2006 – 2011 Cadillac DTS Body Control Module (BCM) 10382479 – Pre-Programmed to Your VIN with One-Year Warranty from Highway71AutoParts.com
Ever dealt with erratic dashboard lights flickering on your 2006 Cadillac DTS during a rainy commute, or wondered why your power windows and locks suddenly fail without warning? These frustrating symptoms often point to a failing body control module, disrupting everything from interior lighting to security systems. As a seasoned mechanic who’s diagnosed countless GM vehicles, I’ve seen how a faulty BCM can turn a smooth luxury drive into a headache, especially in older models like the DTS where electrical gremlins build up over years of exposure to humidity and wear. The good news? Our pre-programmed BCM, featuring part number 10382479, arrives ready to install with the latest GM updates tailored to your VIN. It’s compatible with a wide array of GM models, including 2006-2011 Cadillac DTS (RH center dash), various Chevy Impala, Tahoe, and Express vans, plus Pontiac and Saturn equivalents—covering part numbers like 15093910, 15276271, and more up to 95151084.

Common Issues & How This Fixes Them
In my shop experience, BCM failures in 2006-2011 Cadillac DTS often manifest as dashboard warning lights that won’t reset, like the airbag indicator staying lit even after checks. This stems from corroded internal circuits, common in vehicles exposed to Midwest winters or coastal humidity, leading to communication breakdowns with other modules. Another frequent problem is malfunctioning power accessories—think windows that roll down but not up, or doors that lock unpredictably, caused by voltage spikes or software glitches accumulating over 100,000 miles. I’ve fixed these on DTS owners who reported security system false alarms, disrupting late-night arrivals. Our pre-programmed BCM addresses these by restoring stable voltage regulation and updated firmware, effectively clearing DTC codes like B1370 or U0140. For instance, one client with a 2008 DTS saw their intermittent wiper failures vanish post-replacement, improving visibility in storms. Additionally, if your DTS experiences erratic horn operation or theft deterrent issues, this module recalibrates those functions, preventing breakdowns that could strand you. Beyond basics, it enhances fuel efficiency indirectly by ensuring accessory loads don’t drain the battery unnecessarily, a subtle benefit for long-term ownership.
Easy Installation Guide
- Provide your VIN after purchase so we can program the BCM with the latest GM updates before shipping—essential for seamless integration.
- Disconnect the battery to ensure safety and prevent electrical shorts; locate the BCM on the RH center dash of your DTS.
- Remove the old module by unplugging connectors and unscrewing mounts—use a trim tool to avoid damaging surrounding panels.
- Install the new BCM, reconnecting all wiring harnesses securely to match the factory setup.
- Reconnect the battery and perform any necessary relearns: For theft system, cycle the key from off to on three times if a no-start occurs—GM standards indicate this is only needed post-install if issues arise.
- Test all functions like lights, locks, and windows; consult a pro if anomalies persist.
