Are you battling bizarre electrical issues in your GM vehicle? Flickering lights, malfunctioning power windows and locks, a security system that acts up, or even a no-start condition can often be traced back to a single culprit: a failing Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM is the central nervous system for your vehicle’s electronic accessories, and when it fails, it can cause a wide range of frustrating problems. This replacement Body Control Module, part number 15819552, is the definitive solution to restore full functionality and peace of mind.
Unlike a standard replacement part that requires a trip to the dealership for expensive programming, this BCM arrives at your door ready for installation. We professionally program the module with the latest GM software updates, tailored specifically to your vehicle using the VIN you provide. This plug-and-play approach saves you time, money, and the headache of coordinating with a service center. Simply install the module, and you’re ready to go.
Common Symptoms of a Failing GM BCM
- ✔ Erratic or non-functional interior and exterior lights
- ✔ Power windows, door locks, or mirrors not working correctly
- ✔ Vehicle security system faults or alarm sounding randomly
- ✔ ‘Service Theft System’ or other warnings on the dash
- ✔ Intermittent no-start condition where the engine won’t crank
- ✔ Radio or climate control malfunctions

Solving Issues with Your Pontiac Torrent BCM
This module is a direct-fit replacement for a wide array of General Motors vehicles, including the Pontiac Torrent, Chevrolet Equinox, GMC Acadia, Saturn Outlook, and many more. It replaces a long list of original part numbers, ensuring broad compatibility. After purchase, simply send us your vehicle’s VIN, and our technicians will handle the programming. This ensures that all the specific options and features your vehicle came with from the factory will work seamlessly with the new module.
Post-Installation Information: In some cases, minor follow-up procedures may be needed.

Additionally, a ‘Brake Pedal Position Relearn’ might be necessary to ensure proper brake light and traction control operation. These are standard procedures when replacing a BCM and can be performed by any qualified technician.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I provide my vehicle’s VIN?
After you complete your purchase, please send us a message with your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). We cannot program and ship your module without it.
Is this part difficult to install?
The BCM is typically located under the dash on the driver’s or passenger’s side. Installation is generally straightforward for someone with basic mechanical skills, involving unplugging the old module and plugging in the new one. However, we always recommend consulting a service manual or a professional technician if you are unsure.
Will this fix my specific electrical problem?
This module corrects issues directly caused by a faulty BCM. While the symptoms listed are very common for BCM failure, it’s essential to have your vehicle properly diagnosed to rule out other potential causes like bad wiring, fuses, or switches.
What happens if the airbag light comes on after installation?
This is not uncommon. It simply means the new BCM needs to be synced with the airbag system’s Supplemental Deployment Module (SDM). A technician with a capable scan tool can perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure to resolve this.
Do I need to return my old BCM?
No, there is no core charge for this part. You can keep your original module.
Does this fit vehicles other than the Pontiac Torrent?
Yes, this BCM is compatible with a very wide range of GM vehicles, including the Chevy Impala, GMC Acadia, Cadillac DTS, Chevy Express vans, and many others. Please check the detailed fitment list on this page to confirm compatibility with your specific model and year.
