Is Your GM Vehicle Acting Possessed?
Are you dealing with flickering lights, power windows and locks that have a mind of their own, or a security light that won’t turn off? These frustrating and unpredictable electrical issues often point to a single culprit: a failing Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM is the central command center for your vehicle’s body electronics, managing everything from your interior lights and power accessories to the anti-theft system. When it fails, it can cause a cascade of confusing problems.

Before condemning your BCM, always perform a thorough check of your vehicle’s battery, alternator, and primary ground connections (especially the main chassis and engine grounds). A weak battery or a poor ground can cause low voltage conditions that mimic BCM failure. A simple check can save you time and money.
The Simple, Reliable Solution
Instead of a costly trip to the dealership for diagnostics and programming, we offer a direct and efficient solution. This Equinox Body Control Module arrives at your door pre-programmed with the latest GM software updates, specifically matched to your vehicle’s VIN. This eliminates the need for expensive scan tools or dealer intervention. It’s a straightforward replacement designed to restore your vehicle’s functionality quickly and correctly.
Common Symptoms of a Failing BCM:
- ✔ Power windows, mirrors, or door locks working intermittently or not at all.
- ✔ Interior or exterior lights staying on or not turning on.
- ✔ The anti-theft or security light is illuminated, preventing the car from starting.
- ✔ Erratic behavior from the instrument cluster gauges or warning lights.
- ✔ Horn honking unexpectedly or not working.
- ✔ Remote keyless entry failure.
Why Choose Our Programmed Equinox Body Control Module?
We make the repair process as simple as possible. Once you purchase the module, you provide us with your vehicle’s VIN. Our technicians then flash the BCM with your car’s specific configuration and the newest software available from GM. This ensures perfect compatibility and function right out of the box. Best of all, there is no core charge, so you don’t have to worry about the cost or hassle of sending your old part back.
Important Post-Installation Information
While this module is designed for a direct installation, some vehicles may require minor post-installation procedures to sync all systems perfectly:
- Airbag System Sync: If your airbag warning light is on after installation, a professional scan tool is needed to perform the “Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM” procedure. This syncs the new BCM with the airbag system.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: On certain models, a brake pedal position sensor relearn may be necessary to ensure correct operation of the brake lights and traction control system.
Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician if you are unsure about any part of the installation or post-installation process.
