Expert Insight: The BCM as Your Vehicle’s Conductor
Think of the BCM as the conductor of an orchestra. It doesn’t power the engine, but it tells dozens of other components when and how to perform. It manages everything from the simple chime when you leave your lights on to the complex data exchange required for the anti-theft system. In a vehicle like the Cadillac CTS, this communication is critical. Using a generic, non-programmed module is like asking an orchestra to play without a conductorโit leads to discord and system failures. Our VIN-specific programming ensures every component plays its part in perfect harmony, restoring the quiet confidence and luxury feel of your vehicle.

This Programmed 2008-2013 Cadillac CTS Body Control Module is the most efficient and reliable way to solve your vehicle’s issues and get back on the road with peace of mind.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a BCM and what does it do?
The Body Control Module (BCM) is a computer in your vehicle that controls and monitors a wide range of non-engine-related functions. This includes power windows, door locks, interior/exterior lighting, security systems, wipers, and more. It acts as a central hub for these body electronics.
How do I provide my VIN for programming?
After you complete your purchase, you will need to send us your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). We cannot ship your order until we receive the VIN, as the programming is specific to your exact vehicle configuration.
Is this a plug-and-play installation?
Because we program the module to your VIN, it is designed to be as close to plug-and-play as possible, eliminating the need for dealer tools. However, some vehicles may require a simple relearn procedure after installation, such as for the brake pedal position sensor or airbag system, which can sometimes be done with a high-end scan tool.
What if my airbag light is on after installation?
In some cases, the airbag light may illuminate. This typically requires a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure to be performed with a professional diagnostic tool to sync the new BCM with the airbag system. This is a standard security procedure on many GM vehicles.
Will this BCM fit vehicles other than the Cadillac CTS?
Yes. This module, part number 10382479, is a direct replacement for a wide range of part numbers and fits dozens of GM models from Chevrolet, GMC, Buick, Saturn, and more. Please check the detailed fitment list on this page to confirm compatibility with your vehicle.
What is the warranty on this module?
This unit is backed by our one-year replacement warranty, providing you with confidence and assurance in your purchase.
