Restore Full Electrical Function to Your Vehicle
Are you battling frustrating and unpredictable electrical issues in your Chevrolet Volt, Buick LaCrosse, or Cadillac SRX? Symptoms like flickering lights, unresponsive power windows, a malfunctioning security system, or random warning lights on your dash are often signs of a failing Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM acts as the central command center for your vehicle’s body electronics, and when it fails, it can cause a cascade of confusing problems. Don’t let a faulty module keep your car off the road. Our professionally programmed BCM provides a reliable, direct-fit solution to get your vehicle’s electronics working flawlessly again.
Common Symptoms of a Failing BCM
A failing Body Control Module can manifest in numerous ways. If you’re experiencing any of the following issues, a faulty BCM is the likely culprit:
- ✔ Intermittent or completely non-functional power windows, door locks, or mirrors.
- ✔ Erratic behavior from interior and exterior lights, such as headlights or dome lights staying on or not turning on at all.
- ✔ The horn, windshield wipers, or radio working sporadically or not at all.
- ✔ The anti-theft or security system activating without reason, potentially causing a no-start condition.
- ✔ False warning indicators illuminating on the instrument cluster (e.g., airbag, ABS, or traction control lights).
- ✔ Communication error codes (U-codes) when scanned with a diagnostic tool.
From the Diagnostic Bay
We had a 2015 Chevy Volt come into the shop with a classic ‘haunted car’ complaint. The owner said the alarm would go off in the middle of the night, the radio would sometimes refuse to turn on, and the driver’s side window had a mind of its own. We scanned the vehicle and found a dozen communication codes pointing to a network failure. Instead of chasing wires for hours, we went straight to the BCM in the right-hand engine compartment. We found tell-tale signs of moisture intrusion along the main connector. By providing a cloned 2014-2015 Volt BCM, we had all the electrical systems restored and the customer back on the road the same day, saving them a tow to the dealership and hundreds in diagnostic and programming fees.

Post-Installation Procedures
Our cloning service makes this a plug-and-play repair for most vehicles. However, in some cases, a vehicle’s interconnected systems may require a simple synchronization procedure after the new BCM is installed. These do not require a trip to the dealer and can often be performed with a high-level bidirectional scan tool.
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is illuminated after installation, the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure may be needed to sync the airbag system with the new BCM.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: A brake pedal position sensor recalibration might be necessary on some models to ensure correct brake light operation and traction control performance.
Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician for vehicle-specific procedures.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I need to send my original BCM to you?
We transfer the unique programming and security data from your original module to the replacement. This makes the new BCM a true plug-and-play part, saving you from expensive dealership programming and key relearning procedures.
How long does the programming service take?
We typically complete the cloning process and ship your modules back to you within 1-2 business days of receiving your original BCM.
Will my existing keys work with the new module?
Yes! Because we clone your original data, the replacement BCM will recognize your existing keys without any additional programming required.
What if my original BCM is damaged by water or fire?
In most cases, even with significant physical damage, our technicians can still extract the necessary data. If we encounter a rare case where the data is completely irretrievable, we will contact you immediately to discuss your options.
Is this part difficult to install myself?
For the Chevy Volt, the BCM is located in the right-hand side of the engine compartment and is accessible for a DIYer with basic tools. The physical swap is straightforward. Always remember to disconnect the vehicle’s battery before beginning any work.
Is there a core charge for this part?
No, there is no core charge. We require your original module for the data transfer service, after which we will return it to you along with the newly programmed replacement.
