2006 – 2013 GM Vehicles Body Control Module (BCM) 15828601 – Programmed to Your VIN
Imagine dealing with erratic door locks on your 2007 Chevy Tahoe during a family road trip, or dashboard lights flickering unpredictably in your 2010 GMC Yukon while navigating city traffic. These frustrating symptoms often point to a failing Body Control Module (BCM), the central hub managing your vehicle’s electrical systems. Our pre-programmed BCM, part number 15828601, arrives ready to install, flashed with the latest GM updates using your VIN for a perfect match. It replaces a wide range of OEM numbers including 10382479, 15093910, and 25892622, ensuring compatibility across models like the Impala, Express vans, and Acadia. This isn’t just a swap—it’s a reliable solution that restores seamless operation, drawing from over two decades of diagnostics to prevent recurring glitches. By addressing root causes like voltage spikes or corrosion, it enhances overall vehicle reliability, especially in demanding scenarios like towing heavy loads in wet conditions.

Common Issues & How This Fixes Them
Body Control Modules in 2006-2013 GM vehicles often fail due to exposure to moisture, electrical surges, or age-related wear, leading to a host of problems. For instance, if you’re seeing non-responsive power door locks on your Chevy Equinox, it could stem from corrupted BCM programming, causing communication breakdowns with other modules. This replacement BCM fixes that by resetting protocols with fresh GM updates, restoring lock synchronization and preventing lockouts during errands. Another frequent headache is erratic interior lighting or dashboard warnings in models like the GMC Savana van—often triggered by DTC B1370 for device ignition off-circuit issues. Our VIN-specific programming clears such codes by optimizing signal paths, as I’ve seen in countless shop scenarios where a simple swap resolved flickering lights without further wiring hunts. In no-start situations on a Cadillac DTS, the culprit might be a faulty theft deterrent system; this module recalibrates security features, ensuring your engine cranks reliably. Owners of Pontiac G8s report intermittent wiper failures, linked to BCM relay glitches—replacing with this unit stabilizes controls, especially useful in rainy commutes. Drawing from diagnostic logs, these fixes not only address symptoms but also prevent escalation, like when a failing BCM drains the battery overnight in a Buick Enclave. Always scan for codes first; if you spot U0140 (lost communication), this programmed BCM reestablishes network integrity, saving you from broader electrical diagnostics.
Easy Installation Guide
- Provide your VIN after purchase so we can program the BCM with the latest GM updates before shipping.
- Disconnect the battery to ensure safety and prevent electrical shorts—wait 10 minutes for systems to power down.
- Locate the BCM (typically under the steering column, center dash, or LH firewall, depending on your model like Tahoe or Hummer H2).
- Remove the old unit by unplugging connectors and mounting bolts, then install the new one in reverse order.
- Reconnect the battery and perform a theft deterrent relearn if no-start occurs: Insert key, turn to ON for 10 minutes (until security light turns off), then off for 5 seconds—repeat three times.
- Test all functions like lights, locks, and wipers; clear any residual DTCs with an OBD-II scanner for optimal performance.
