Restore Your Cadillac’s Electrical System
Are you experiencing frustrating electrical issues in your 2006-2011 Cadillac DTS? Problems like flickering interior or exterior lights, malfunctioning power windows and locks, a faulty security system, or even a car that won’t start can often be traced back to a single component: the Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM acts as the central command center for your vehicle’s body electronics, and when it fails, it can cause a wide range of confusing and unpredictable symptoms.
This is a direct-fit replacement Body Control Module for your vehicle, solving these common issues. The best part? We handle the programming for you. Simply provide your vehicle’s VIN during checkout, and our technicians will flash the module with the latest GM software specific to your car. This means no expensive trip to the dealership for programming. It arrives at your door ready for installation.
From the Diagnostic Bay
We had a 2008 Cadillac DTS come into the shop with a classic “electrical gremlin” case. The owner reported the dome lights would stay on, draining the battery overnight, and the key fob worked intermittently. After checking the battery and alternator, our diagnostics pointed straight to the BCM. It was sending erratic signals, causing the parasitic draw. We installed a VIN-programmed BCM, and the problems vanished instantly. The customer was thrilled to have their luxury car back to normal without a massive dealership bill.
Common Symptoms of a Failing BCM
- ✔ Intermittent or non-working power windows, locks, or mirrors.
- ✔ Interior or exterior lights staying on or not turning on at all.
- ✔ Unexplained parasitic battery drain leading to a dead battery.
- ✔ The security system acting erratically or preventing the car from starting.
- ✔ Dashboard warning lights appearing for various systems.
- ✔ Key fob or remote start functions failing.
- ✔ Wipers or radio behaving unpredictably.

Installation and Post-Install Notes
While the module is programmed for plug-and-play installation, some vehicles may require minor post-installation procedures. For example, if your airbag warning light illuminates after installation, a professional scan tool is needed to perform the “Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM” procedure. Additionally, a Brake Pedal Position Relearn may be necessary on certain models to ensure correct brake light and traction control operation. Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician for guidance specific to your vehicle.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Body Control Module (BCM) do?
The BCM is a computer that manages and controls many of your vehicle’s non-engine related electronic functions, such as power windows, locks, lights, wipers, security system, and more.
Is this BCM ready to install when I receive it?
Yes! We program the module to your vehicle’s specific VIN before shipping, so it’s ready for installation right out of the box. This saves you from needing a dealership to program it.
How do I give you my VIN?
After you complete your purchase, you will need to send us your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). We cannot ship the part until we receive the VIN to perform the programming.
What if my airbag light is on after I install the BCM?
If the airbag light comes on, the vehicle’s systems need to be re-synced. A technician with a professional diagnostic tool will need to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure to resolve this.
Do I need to send my old BCM back?
No. There is no core charge for this part. You can keep your original module.
