Are you dealing with frustrating and unpredictable electrical problems in your Saturn Outlook or other compatible GM vehicle? A failing Body Control Module (BCM) is often the culprit behind issues like erratic lights, malfunctioning power accessories, and mysterious warning messages. The BCM acts as the central hub for your vehicle’s body electronics, and when it fails, it can cause a wide range of confusing symptoms. This replacement Body Control Module is the reliable, cost-effective solution to restore your vehicle’s proper function.
We take the guesswork and high costs out of the repair process. Unlike a standard replacement, this module comes pre-programmed with the latest GM software specifically matched to your vehicle’s VIN. This means you can avoid a trip to the dealership for expensive programming. Simply provide us with your VIN after purchase, and we’ll handle the flashing before we ship it to you, creating a straightforward installation experience.
Common Symptoms of a Failing BCM
- ✔ Intermittent or non-functional power windows, door locks, and mirrors.
- ✔ Erratic behavior from interior or exterior lights (flickering, staying on, or not turning on).
- ✔ False alarms from the security system or a failure to arm/disarm.
- ✔ Inaccurate or dead gauges on the instrument cluster.
- ✔ Climate control system not responding correctly.
- ✔ ‘Service Electrical System’ or similar warnings appearing on the dashboard.
- ✔ Communication loss with other vehicle modules.
Why Choose Our Programmed Outlook Body Control Module?
This isn’t just a replacement part; it’s a complete solution. By programming the module to your specific VIN, we ensure it integrates seamlessly with your vehicle’s existing systems and options. It’s a direct replacement for a wide range of original part numbers, including 15872388, 25892622, 20815898, and many more, offering broad compatibility across numerous GM models like the Chevy Traverse, GMC Acadia, Buick Enclave, and Cadillac DTS. With no core charge, you can keep your old part without the hassle of returning it.
Post-Installation Notes: While our programming handles the critical setup, some vehicles may require simple relearn procedures after installation. For instance, if the airbag warning light is illuminated, a professional scan tool will be needed to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure. Additionally, a Brake Pedal Position sensor relearn may be necessary to ensure proper brake light and traction control operation. These procedures are straightforward for any qualified technician.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to have this BCM programmed by the dealer?
No. We program the module to your vehicle’s VIN before shipping it to you. This saves you the time, hassle, and expense of a dealership visit for programming.
How do I provide my Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)?
After you complete your purchase, you will need to send us your 17-digit VIN. You can typically add it as a note during checkout or reply to your order confirmation email with the information. We cannot ship the part until we have your VIN.
Is this part truly ‘plug and play’?
For most vehicles, yes. Our VIN programming makes it a direct fit. However, as with any BCM replacement, some models may require minor, on-vehicle relearn procedures for systems like the airbag (if the light is on) or the brake pedal position sensor.
What if my original part number is not 15872388?
This module is a direct replacement for a long list of GM part numbers. Please review the comprehensive list in the description to confirm that your original part number is included.
What should I do if the airbag light turns on after installation?
If the airbag light is on, it means the new BCM needs to be synced with the airbag’s Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM). A technician with a professional-grade scan tool will need to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure to resolve this.
Do I need to return my old BCM?
No. This product comes with no core charge, so you are not required to send your original module back to us.
