Is your 2007-2012 GMC Acadia suffering from bizarre electrical problems? The Body Control Module, or BCM, is the central command center for your vehicle’s body electronics. When it fails, it can cause a cascade of frustrating issues that seem unrelated. This replacement Body Control Module is the definitive solution to restore your vehicle’s proper function, arriving at your door pre-programmed with the latest GM software specifically for your vehicle’s VIN.
Symptoms of a Failing Acadia Body Control Module
A faulty BCM can manifest in numerous ways. If you’re experiencing any of the following, a failing BCM is the likely culprit:
- ✔ Erratic or non-functional power windows, door locks, or mirrors.
- ✔ Interior or exterior lights (headlights, taillights, dome lights) staying on, flickering, or not working at all.
- ✔ Windshield wipers operating incorrectly or activating randomly.
- ✔ Malfunctioning keyless entry or vehicle security system alarms.
- ✔ False warning lights appearing on the instrument cluster (e.g., ‘Service StabiliTrak’, ‘Service Airbag’).
- ✔ Radio or infotainment system issues, such as shutting off unexpectedly.
- ✔ Inability to communicate with the module using a diagnostic scan tool.

Don’t waste time and money at the dealership. We simplify the repair process. Simply provide your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN during checkout, and our technicians will program this Acadia Body Control Module with the most current software from General Motors. This ensures that the module communicates perfectly with your vehicle’s existing systems right out of the box. There is no core charge, so you can keep your old part.
Important Post-Installation Information
While this module is programmed for your vehicle, some systems may require a quick relearn or synchronization procedure after installation. These are standard steps for many modern vehicle repairs.
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is illuminated 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 some models, a brake pedal position sensor relearn may be required 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 post-installation steps. This module is a direct replacement for multiple part numbers, including: 10382479, 15093910, 15276271, 15837419, 20815898, 22860591, 25892622, and many more.
