Restore Full Electrical Function to Your Vehicle
Are you experiencing a cascade of bizarre electrical issues in your Chevrolet Volt, Buick LaCrosse, or other compatible GM vehicle? From flickering lights and malfunctioning power windows to intermittent starting problems and false warning messages, a failing Body Control Module (BCM) can wreak havoc on your car’s systems. The BCM acts as the central nervous system for your vehicle’s body electronics, and when it fails, the symptoms can be confusing and frustrating. This isn’t just a simple fuse or relay; it’s the core component that manages everything from your interior lights and door locks to your security system and climate control.
Solving Issues with Your 2013 Volt Body Control Module
Replacing a modern BCM isn’t as simple as swapping parts. Each module is programmed with your vehicle’s unique VIN, security information, and specific options. Our professional cloning service eliminates the need for expensive dealership programming. You simply purchase this replacement module, send us your original BCM, and we handle the rest. We extract the critical data from your old unit and flash it directly onto this replacement. When you receive it back, it’s a true plug-and-play solution, ready for installation. This process ensures that your vehicle accepts the new module seamlessly, retaining all original keys and functionality without any additional steps.
Common Symptoms of a Failing BCM
- ✔ Intermittent or non-functional power windows, door locks, or mirrors.
- ✔ Headlights, taillights, or interior lights behaving erratically (staying on or not turning on).
- ✔ The security system engaging randomly, causing a no-start condition.
- ✔ Inaccurate or malfunctioning gauges on the instrument cluster.
- ✔ Problems with the heating and air conditioning controls.
- ✔ False warning lights appearing on the dashboard (e.g., airbag, ABS).
- ✔ Key fobs not working correctly or at all.
Installation and Post-Install Procedures
Once you receive your programmed module, installation is straightforward. However, on some vehicles, additional synchronization procedures may be necessary. Please be aware of the following:
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is illuminated after installation, a procedure called ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ must be performed with a professional scan tool. This syncs the new BCM with the airbag system’s Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM).
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: Some models may require a brake pedal position sensor recalibration to ensure the brake lights and traction control systems function correctly.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Body Control Module (BCM) do?
The BCM is a computer that controls and monitors many of your vehicle’s non-engine related electronic features, such as power windows, locks, lights, wipers, security system, and climate controls.
Why do I need to send you my original BCM?
Your original BCM contains vital, vehicle-specific data, including the VIN and security information for your keys. We transfer this data to the replacement module, making it a plug-and-play part and avoiding the need for expensive dealer reprogramming.
Is this part truly plug-and-play after your service?
Yes, in over 99% of cases. Once we program the module with your original data, you can simply install it and it will work. In rare cases, a simple relearn procedure, like for the airbag system, may be needed as outlined in the description.
How long does the programming service take?
We typically perform the cloning service and ship the replacement module back to you within 1-2 business days of receiving your original BCM.
Will this fit models other than the Chevy Volt?
Absolutely. This BCM is compatible with a wide range of GM vehicles, including the Buick LaCrosse, Cadillac SRX, Chevy Equinox, GMC Terrain, and more. Please check the extensive part number list in the description to confirm compatibility.
