2007-2009 Equinox BCM 20815898 | Programmed Cloning Service

Restore Control and End Electrical Frustrations in Your GM Vehicle

Are you dealing with baffling electrical issues in your 2007-2009 Chevrolet Equinox or another compatible GM model? Flickering lights, malfunctioning power windows, a security system that acts up, or even a vehicle that won’t start can often be traced back to a single, central component: a failing Body Control Module (BCM). As the nerve center for your vehicle’s body electronics, a faulty BCM can create a cascade of frustrating and unpredictable problems. This isn’t just an inconvenience; it can be a serious safety concern when critical systems like lighting and security are compromised.

This is a direct-fit replacement Body Control Module, arriving at your door fully programmed and ready for installation. We take the guesswork and high dealership costs out of the equation. By providing your vehicle’s VIN during checkout, our technicians will perform a complete cloning service, transferring your vehicle’s specific data to this replacement unit. It will be loaded with the latest GM software updates, ensuring optimal performance and compatibility. This service means you can bypass the expensive programming fees and scheduling hassles at a dealership, getting you back on the road faster.

Is Your Vehicle Showing These Symptoms?

• ✔ Erratic or non-functional interior/exterior lights.
• ✔ Power windows, door locks, or mirrors working intermittently or not at all.
• ✔ The anti-theft or security system light is on, or the alarm triggers for no reason.
• ✔ Dashboard warning lights illuminating without a clear cause.
• ✔ Communication error codes stored, such as U0140, U0155, or B1001.
• ✔ A no-start condition where the engine cranks but won’t fire up, often related to security system communication.

Your Straightforward BCM Installation Guide

Installing your pre-programmed 2007-2009 Equinox BCM is a manageable task for a confident DIYer. While the exact location varies by model (see fitment list), the general process is similar.

1. Safety First: Always disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery and wait 10-15 minutes to allow all systems to power down completely.
2. Locate the BCM: On the 2007-2009 Equinox, the BCM is typically located behind the center dash panel. On other models, it may be under the steering column or on the left-hand side of the dash. You may need to remove trim panels to gain access.
3. Disconnect and Remove: Carefully unplug all electrical connectors from the old BCM. Note their orientation. Then, unbolt or unclip the module from its mounting bracket and remove it from the vehicle.
4. Install the New Module: Mount the new, programmed BCM in the same location. Reconnect all electrical connectors firmly, ensuring they click into place.
5. Reconnect and Test: Reconnect the negative battery terminal. Turn the key to the ‘On’ position and test all body functions—lights, windows, locks, wipers, etc.—to confirm proper operation.
6. Perform Relearn Procedures: As noted below, you may need a professional scan tool to perform an Airbag System Sync or Brake Pedal Position Relearn if related warning lights are present after installation.

Post-Installation Requirements

Our cloning service handles the main programming, but some vehicle systems may require a ‘handshake’ with the new BCM. Please be aware of these potential post-installation steps:

• Airbag System Sync: If the airbag light is on after installation, a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure is needed. This requires a professional-grade scan tool to sync the modules and is a critical safety step.
• Brake Pedal Position Relearn: On some models, a brake pedal position sensor relearn might be necessary to ensure brake lights and traction control function correctly.

Disclaimer: Vehicle systems vary. Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician if you are unsure about any step.
