Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly does the BCM control on my CTS?
The Body Control Module manages a wide range of non-engine related functions. This includes power windows, power door locks, interior and exterior lighting, the security system, keyless entry, and even the windshield wipers. It’s the primary reason a failing BCM can cause so many different, seemingly unrelated issues.
Why is providing my VIN so important?
Your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) allows us to program the BCM with the exact software and configuration your specific Cadillac CTS requires. This includes options like the type of headlights, security features, and other trim-level specifics. This VIN-matching process is what makes the installation straightforward and avoids conflicts with other modules in your car.
Are there any other steps required after installation?
In some cases, yes. As noted in our post-install procedures, you may need a professional scan tool to perform a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure if the airbag light comes on, or a ‘Brake Pedal Position Relearn’. These are simple sync procedures that a qualified shop can perform quickly.
How do I give you my VIN?
After you complete your purchase, you will need to send us your 17-digit VIN. We cannot ship your order until we receive this information, as the programming is a critical part of the process. You can typically find your VIN on your vehicle’s registration, insurance card, or on a plate on the driver’s side of the dashboard visible through the windshield.
Will this fit my vehicle if my original part number is different?
Yes. This BCM is a direct replacement for a wide range of original GM part numbers. We have included an extensive cross-reference list in our fitment data. As long as your vehicle is listed and we program the module to your VIN, it will function correctly.
