2006 – 2011 GM Vehicles Body Control Module (BCM) 15299986 – Programmed to Your VIN
Imagine dealing with erratic dashboard lights on your 2007 Chevy Impala during a late-night drive, or your GMC Savana van refusing to start because of a security glitch after a battery swap. These frustrating symptoms often point to a failing Body Control Module, disrupting everything from power locks to interior lighting. Our pre-programmed BCM, matching part number 15299986 among compatible options like 10382479, 15093910, and 25892622, arrives flashed with the latest GM updates using your VIN for seamless integration. This ensures your vehicle runs smoothly without compatibility headaches, restoring reliable performance in models like the Equinox, Tahoe, or Express vans from 2006 to 2011. Beyond basic replacement, this module enhances system communication, preventing recurring faults and saving you diagnostic trips—drawing from years of shop experience where I’ve seen similar fixes turn unreliable rides into dependable daily drivers.

Common Issues & How This Fixes Them
Body Control Modules in 2006-2011 GM vehicles often fail due to moisture intrusion, voltage spikes, or age-related wear, leading to symptoms like non-functional power windows in a Chevy Equinox or erratic door locks on a Cadillac DTS. For instance, I’ve encountered cases where a Savana 2500 van’s BCM triggered DTC B1370 for ignition circuit faults, causing no-start situations after jump-starts—often misdiagnosed as battery issues. This replacement module resolves that by restoring proper signal relay, clearing the code and preventing repeats. Another frequent problem is intermittent lighting failures, such as headlights flickering on a Pontiac G8 during highway travel; our VIN-programmed unit recalibrates the network, ensuring stable operation. In Hummer H2 models, security system glitches (DTC B2960) can immobilize the engine—replacing with this BCM fixes the handshake between modules. Expert tip: Always check harness connections first; corrosion there mimics BCM failure, but swapping to this updated version provides a definitive fix, reducing downtime for work vans or family SUVs. Transitioning to benefits, this approach not only clears errors but optimizes features like remote start, based on patterns I’ve analyzed in diagnostics.
Easy Installation Guide
- Provide your VIN immediately after purchase so we can program the BCM with the latest GM updates before shipping.
- Disconnect the negative battery cable to ensure safety and reset the system—wear gloves to avoid static discharge.
- Locate the BCM (e.g., center dash in Express vans or under steering column in Tahoes) and unplug the old unit carefully, noting connector orientations.
- Install the new module by securing it in place and reconnecting all harnesses firmly to prevent loose connections.
- Reconnect the battery and perform a theft deterrent relearn if a no-start occurs: Insert key, turn to ON for 10 minutes (three cycles if needed), then start the engine.
- Test all functions like lights, locks, and wipers; scan for codes to confirm resolution, and drive a short distance to verify stability.
