are common for BCM failure, we always recommend a proper diagnosis by a qualified mechanic to confirm the BCM is the root cause before purchasing.
How long does the programming service take?
Once we receive your original module, our technicians typically complete the cloning process within 1-2 business days. We then ship the programmed replacement module back to you promptly.
What if my original BCM is completely dead or not communicating?
In many cases, even if the BCM is not functioning in the vehicle, we can still extract the necessary data from the chip. Please contact us before ordering if your module is severely damaged (e.g., by fire or water) to discuss options.
Do I need any special tools to install the BCM?
Installation typically requires basic hand tools to access the module’s location (e.g., under the dash or on the firewall). No special programming tools are needed. However, as mentioned, a professional scan tool might be required for post-installation procedures like an airbag sync if the light appears.
