Restore Your Vehicle’s Electrical System with Confidence
Are you dealing with frustrating and unpredictable electrical issues in your 2012 Chevrolet Captiva Sport? Flickering lights, malfunctioning power windows, a security system that acts on its own, or strange warning lights on your dash are all common signs of a failing Body Control Module (BCM). These problems can make your daily drive stressful and unreliable. This isn’t just an inconvenience; it’s a matter of safety and functionality. Our pre-programmed BCM is the definitive, hassle-free solution to restore your vehicle’s electronic brain and get you back on the road with peace of mind.
Common Symptoms & Your Solution
A failing BCM can cause a wide range of confusing symptoms. If you’re experiencing any of the following, this module is the solution you need:
- Interior or exterior lights that won’t turn on or off
- Power windows, door locks, or mirrors operating erratically or not at all
- The security system engaging randomly or preventing the car from starting
- Warning lights (like the airbag or brake light) appearing on the dashboard
- Communication error codes (U-codes) when scanned with a diagnostic tool
Instead of paying for expensive diagnostic time and programming fees at a dealership, our 2012 Captiva Sport programmed BCM arrives at your door ready for installation. We take care of the complex programming for you, matching the module to your vehicle’s specific VIN and loading it with the latest GM software updates.

An Expert’s Insight: As a technician, I’ve seen countless hours wasted trying to diagnose bizarre electrical gremlins that all trace back to a faulty BCM. In the past, the only option was a new module from the dealer, followed by a mandatory, and expensive, programming session. A pre-programmed module like this is a game-changer. It eliminates the guesswork and the need for specialized factory tools, empowering both experienced DIYers and professional shops to complete the job efficiently and correctly the first time. It turns a potentially complex electronic repair into a straightforward component replacement.
Frequently Asked Questions
What information do you need from me to program the BCM?
After you complete your purchase, you will need to provide us with your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN (Vehicle Identification Number). This is crucial for us to flash the module with the correct software and calibration for your specific Captiva Sport.
Is this part difficult to install?
The physical installation is typically straightforward for someone with basic mechanical skills, as the module is designed to be a direct replacement. The key benefit of our 2012 Captiva Sport programmed BCM is that the most difficult part—the software programming—is already done for you. However, please note that some models may require a simple ‘relearn’ procedure for the brake pedal position sensor or airbag system, which may require a professional scan tool.
Do I need to send my original BCM back to you?
No. This product comes with no core charge. You can keep, recycle, or dispose of your original module at your convenience.
What if my airbag light comes on after installation?
In some cases, the new BCM needs to be synced with the airbag system’s Supplemental Deployment Module (SDM). This is a security feature. If the airbag light is on after installation, a procedure called ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ will need to be performed with a compatible high-level diagnostic tool to turn off the light.
Will this module fit other GM vehicles?
Yes, this BCM is compatible with a wide range of GM vehicles, including models of the Equinox, Impala, Acadia, various Express/Savana vans, and more. Please check the comprehensive fitment list on this page to confirm compatibility with your specific make, model, and year.
How does the warranty work?
This unit is backed by our one-year replacement warranty. In the unlikely event of a defect within one year of purchase, we will provide a replacement part to get you back on the road.
