Restore Your Vehicle’s Electrical System with a Plug-and-Play Solution
Are you experiencing a cascade of bizarre electrical issues in your Chevrolet Volt, Buick LaCrosse, or Cadillac SRX? Problems like malfunctioning power windows, flickering lights, erratic security system behavior, or random warning messages on your dash are often traced back to a single, critical component: the Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM acts as the central command center for your vehicle’s body electronics, and when it begins to fail, it can create frustrating and difficult-to-diagnose problems. This listing offers a straightforward, reliable solution: a replacement BCM programmed specifically for your vehicle, eliminating the need for expensive dealership programming.
Common Symptoms of a Failing BCM
- ✔ Intermittent or non-functional power windows, door locks, or mirrors.
- ✔ Interior or exterior lights that stay on, flicker, or don’t work at all.
- ✔ The vehicle’s security system engaging randomly or preventing the car from starting.
- ✔ False warnings appearing on the instrument cluster (e.g., ‘Service Airbag System’).
- ✔ Unexplained battery drain that leaves you with a dead battery overnight.
- ✔ Horn, wipers, or other accessories activating on their own.
- ✔ Communication errors with diagnostic scan tools.
How Our BCM Programming Service Works
Modern vehicles require modules to be coded to the specific VIN and options of the car they are installed in. You can’t simply swap a used BCM from another vehicle. Our professional cloning service makes this process simple and guarantees compatibility.
- Place Your Order: Complete your purchase through our secure checkout.
- We Contact You: We will reach out with clear, simple instructions on how to ship your original BCM to our facility.
- Ship Your Module: Carefully package and send us your original BCM.
- The Cloning Process: Our technicians will expertly extract all critical data—including VIN, key information, and security protocols—from your module and flash it onto the replacement unit.
- Receive Your Solution: We ship your original module and the ready-to-install replacement BCM back to you. The replacement is now 100% plug-and-play for your vehicle.
Understanding Your 2014-2015 Volt Body Control Module
The 2014-2015 Volt Body Control Module is a sophisticated computer that manages a vast network of electronic components. In a technologically advanced vehicle like the Volt, its role is even more critical, integrating with the hybrid powertrain systems, charging functions, and driver-information displays. A fully functional BCM is essential for the reliability and safety of your vehicle. Our service ensures that this vital component is restored to perfect working order without disrupting the complex systems it controls.
Post-Installation Procedures
While our programming service makes this a plug-and-play installation, some GM vehicles may require minor recalibration procedures after the new BCM is installed. These are typically simple and can sometimes be required after a battery disconnect.
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is on after installation, a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure is needed. This syncs the new BCM with the airbag system’s Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM) and requires a professional-grade scan tool. This is only necessary if the light appears.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: On some models, a brake pedal position sensor recalibration might be necessary to ensure correct brake light operation and to satisfy the 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
Why can’t I just buy a used BCM and install it?
BCMs are programmed with your car’s specific Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), key fob data, and security information. A used module from another car won’t recognize your keys or other systems, and the vehicle will not function correctly or may not start at all. Our cloning service makes the replacement module an exact digital copy of your original, ensuring seamless integration.
What is the turnaround time for the programming service?
We typically program and ship your replacement module within 1-2 business days of receiving your original BCM. You will receive tracking information as soon as your parts are on their way back to you.
Is this a difficult part to replace myself?
For someone with basic mechanical skills, the physical replacement is straightforward. The location varies by model (e.g., RH engine compartment on the Volt, LH kick panel on the LaCrosse). Because our module is pre-programmed, you completely avoid the complex and tool-intensive software procedures, making the job much easier for a DIYer or independent shop.
What if my original BCM is completely dead or water damaged?
In most cases, even if a BCM has failed, we can still extract the necessary data for cloning. If you suspect your module has severe water damage or is completely non-responsive, please contact us before ordering to discuss the specific situation and ensure we can successfully recover the data.
What if the airbag light comes on after I install it?
This can happen occasionally. It means the new BCM needs to be electronically ‘introduced’ to the airbag system module (SDM). A repair shop with a high-level scan tool can perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure in a few minutes to resolve this and turn off the light.
