Are you experiencing frustrating electrical issues in your Cadillac CTS? Problems like erratic power windows, 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 computer for your vehicle’s body electronics, and when it fails, it can cause a wide range of confusing and intermittent symptoms. This pre-programmed Body Control Module is the definitive solution to restore your vehicle’s functionality and peace of mind.
This isn’t just a replacement part; it’s a complete, ready-to-install solution. We flash each module with the latest GM software, specifically programmed to your vehicle’s unique Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). This means you can skip the expensive trip to the dealership for programming. Simply install the module, perform any necessary relearn procedures, and get back on the road. There is no core charge, so you can keep your original part.

Post-Installation Requirements
After installation, some vehicles may require additional calibration for full functionality. These are simple procedures for any qualified technician with a professional scan tool.
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is illuminated after installation, a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure is needed to sync the systems. This is only required if the light is on.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: A brake pedal position sensor recalibration may be necessary to ensure proper brake light and traction control operation.
Disclaimer: Specific procedures can vary by vehicle. Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician for guidance.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Body Control Module do?
The BCM acts as the central computer for your vehicle’s body electronics. It controls non-engine related functions like power windows, locks, lights, wipers, security system, and climate controls.
Do I need to program this replacement BCM?
No. We program the module to your vehicle’s specific VIN before shipping it to you. This makes the installation process much simpler and avoids a trip to the dealership.
Where is the BCM located on my 2008-2013 Cadillac CTS?
On the 2008-2013 Cadillac CTS, the Body Control Module is typically located on the left-hand (driver’s side) of the dashboard, often behind the lower dash panel near the steering column.
What happens if I don’t perform the post-installation procedures?
If a required relearn procedure is not performed, you may experience issues like an airbag warning light that won’t turn off or improper operation of the brake lights and traction control system.
How do I provide my VIN?
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 program and ship your module without it.
