Tired of Unpredictable Electrical Problems?
Are strange electrical issues turning your drive into a guessing game? Flickering lights, unresponsive power windows, a security system that acts on its own, or random warning chimes often point to one central culprit: a failing Body Control Module (BCM). This component is the nerve center for your vehicle’s body electronics, and when it fails, it can cause a wide range of frustrating and difficult-to-diagnose problems. Stop chasing symptoms and replace the core component with a reliable, pre-programmed solution.
Common Symptoms & Your Solution
If you’re experiencing any of the following, a faulty BCM is the likely cause. This module is the definitive solution for:
- Power windows, door locks, or mirrors working intermittently or not at all
- Interior dome lights or exterior lighting behaving erratically
- The security system or keyless entry failing to operate correctly
- Instrument cluster warning lights illuminating without reason
- Communication errors with other modules (often showing U-codes on a scan tool)
Our Programmed 15828601 BCM is the most efficient and reliable way to solve these issues. We take the guesswork out of the repair by flashing the unit with the latest official GM software, specifically matched to your vehicle’s unique VIN. This ensures all factory-installed options and features work exactly as they should, right out of the box.

An Expert’s Note on Programming
“Many people are tempted to grab a used BCM from a junkyard, thinking it’s a cheap fix. The problem is that a BCM is not a simple swap. It’s programmed with the specific options of the vehicle it came fromโlike the type of radio, climate control, or security system. Installing a mismatched module can lead to features not working or even new, more confusing problems. Our VIN-programming service eliminates that risk entirely. We configure the module for your car’s exact build sheet, making it the closest you can get to a brand-new, factory-installed part.”
Important Post-Installation Information
While our Programmed 15828601 BCM is designed for a straightforward installation, some vehicles may require one or more of the following procedures to be completed with a professional-grade scan tool after the BCM is installed:
- Airbag System Sync: If your airbag warning light is on after installation, a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure is necessary to sync the new BCM with the airbag system.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: A recalibration of the brake pedal position sensor may be required to ensure correct brake light and traction control operation.
Please consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician for vehicle-specific instructions.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is VIN programming so important for a BCM?
The BCM controls dozens of electronic features that vary from vehicle to vehicle. Programming the module with your VIN ensures it knows exactly which options your car has (e.g., power seats, specific lighting, keyless entry type), allowing everything to work correctly without conflicts.
What happens if I don’t provide my VIN?
We cannot ship the module without your vehicle’s VIN. The programming is the most critical part of this service and is essential for the part to function in your vehicle. Please provide your 17-digit VIN during or after checkout to avoid delays.
Is this a difficult part to install myself?
The physical replacement is often straightforward, typically involving unplugging the old module and plugging in the new one. However, the location varies (e.g., under the dash, behind the glove box). The main challenge can be the potential need for post-installation electronic procedures, which may require a professional scan tool. We recommend reviewing a repair guide for your specific model to assess the difficulty.
Will this fix my specific problem?
This BCM is a direct solution for failures within the module itself, which cause the symptoms listed above. While it resolves the vast majority of these issues, proper vehicle diagnostics are always recommended to rule out wiring or sensor problems before ordering.
How do I find my original part number?
Your original part number is printed on a sticker on the BCM itself. However, since this unit replaces many different part numbers, the most important thing is to confirm your vehicle is on our fitment list and to provide us with your VIN for correct programming.
