Is Your Cadillac DTS Plagued by Electrical Gremlins?
If you’re dealing with flickering lights, malfunctioning power windows or locks, a security system that acts up, or even a car that refuses to start, the culprit is often a failing Body Control Module (BCM). In my 20+ years as a diagnostic technician, I’ve seen how a faulty BCM can turn a luxury ride like the Cadillac DTS into a source of constant frustration. It’s the central nervous system for your car’s comfort and convenience features, and when it goes, chaos ensues.

Expert Pro Tip from a 20-Year Veteran
Before installing your new BCM, take a moment to inspect the area around the old module for any signs of water intrusion. On the DTS, the BCM is located on the right-hand side of the center dash. A common cause of BCM failure I’ve diagnosed in the shop is a small, unnoticed leak from a clogged cowl drain or a bad windshield seal. A simple visual check and cleaning of the area can prevent the same problem from damaging your new part down the road.
Simple Installation Process
- Safety First: Always disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery before starting any electrical work.
- Locate the BCM: On the 2006-2011 Cadillac DTS, the BCM is found behind the glove box, on the right side of the center dash area. You will need to remove the glove box assembly for access.
- Disconnect and Remove: Carefully unplug the electrical connectors from the old module. They have locking tabs that must be depressed. Once disconnected, unbolt the module from its mounting bracket.
- Install the New Module: Mount your new, pre-programmed BCM in place and securely reconnect all electrical connectors. Ensure they click into place.
- Reconnect Battery: Re-attach the negative battery terminal.
Important Post-Installation Steps
To ensure all systems operate correctly after installing your new 2006–2011 DTS Body Control Module, a few final procedures are necessary. These steps are critical for safety and performance.
- Airbag System Reset: The ‘Service Airbag’ light will likely be on. A qualified technician must perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure with a professional-grade scan tool to re-establish communication between the BCM and the airbag system.
- Brake Pedal Position Sensor Relearn: Some vehicles may require a brake pedal position sensor relearn procedure. This ensures the brake lights and stability control system function correctly.
