Are you battling bizarre electrical gremlins in your Chevrolet Equinox, Pontiac Torrent, or another compatible GM vehicle? A failing Body Control Module (BCM) is often the culprit behind a host of frustrating issues. The BCM acts as the central nervous system for your vehicle’s body electronics, managing everything from your power windows and locks to your interior lights and security system. When it fails, it can make your vehicle feel unpredictable and unreliable. This replacement Body Control Module, part number 95151084, is the definitive solution to restore your vehicle’s functionality and your peace of mind.
We take the guesswork and hassle out of the repair process. Unlike a standard replacement, this BCM arrives at your door fully programmed to your vehicle’s specific Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). We flash it with the latest GM software updates, ensuring optimal performance and compatibility right out of the box. This means no expensive trips to the dealership for programming. Simply provide your VIN during checkout, and we’ll handle the rest.

Common Symptoms of a Failing BCM
- ✔ Erratic or non-functional interior and exterior lights.
- ✔ Power windows, door locks, or mirrors operating intermittently or not at all.
- ✔ The security system engaging randomly or the key fob not working.
- ✔ Instrument cluster gauges behaving erratically or warning lights staying on.
- ✔ Unexplained battery drain that leaves you with a dead battery.
- ✔ Radio or climate control system malfunctions.
- ✔ ‘Service Theft System’ or other warnings appearing on the driver information center.
Installation and Post-Install Notes
Installation is straightforward for those with mechanical experience. Because the module is pre-programmed, it is designed to be plug-and-play. However, on certain vehicle models, additional relearn procedures may be required to sync all systems perfectly. For instance, if the airbag light appears after installation, a professional scan tool is needed to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure. Similarly, a ‘Brake Pedal Position Relearn’ might be necessary to ensure correct brake light and traction control operation. There is no core charge for this part, so you can keep your original module.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I provide my vehicle’s VIN?
After you complete your purchase, you will need to send us your 17-digit VIN. We cannot program and ship the module without it. Please double-check it for accuracy to ensure perfect compatibility.
Is this part truly ‘plug and play’?
Yes, for most functions. Because we program it to your VIN, it eliminates the need for dealership programming. However, as noted, some vehicles may require minor, post-installation ‘relearn’ procedures for systems like the airbags or brake sensor, which may require a professional scan tool.
Do I need to send my old BCM back?
No. This part is sold without a core charge. You are free to keep or dispose of your original module.
What if the airbag light is on after I install this BCM?
This indicates that the new BCM needs to be synced with the vehicle’s airbag system (SDM). A procedure called ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ must be performed using a compatible high-level diagnostic tool to resolve this.
Will this fix my specific electrical problem?
This BCM will resolve issues directly caused by a faulty Body Control Module. While the symptoms listed are common indicators, we always recommend a proper diagnosis by a qualified mechanic to confirm the BCM is the source of your problem before ordering.
