Restore Your GM Vehicle’s Electrical System with a VIN-Programmed BCM

Are you chasing electrical gremlins in your 2012 Captiva Sport or another GM vehicle? Intermittent power windows, door locks with a mind of their own, or dashboard lights flickering randomly are classic signs of a failing Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM is the central command center for your vehicle’s body electronics. When it starts to fail, it can cause a cascade of confusing and frustrating issues. This isn’t just an inconvenience; it can affect vehicle security and safety systems.

We offer a straightforward and reliable solution. This Body Control Module is professionally flashed with the latest GM software updates and programmed specifically to your vehicle’s VIN before it ships. This means you get a part that is ready for installation right out of the box, eliminating the need for an expensive trip to the dealership for programming. It’s the most efficient way to get your vehicle back to 100% functionality.

Common Signs of a Failing BCM

If your vehicle is exhibiting any of these symptoms, a faulty BCM could be the culprit. A failing module often won’t store a specific trouble code for itself, but it can cause communication codes like U0140, U0155, or U0164.

• ✔ Power windows, mirrors, or door locks operating erratically or not at all.
• ✔ Interior or exterior lights flickering, staying on, or not turning on.
• ✔ The security system acting up, causing no-start conditions or false alarms.
• ✔ The horn sounding unexpectedly.
• ✔ Dashboard warning lights (like ABS or Airbag) illuminating for no reason.
• ✔ Problems with the climate control system.

A Straightforward Guide to Installation

Installing your new 2012 Captiva Sport BCM is a manageable job for a DIY enthusiast. The key is taking your time and being methodical. For the Captiva Sport, the BCM is typically located in the center dash area.

1. Safety First: Always disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery and wait about 10 minutes to allow all systems to power down completely.
2. Locate the BCM: Access the BCM. This may require removing some dash trim panels. The location is specified for each model in our fitment list below.
3. Disconnect and Remove: Carefully unplug the electrical connectors. Most have a locking tab that needs to be depressed. Once disconnected, unbolt or unclip the old BCM and remove it.
4. Install the New Module: Mount your new, pre-programmed BCM in the same position as the old one. Securely plug in all electrical connectors, making sure they click into place.
5. Reconnect Power: Re-attach the negative battery terminal.
6. Perform Relearns: Start the vehicle. In some cases, you may need to perform additional procedures as outlined below if warning lights appear.

Important Post-Installation Information

Because this BCM arrives programmed, many vehicles will not require any further steps. However, depending on your exact model and options, some security and sensor systems may need to be re-synced.

• 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: Some models may require a brake pedal position sensor recalibration to ensure brake lights and traction control function correctly.
• No Core Charge: You are not required to return your old BCM. This saves you the time, hassle, and expense of a core return.
