Is Your Cadillac SRX Experiencing Strange Electrical Issues?
The Body Control Module, or BCM, is the central nervous system of your vehicle’s electronic features. It manages a wide array of functions that you use every day, from power windows and locks to interior lighting, security systems, and even communication between other critical modules. When the BCM begins to fail, it can create a cascade of confusing and frustrating problems that can be difficult to diagnose. Simply swapping a BCM from another vehicle won’t work, as these units are VIN-specific and contain security data unique to your car. This is where our specialized programming service comes in.

Expert Pro Tip
Before condemning your BCM, always perform a thorough check of your vehicle’s battery and grounding system. A weak battery, corroded terminals, or a faulty ground strap can cause voltage drops that mimic the symptoms of a failing BCM. A simple check can save you significant time and money in diagnostics.
Symptoms of a Failing Body Control Module
A faulty BCM can manifest in numerous ways. If you’re noticing any of the following issues, your BCM may be the culprit:
- ✔ Power windows, locks, or mirrors operating intermittently or not at all.
- ✔ Interior or exterior lights (headlights, taillights, dome lights) staying on, flickering, or not turning on.
- ✔ The vehicle’s security system or alarm acting erratically or preventing the car from starting.
- ✔ Inaccurate or non-functional gauges on the instrument cluster.
- ✔ Radio or infotainment system malfunctions.
- ✔ Key fob not being recognized or working sporadically.
- ✔ Warning lights appearing on the dash without a clear cause.

Installation and Post-Install Procedures
Once you receive the programmed module, installation is as simple as removing the old unit and plugging in the new one. However, in some GM vehicles, certain systems may require a recalibration or sync procedure after the BCM is replaced. Please be aware of the following potential requirements:
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is illuminated after installation, a professional scan tool must be used to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure. This syncs the new BCM with the airbag system.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: To ensure correct brake light operation and traction control function, a brake pedal position sensor recalibration might be necessary.
