Restore Full Electrical Function to Your Vehicle
Are you dealing with baffling electrical gremlins in your Pontiac Torrent or other GM vehicle? Issues like erratic power windows, flickering dashboard lights, a malfunctioning security system, or even a no-start condition can often be traced back to a single component: a failing Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM acts as the central nervous system for your vehicle’s body electronics, and when it fails, it can cause a wide range of frustrating and unpredictable problems. This replacement BCM, part number 15872388, is the definitive solution to restore your vehicle’s proper operation and reliability.
Is a Failing Pontiac Torrent BCM Causing Your Problems?
A faulty BCM doesn’t always fail completely. It often starts with intermittent issues that can be difficult to diagnose. If you’re experiencing any of the following, your BCM is the likely culprit.
Common Failure Symptoms
- ✔ Power windows, door locks, or mirrors working intermittently or not at all.
- ✔ Interior or exterior lights flickering, staying on, or not turning on.
- ✔ The security system acting up, causing alarm or starting issues.
- ✔ The key fob not responding correctly.
- ✔ Warning lights on the dashboard appearing for no reason (e.g., ABS, Airbag, Traction Control).
- ✔ Wipers or radio operating erratically.
- ✔ Communication errors with diagnostic scan tools.

Post-Installation Information
While our programming handles the critical setup, some vehicles may require simple relearn procedures after installation. These can often be done with a high-end scan tool. Key procedures to be aware of include:
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag light is illuminated after installation, a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure is needed to sync the new BCM with the airbag system.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: To ensure correct brake light and traction control operation, a brake pedal position sensor relearn might be necessary.
Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician for vehicle-specific procedures.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to have this BCM programmed by a dealer?
No. We handle all the necessary programming for you before we ship the part. Just provide your vehicle’s VIN during checkout, and it will arrive ready to be installed.
What is a BCM and what does it control?
The Body Control Module (BCM) is a computer that manages many of your vehicle’s non-engine related functions, such as power windows, locks, lights, wipers, the security system, and the key fob.
Where is the BCM located on a 2007-2009 Pontiac Torrent?
On the 2007-2009 Pontiac Torrent, the Body Control Module is typically located behind the center of the dashboard.
What happens if the airbag light is on after I install the new BCM?
This is a common security feature. The new BCM needs to be synced with the airbag’s Supplemental Inflatable Restraint (SIR) module. This requires a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key’ procedure using a professional-grade scan tool.
