Is your Cadillac DTS plagued by mysterious electrical problems? Flickering lights, malfunctioning power windows, a security system that acts on its own, or a battery that drains overnight are all classic signs 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 cascade of frustrating and seemingly unrelated issues. This isn’t just an inconvenience; it can affect your vehicle’s security and safety. Restore order and reliability with our pre-programmed BCM, the definitive solution for your vehicle’s electrical woes.
Common Symptoms of a Failing BCM

Important Post-Installation Steps
While our programming handles the majority of the setup, some GM vehicles may require additional synchronization procedures after installation. These are typically performed with a professional-grade scan tool.
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is illuminated after installation, a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure is necessary to sync the new BCM with the airbag system.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: To ensure proper brake light and traction control operation, a brake pedal position sensor recalibration might be required.
Please consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician for vehicle-specific procedures.
