Is Your GM Vehicle Experiencing Strange Electrical Issues?
The Body Control Module, or BCM, is the central command center for your vehicle’s body electronics. It manages everything from your power windows and door locks to the interior lights, security system, and even aspects of the ignition. When the BCM starts to fail, it can cause a cascade of confusing and frustrating problems that can be difficult to diagnose. This replacement Body Control Module is the definitive solution to restore full functionality and peace of mind.
From the Diagnostic Bay
We recently had a 2010 Cadillac STS in the shop with a classic case of BCM failure. The owner reported that the radio would randomly turn on, the driver’s power window was inoperative, and the security light would flash intermittently. They had already replaced the battery and checked all related fuses with no success. A quick diagnostic scan revealed multiple communication fault codes pointing directly to a faulty BCM. By installing a VIN-programmed module like this one, we were able to resolve every single electrical ghost in one simple repair, getting the customer safely back on the road.
Common Symptoms of a Failing BCM
- ✔️ Erratic or non-functional power windows, door locks, or mirrors.
- ✔️ Interior or exterior lights that won’t turn on or stay on constantly.
- ✔️ Malfunctioning keyless entry or vehicle security system.
- ✔️ Warning lights on the dashboard such as “Service Electrical System”.
- ✔️ Intermittent no-start conditions where the vehicle has power but won’t crank.
- ✔️ False readings on the instrument cluster gauges.
- ✔️ Complete loss of communication with the module during a diagnostic scan.
Why Choose Our Pre-Programmed 2010 STS Body Control Module?
Replacing a BCM isn’t just a matter of swapping parts. A new module must be programmed with your vehicle’s specific Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and factory-installed options to work correctly. Our service eliminates the most difficult step. We take your VIN, flash the module with the latest official GM software and updates, and ship it to you ready for installation. This saves you a costly trip to the dealership and hours of labor for programming, making the repair process faster and more affordable.
Post-Installation Requirements
While this module is delivered ready for installation, some vehicles may require additional simple relearn procedures after the part is installed. These are standard for this type of repair.
- 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 some models, a brake pedal position sensor recalibration may be necessary to ensure proper operation of the brake lights and traction control system.
Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician for vehicle-specific procedures.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Body Control Module do?
The BCM is a computer in your car that controls and monitors most of the non-engine related electronic functions, such as power windows, locks, lights, wipers, and the security system.
Does this BCM need to be programmed?
No, you do not need to program it. We handle all programming for you. Simply provide us with your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN after purchase, and we will flash the module with the latest GM software before shipping it.
Is this a plug-and-play installation?
Yes, because we program the module to your VIN, it is ready for installation upon arrival. In some cases, minor relearn procedures for the airbag or brake systems may be required after installation, which is normal for this repair.
What if my airbag light turns on after I install it?
This is a possibility and requires a simple sync procedure. A qualified technician with a professional scan tool will need to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ function to sync the new BCM with the airbag system and turn off the light.
How do I know if this part fits my vehicle?
Please check the extensive list of compatible models provided in the description. You should also match your original BCM’s part number to the list of compatible part numbers to ensure a perfect fit.
