Are you dealing with perplexing electrical issues in your GM vehicle? Flickering lights, malfunctioning power windows, or a security system that acts on its own 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 fails, it can cause a wide range of frustrating problems. This replacement Body Control Module, part number 15093910, is the definitive solution to restore full functionality and reliability to your car, truck, or SUV.
We take the guesswork and extra expense out of the repair process. Unlike a standard replacement that requires a trip to the dealership for costly programming, this BCM arrives at your door pre-programmed to your vehicle’s specific VIN. Simply provide us with your VIN after purchase, and our experts will load the latest GM software updates, ensuring a seamless, plug-and-play installation. This saves you time, money, and the headache of coordinating with a service center.
We had a 2009 Chevy Traverse come in with a truly bizarre issue: the radio would randomly change stations, and the rear wiper would activate every time the driver used the left turn signal. The owner had already replaced the battery and checked all the fuses. After connecting our diagnostic scanner, we saw multiple communication fault codes pointing to the BCM. Instead of a complex wiring nightmare, the fix was a simple swap with a VIN-programmed BCM. A 30-minute installation solved every ghost in the machine, and the customer drove away with their vehicle functioning perfectly again.
Common Symptoms of a Failing BCM
- ✔ Erratic or non-functional interior and exterior lights (headlights, dome lights, dash lights).
- ✔ Power windows, door locks, or mirrors not working correctly.
- ✔ Intermittent or complete failure of the radio and infotainment system.
- ✔ Security system faults or the engine failing to start due to anti-theft issues.
- ✔ Wipers or other accessories activating without input.
- ✔ False warning lights appearing on the instrument cluster.

Installation and Post-Install Notes
Installation is typically straightforward, involving locating the old BCM (often under the dash), disconnecting the battery, swapping the modules, and reconnecting everything. However, in some cases, additional steps may be needed:
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is on 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 certain models, a brake pedal position sensor relearn may be required to ensure correct brake light and traction control operation.
Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician if you are unsure about any part of the installation process.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Body Control Module (BCM)?
The BCM is a computer in your vehicle that controls and monitors a wide variety of electronic accessories not related to the engine, such as power windows, locks, lights, wipers, and the security system. It acts as the central hub for these functions.
How does the VIN programming work?
After you place your order, you provide us with your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN. We use this number to access the latest official GM software for your specific vehicle build. We then flash this software onto the BCM before shipping it, making it ready for installation.
Do I need to send my old BCM back?
No, there is no core charge for this part. You can keep your original module, which can be helpful for double-checking part numbers or for diagnostic reference.
Is this BCM difficult to install?
For someone with moderate DIY automotive experience, the physical swap is generally not difficult. The BCM is usually located under the dashboard. The key benefit of our product is that the difficult programming step is already done for you.
What if my airbag light is on after I install the new BCM?
This can happen occasionally. It means the new BCM needs to be electronically introduced to the airbag system’s computer (SDM). A procedure called ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ must be performed with a professional-grade scan tool to resolve this.
Does this part fit vehicles other than the Saturn Vue?
Yes, this BCM is compatible with a vast range of GM vehicles, including the Chevy Equinox, GMC Acadia, Cadillac DTS, Chevy Impala, and many Express/Savana vans. Please review the full fitment list and match your original part number to ensure compatibility.
