Restore Full Electrical Function to Your Chevrolet Volt
Is your 2013 Chevrolet Volt suffering from strange and unpredictable electrical problems? Issues like flickering lights, malfunctioning power windows and locks, or random warning messages on the dash are often caused by a failing Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM acts as the central command center for your vehicle’s body electronics, and when it fails, it can create a host of frustrating problems. This replacement BCM, programmed specifically for your vehicle, is the definitive solution to get your car back in perfect working order.
Common Symptoms of a Failing BCM
- ✔ Erratic or non-functional power windows, door locks, or interior lighting.
- ✔ The security or anti-theft system acting up, potentially preventing the car from starting.
- ✔ Dashboard warning lights (like the airbag or brake light) illuminating for no apparent reason.
- ✔ Communication error codes (U-codes) stored in the vehicle’s diagnostic system.
- ✔ Intermittent electrical functions that seem to have no logical pattern or cause.
- ✔ Headlights, taillights, or turn signals not working correctly or staying on.
- ✔ Key fob functions (remote lock/unlock) failing to operate.

Installation and Post-Install Notes
The 2013 Volt BCM is located in the right-hand (passenger side) of the engine compartment. Always disconnect the vehicle’s battery before removing or installing any electronic module. After installation, while the module is plug-and-play, some vehicles may require one or two simple relearn procedures:
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is on after installation, a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure must be performed with a professional scan tool to sync the modules.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: A recalibration of the brake pedal position sensor may be necessary to ensure proper brake light and traction control functionality.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a BCM cloning service?
It’s a process where we transfer the vehicle-specific software and security data from your original Body Control Module to a replacement unit. This makes the new module plug-and-play, avoiding the need for dealership reprogramming.
How does the shipping process work?
After you place your order, we will provide you with detailed instructions to ship your original BCM to our facility. Once we complete the service, we ship the programmed replacement module back to you with tracking information.
Is this a true plug-and-play solution?
Yes. Because we clone your original data, the replacement BCM will be ready for installation right out of the box. In some cases, minor relearn procedures like for the brake pedal position sensor may be needed, which can often be done without special tools.
What if my original BCM is too damaged to be read?
In most cases, even with significant electrical failure, the core data is recoverable. If your module has severe physical or water damage, please contact us before ordering so we can discuss the options.
Will all my vehicle’s features and options work correctly?
Absolutely. The cloning process copies all the configuration data for your vehicle’s specific options, such as keyless entry, lighting packages, and security settings, ensuring everything works just as it did before.
Do I need to send my keys with the module?
No, you do not need to send your keys. The necessary security information is stored within the BCM itself, and our cloning process transfers this data directly.
