Restore Full Electrical Function to Your GM Vehicle
Are you battling frustrating electrical gremlins in your 2008-2012 Buick Enclave? Issues like erratic power windows, malfunctioning door locks, flickering interior lights, or a security system that acts up on its own are often 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 confusing and intermittent problems. This replacement Body Control Module is the definitive solution to restore your vehicle’s electronic systems to perfect working order.
This isn’t just a part; it’s a complete, ready-to-install solution. We take the hassle out of the repair by programming the module to your vehicle’s specific VIN before it ever leaves our facility. This means no expensive trips to the dealership for programming. Simply provide your VIN during checkout, and we’ll handle the rest, ensuring the BCM is loaded with the latest GM software updates for optimal performance and compatibility.
From the Diagnostic Bay
We had a 2011 Enclave come in with a classic case of BCM failure. The customer complained of the radio turning on by itself, the liftgate opening randomly, and a parasitic battery drain that left them stranded twice. After confirming power and grounds were good, we pinpointed the BCM. Instead of a complicated dealer visit, we installed one of our pre-programmed modules. The electrical chaos stopped immediately. The customer was thrilled to have their reliable, well-behaved luxury SUV back without the dealership price tag or wait time.
Common Symptoms of a Failing BCM
- ✔ Intermittent or non-working power windows, locks, and mirrors.
- ✔ Erratic interior or exterior lighting behavior.
- ✔ Security system faults or the alarm sounding for no reason.
- ✔ Problems with the keyless entry or remote start system.
- ✔ Unexplained parasitic battery drain leading to a dead battery.
- ✔ Warning lights on the dash, such as the airbag or service vehicle light.
- ✔ Communication errors with other vehicle modules when scanned.
Solving Problems with a Pre-Programmed 2008-2012 Enclave BCM
Replacing the BCM can seem daunting, but our process makes it simple. By matching this module to your VIN, we ensure it communicates flawlessly with your vehicle’s other computers, like the Engine Control Module (ECM) and Transmission Control Module (TCM). This is a direct-fit replacement for part number 15276271 and a host of other interchangeable GM part numbers, offering broad compatibility across many models including the GMC Acadia, Chevy Traverse, Saturn Outlook, and more. Please verify your original part number to ensure a perfect match.
Post-Installation Steps
While our VIN programming handles the most critical setup, some GM vehicles may require simple relearn procedures after installation. These can often be performed with a capable bi-directional scan tool. Common procedures include:
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag light is on after installation, a technician will need to perform the “Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM” procedure 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.
