Is Your 2010 LaCrosse, Allure, or Camaro Experiencing Bizarre Electrical Issues?
If you’re dealing with flickering lights, malfunctioning power windows, a haywire security system, or random warning lights on your dash, the culprit is often a failing Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM is the central command center for your vehicle’s body electronics, managing everything from your interior lights and power locks to your climate control and security system. When it starts to fail, it can create a cascade of frustrating and seemingly unrelated problems that can be difficult to diagnose.
Replacing a BCM isn’t as simple as swapping the part. A new module from the dealership requires expensive and time-consuming programming to sync it with your vehicle’s specific VIN and security information. Our solution bypasses this dealership dependency entirely.
The Plug-and-Play Solution: A Pre-Programmed BCM
We offer a straightforward and reliable programming service for your replacement 2010 LaCrosse Body Control Module. The process is simple: you purchase this BCM, and we will provide instructions for you to ship your original, faulty BCM to our facility. Our expert technicians will then extract the critical vehicle-specific data from your original module and flash it onto this replacement unit. We then ship the fully programmed BCM back to you, ready for a true plug-and-play installation. This service saves you hundreds of dollars in dealership programming fees and gets your vehicle back to perfect working order quickly.
Common Symptoms of a Failing BCM
- ✔ Power windows, locks, or mirrors operating intermittently or not at all.
- ✔ Interior or exterior lights flickering, staying on, or refusing to turn on.
- ✔ Vehicle security system malfunctioning, causing no-start conditions.
- ✔ Unresponsive climate control (HVAC) system.
- ✔ Random warning lights appearing on the instrument cluster.
- ✔ Horn honking unexpectedly or not working at all.
- ✔ Communication error codes (U-codes) stored in the system.
Understanding the 2010 LaCrosse Body Control Module and Our Service
This replacement BCM is the key to restoring your vehicle’s functionality. By cloning the data from your original unit, we ensure that the replacement module is a perfect match for your car’s existing systems, including the anti-theft and keyless entry features. There is no need for additional calibration or programming on your end, though some simple relearn procedures may be necessary after installation.
Installation and Post-Install Procedures
Once you receive the programmed module, installation is straightforward. It is typically located in the driver’s or passenger’s side kick panel. After reconnecting the battery and installing the BCM, you may need to perform one or more of the following procedures:
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is illuminated after installation, a professional scan tool is required to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure. This syncs the new BCM with the airbag system.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: In some cases, a brake pedal position sensor recalibration may be needed to ensure proper function of the brake lights and traction control system.
Disclaimer: Vehicle systems can vary. We always recommend consulting a factory service manual or a qualified technician for specific instructions related to your vehicle.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does this programming service work?
After you place your order, we will contact you with instructions to ship your original BCM to us. Once we receive it, our technicians will transfer its data to the replacement BCM and ship the newly programmed unit back to you, typically within 1-2 business days.
Is this BCM compatible with my vehicle?
This module is compatible with the 2010 Buick LaCrosse, 2010 Buick Allure, and 2010 Chevy Camaro. Please verify that your original module has one of the following part numbers: 13577268, 13500385, or 13578421.
Will I need to do any programming myself?
No. The module you receive will be fully programmed with your vehicle’s data, making it ready for installation. The only potential follow-up steps are minor relearn procedures like the airbag system sync, which may be required in some cases.
What happens if the airbag light comes on after installation?
This indicates that the BCM needs to be synchronized with the airbag control module (SDM). A procedure called ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ must be performed with a professional-grade diagnostic tool to resolve this.
Is there a core charge for my old BCM?
No, there is no core charge. We require your original module solely for the data transfer service. You will not receive your original module back.
