Restore Your Vehicle’s Electrical System with a Programmed BCM
Is your 2013-2014 Chevrolet Orlando experiencing bizarre electrical issues like flickering lights, malfunctioning power windows, or even a no-start condition? The Body Control Module, or BCM, is the central command center for your vehicle’s body electronics. When it fails, it can cause a cascade of frustrating and seemingly unrelated problems. This isn’t just an inconvenience; it can affect the safety and reliability of your vehicle. Dealerships often charge a fortune for a new module plus hours of labor for programming. We offer a simple, cost-effective, and reliable solution.
Common Symptoms of a Failing BCM
A faulty BCM can manifest in numerous ways. If you’re noticing any of the following issues, your Body Control Module is the likely culprit. Diagnosing the problem correctly is the first step toward a lasting repair. Look out for these common warning signs:
- ✔ Intermittent or non-functional interior and exterior lights (headlights, dome lights, dash lights).
- ✔ Power windows, door locks, or mirrors behaving erratically or not working at all.
- ✔ The security system engaging randomly, preventing the vehicle from starting.
- ✔ Inaccurate or dead gauges on the instrument cluster.
- ✔ The horn honking unexpectedly or not working when needed.
- ✔ Problems with the heating and A/C blower motor controls.
- ✔ Warning lights appearing on the dash, such as the airbag or ABS light.

Installation and Post-Install Procedures
Physically installing your replacement 2013-2014 Orlando BCM is a direct swap. However, due to the complex integration of modern vehicle systems, a couple of minor electronic ‘handshake’ procedures may be necessary after the part is installed. These are standard procedures that a local shop can perform if needed.
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is illuminated after installation, a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure is required. This syncs the new BCM with the airbag system’s computer and must be done with a professional-grade scan tool.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: In some cases, a brake pedal position sensor recalibration may be needed to ensure proper function of the brake lights and traction control system.
Disclaimer: Specific procedures can vary by vehicle. Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician for guidance.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a BCM cloning service?
BCM cloning is a process where we extract the unique vehicle data—like key programming, VIN, and security settings—from your original module and write it onto a replacement module. This makes the replacement unit an exact electronic copy, allowing it to work in your vehicle without any further programming.
Why do I need to send you my original part?
Your original BCM contains the essential data that is specific to your vehicle. By sending it to us, you enable us to create a true plug-and-play solution, which saves you from needing to have the vehicle towed to a dealership for expensive programming.
What happens if my original BCM is too damaged to be read?
In most cases, even with significant internal failure, we can still retrieve the necessary data. In the rare event that your module is completely unreadable due to severe water or fire damage, we will contact you to discuss alternative options.
Is this a difficult part to install myself?
The physical installation is typically straightforward. The BCM is usually located under the dash or in a kick panel and is held in by a few bolts or clips. The main challenge is accessing it. Once installed, our programming ensures the electronic side is ready to go, though minor sync procedures may be needed as noted above.
How long does the programming service take?
We pride ourselves on a fast turnaround. Once we receive your original module, the cloning process is typically completed and shipped back out within 1-2 business days. You will receive a tracking number as soon as it ships.
