Experiencing Bizarre Electrical Issues in Your Chevy Volt?
If your 2013 Chevy Volt is suffering from a mind of its own—with flickering lights, unresponsive power windows, a malfunctioning security system, or strange warning messages—a failing Body Control Module (BCM) is the most likely culprit. This central computer governs countless comfort and convenience features, and when it fails, it can cause a cascade of frustrating and unpredictable problems. Instead of facing a massive bill and complex programming procedures at the dealership, our professional programming service provides a simple, reliable, and cost-effective solution to get your innovative vehicle working perfectly again.
Common Symptoms & Your Solution
A faulty BCM can manifest in numerous ways, often leading to confusing diagnostic codes (like U-series communication codes) or no codes at all. If you’re dealing with any of the following, this service is your definitive fix:
- Interior or exterior lights not working correctly or staying on.
- Power windows, locks, or mirrors behaving erratically or not at all.
- The security system engaging randomly or preventing the car from starting.
- Dashboard warning lights appearing for no reason.
- HVAC (heating and air conditioning) controls are unresponsive.
Our process restores your vehicle’s functionality by transferring the unique, vehicle-specific data from your original BCM directly onto a replacement unit. This makes the replacement a true plug-and-play component, tailored specifically for your car.

Expert Insight: Why Our Cloning Service is Essential
The BCM in your Chevrolet is more than just a box of circuits; it’s the digital handshake that allows dozens of other modules to communicate. It stores critical information that is unique to your car. Simply installing a used BCM from another vehicle will cause major system conflicts and will not work. Our cloning service is the key. We perform a precise, bit-for-bit transfer of your original module’s data. This ensures the replacement 2013 Chevy Volt Body Control Module is instantly recognized by your car’s immobilizer, ECU, and other systems, preserving all original functions and keys without any extra steps on your end.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does this programming service work?
It’s a simple mail-in process. After you place your order, we will contact you with instructions to ship your original BCM to our facility. Once we receive it, our technicians will clone the data onto the replacement module and ship it back to you, ready for installation.
What happens if I don’t send in my original BCM?
Sending your original BCM is a required part of this service. We cannot program the replacement unit without the data from your original module. This process ensures the part is truly plug-and-play for your specific vehicle.
Will I need to perform any procedures after installation?
In most cases, no. However, some GM vehicles may require an ‘Airbag System Sync’ or ‘Brake Pedal Position Relearn’ if specific warning lights appear after installation. These procedures require a professional-grade scan tool but are not always necessary.
What is the typical turnaround time?
We pride ourselves on a fast and efficient process. The programming is typically completed within 1-2 business days of us receiving your original module. Return shipping time will depend on your location.
Is this compatible with other GM models besides the Volt?
Yes. This 2013 Chevy Volt Body Control Module service is also compatible with a wide range of GM vehicles, including the Equinox, Cruze, Malibu, Encore, and Terrain from various model years. Please check the fitment list on this page to confirm compatibility.
