Restore Full Electrical Control to Your GMC Acadia
Is your 2007-2012 GMC Acadia suffering from strange and unpredictable electrical issues? Flickering lights, unresponsive power windows, or random warning messages on your dashboard are common signs of a failing Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM is the central command center for your vehicle’s body electronics, and when it malfunctions, it can cause a cascade of frustrating problems. This replacement Body Control Module, part number 95151084, is the definitive solution to restore your vehicle’s proper function and reliability.
We take the guesswork and hassle out of the replacement process. Unlike a standard part from a dealer, this module comes fully programmed to your vehicle’s specific Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). We load the latest GM factory software updates before it ships, ensuring optimal performance and compatibility right out of the box. This eliminates the need for an expensive trip to the dealership for programming, saving you both time and money.
From the Diagnostic Bay
We recently had a 2011 Acadia in the shop that was driving its owner crazy. The dome lights would stay on, the driver’s side window wouldn’t respond, and the key fob worked only intermittently. A quick scan with a professional tool revealed a flurry of communication errors all pointing back to a faulty BCM. Instead of chasing down individual electrical gremlins, we confirmed the BCM was the root cause. Swapping in a VIN-programmed module like this one resolved every single issue in one go, saving the customer hours of diagnostic labor and frustration.
Is Your Acadia Body Control Module Failing?
A faulty BCM can manifest in numerous ways, often seeming like multiple, unrelated problems. If your vehicle is experiencing any of the following symptoms, a failing BCM is the likely culprit:
- ✔ Erratic power windows, door locks, or mirrors that work intermittently or not at all.
- ✔ Interior or exterior lights flickering, staying on, or failing to turn on.
- ✔ The security system acting up, causing alarm issues or a no-start condition.
- ✔ Unresponsive or inconsistent climate control and A/C functions.
- ✔ Windshield wipers activating randomly or not working when you need them.
- ✔ False warning lights on the instrument cluster, such as “Service Stabilitrak” or airbag warnings.
The Plug-and-Programmed Solution
This isn’t just a part; it’s a complete service. By providing us with your VIN during checkout, you receive a module that is a direct-fit replacement for your original. It’s programmed to match the specific options and features of your Acadia, ensuring seamless integration. This module is a reliable replacement for a wide range of original GM part numbers, including 15828601, 20815898, 22860591, 25892622, and many more, making it a versatile solution for numerous GM models from this era.
Installation and Post-Install Considerations
While the module is programmed for your vehicle, some simple relearn procedures may be necessary after installation to ensure all related systems communicate correctly. These are standard procedures for this type of repair.
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is illuminated after installation, a professional scan tool must be used to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure. This syncs the new BCM with the airbag system.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: In some cases, a brake pedal position sensor recalibration may be needed to ensure proper brake light and traction control operation.
We always recommend consulting a factory service manual or a qualified technician if you are unsure about any part of the installation process. With this pre-programmed Acadia Body Control Module, you are starting with a significant advantage over a blank module from the dealer.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does a Body Control Module do on a GMC Acadia?
The BCM acts as the central hub for your vehicle’s body electronics. It controls non-engine related functions like power windows, door locks, interior/exterior lighting, the security system, climate controls, and more.
Is this BCM a plug-and-play installation?
It is ‘plug-and-programmed’. The module is physically a direct replacement and comes programmed to your VIN. However, as with any BCM replacement, some vehicle-specific relearn procedures (like for the airbag or brake pedal sensor) may be required after installation using a compatible scan tool.
How do I provide my VIN for programming?
After you complete your purchase, you will need to send us your 17-digit VIN. We will provide clear instructions on how to do this. We cannot ship the module until we have programmed it with your vehicle’s information.
What happens if my airbag light comes on after installation?
This is a common occurrence. It means the new BCM needs to be electronically introduced to the airbag’s Supplemental Inflatable Restraint (SIR) module. A technician with a professional-grade scan tool will need to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure to sync the modules and turn off the light.
Will this fix my specific electrical problem?
If your vehicle’s symptoms match the common failure points of a BCM and proper diagnosis has pointed to the module, this part is the correct solution. It is designed to resolve the issues caused by a faulty BCM.
Do I need to return my old BCM?
No, there is no core charge for this part. You can keep your original module.
