Restore full electrical functionality to your vehicle with our professionally programmed Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM is the central command center for your car’s body electronics, managing everything from power windows and locks to interior lighting and the security system. When it begins to fail, it can cause a cascade of confusing and frustrating electrical gremlins that are often difficult to diagnose.
This BCM is a direct-fit replacement for your 2011-2013 Chevrolet Caprice and a wide range of other GM vehicles. We take the guesswork out of the repair by pre-programming the module to your vehicle’s specific VIN, ensuring it arrives with the latest GM software updates. This eliminates the need for an expensive trip to the dealership for programming.
Common Symptoms of a Failing BCM
- ✔ Erratic power window or power lock operation
- ✔ Interior or exterior lights flickering, staying on, or not working at all
- ✔ Malfunctioning instrument cluster gauges or warning lights
- ✔ Security system engaging randomly or preventing the car from starting
- ✔ Radio, climate control, or other accessories not functioning correctly
- ✔ A/C compressor not engaging

Installation and Post-Install Procedures
Installation is straightforward for those with mechanical experience. However, please be aware of potential post-installation requirements:
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is illuminated 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: Some models may require a brake pedal position sensor relearn to ensure proper brake light and traction control operation.
Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician for vehicle-specific guidance.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Body Control Module (BCM)?
The BCM is a computer in your vehicle responsible for managing and controlling electronic accessories not related to the engine, such as power windows, locks, lights, wipers, and the security system.
Why do you need my VIN?
Your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) allows us to program the BCM with the exact software and settings for your car’s specific features and options. This ensures the module works correctly right out of the box.
Is this part difficult to install?
The physical replacement is typically straightforward, involving unplugging the old module and plugging in the new one. However, some models may require additional electronic relearn procedures with a scan tool after installation, as noted in the description.
Do I need to return my old BCM?
No, there is no core charge for this part. You can keep your original module.
What if my airbag light turns on after I install this?
This can happen. It means the new BCM needs to be electronically introduced to the airbag system. A technician with a professional diagnostic tool will need to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure to resolve this.
