Are you battling frustrating electrical problems in your GM truck or van? Issues like flickering lights, malfunctioning power windows and locks, or a persistent security light are often symptoms of a failing Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM is the central command center for your vehicle’s body electronics, and when it fails, it can cause a wide range of confusing and intermittent problems. This replacement BCM, part number 15198115, is the reliable solution to restore full functionality to your vehicle.

We make the replacement process straightforward. Unlike a trip to the dealership, which involves high costs for the part and separate fees for programming, our service includes programming the module to your vehicle’s specific VIN before it ships. This means you receive a part that is ready for installation, saving you time, money, and hassle. Simply provide your VIN at checkout, and we’ll handle the rest, loading the latest GM software updates for optimal performance.

From the Diagnostic Bay
n
We had a 2005 Silverado 2500 come in with the classic ‘electrical gremlins.’ The dome lights would stay on, the radio presets would randomly clear, and the power locks worked only when they wanted to. The owner had already replaced the battery and checked fuses with no luck. After a quick scan, we saw multiple communication codes pointing to the BCM. Instead of a costly dealer visit, we installed one of our VIN-programmed modules. The installation was simple, and upon startup, all the strange issues were gone. The customer was back on the road the same day, avoiding a multi-day dealership stay and a much larger bill.

Installation and Post-Install Notes
n
While this module is programmed for plug-and-play installation, some GM vehicles may require a simple relearn procedure after the new BCM is installed. These do not always require a trip to a mechanic and can sometimes be performed with a professional-grade scan tool.
n
- n
- Airbag System Sync: If your airbag warning light is illuminated after installation, a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure is necessary. This syncs the new BCM with the airbag system and requires a professional diagnostic tool.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: To ensure correct brake light operation and traction control function, a brake pedal position sensor recalibration may be required on certain models.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a Body Control Module (BCM) do?
The BCM acts as the brain for your vehicle’s body electronics. It controls non-engine related functions like power windows, locks, lights, security system, wipers, and instrument panel functions.
Is this part difficult to install?
The physical installation is typically straightforward, as the BCM is usually located under the steering column or in the center dash. Since we program it to your VIN, you avoid the most complex part of the job. However, some minor post-installation relearn procedures may be needed.
What information do you need to program the BCM?
We need your vehicle’s 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). Please provide it during or after your purchase so we can program the module specifically for your vehicle’s options and configuration.
Will I have to return my old BCM?
No, there is no core charge for this part. You can keep your original module.
Will this fix my ‘Service Airbag’ light?
If the BCM is the source of the fault, yes. However, if the light appears after installing the new BCM, it simply means the new module needs to be electronically introduced to the airbag system using a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key’ procedure with a pro-level scan tool.
