Plug & Play Solution for Your 2011-2013 Caprice BCM
Forget expensive trips to the dealership for programming. We take the hassle out of the repair by pre-programming this module specifically for your vehicle. Simply provide us with your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) during checkout, and we will flash the BCM with the latest GM-released software updates. This ensures perfect compatibility and function right out of the box. This is the most efficient way to get your car back to 100% without the need for specialized scan tools for initial setup.
Post-Installation Requirements
While this module is programmed for your VIN, some vehicle systems may require a ‘handshake’ procedure after installation. This is a normal part of the repair process.
- 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 your existing airbag system.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: On some models, a brake pedal position sensor relearn 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 procedures.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a BCM and what does it do?
The Body Control Module (BCM) is a computer in your vehicle that manages and controls electronic accessories not related to the engine, such as power windows, locks, lights, wipers, and the security system.
Do I need to get this module programmed by a dealer?
No. We pre-program the module to your vehicle’s VIN before shipping it to you. This makes the installation process much simpler, though some minor relearn procedures may be necessary post-installation.
Why do you need my VIN?
Your vehicle’s VIN allows us to load the exact software and settings your car was built with. This ensures all features and options specific to your vehicle work correctly with the new BCM.
What if my airbag light is on after I install the BCM?
This is a normal security measure. The new BCM needs to be electronically introduced to the airbag system (SDM). This requires a professional scan tool to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure to sync the modules and turn off the light.
Is there a core charge for this part?
No, there is no core charge. You can keep your old module.
