2007 – 2009 GM Vehicles Body Control Module (BCM) 15819552 – Programmed to Your VIN
Imagine dealing with frustrating electrical glitches in your 2007-2009 Chevrolet Equinox or Pontiac Torrent—headlights flickering unexpectedly, power locks failing during a rainstorm, or the alarm system triggering falsely while you’re loading groceries. These symptoms often point to a faulty Body Control Module (BCM), the central hub managing your vehicle’s lighting, security, and accessory functions. Our pre-programmed BCM, part number 15819552, arrives flashed with the latest GM updates tailored to your VIN, ensuring seamless integration. It replaces a wide range of OEM numbers including 10382479, 15093910, 15276271, and more, fitting models like the Equinox 07-09 (center dash), Torrent 07-09 (center dash), and others such as Acadia or Traverse. This direct solution restores reliable operation, preventing those inconvenient breakdowns and enhancing daily driving confidence. Drawing from over two decades in diagnostics, I’ve seen how a properly matched BCM can eliminate intermittent issues that scanners might miss, saving you from repeated shop visits.

Common Issues & How This Fixes Them
Body Control Modules in 2007-2009 GM vehicles often fail due to moisture intrusion, voltage spikes, or age-related wear, leading to a host of problems. For instance, if you’re experiencing erratic door locks or windows that won’t respond—common in models like the Equinox—this could stem from corrupted BCM signals, disrupting the network. Another frequent issue is lighting malfunctions, where headlights or taillights dim or flash randomly, especially noticeable during night drives or in traffic; this ties back to the BCM’s role in power distribution. Security system glitches, like false alarms or failure to recognize keys, might trigger DTCs such as U0140 (lost communication) or B1370 (ignition key circuit), halting starts and stranding you. In my experience, these manifest more in high-mileage vans like the Savana, where constant use wears down the module. Replacing with our VIN-programmed BCM resolves these by restoring proper data flow and updating firmware to prevent recurrence. A real scenario: A client with a 2009 Torrent fixed persistent no-start issues after heavy rain by swapping the BCM, avoiding a tow. Always scan for codes first; if water damage is evident, check seals during install to extend longevity.
Easy Installation Guide
- Provide your VIN after purchase so we can program the BCM with the latest GM updates before shipping.
- Disconnect the battery to ensure safety and reset systems; locate the BCM (e.g., center dash in Equinox or under steering column in Tahoe models).
- Remove the old module by unplugging connectors and unbolting it carefully—note any corrosion on pins for future prevention.
- Install the new BCM in the same position, securing connections firmly to avoid loose fits that could cause intermittent faults.
- Reconnect the battery and perform a theft deterrent relearn if no-start occurs: Insert key, turn to ON for 10 minutes, off for 5 seconds, repeat three times until the security light stops flashing.
- Test all functions like lights, locks, and alarms; use a scan tool to clear any residual codes for optimal performance.
