Are you experiencing a cascade of frustrating electrical issues in your sophisticated Cadillac ELR or GM vehicle? From flickering lights and unresponsive power windows to intermittent starting problems, a failing Body Control Module (BCM) can disrupt your vehicle’s entire nervous system. This isn’t just an inconvenience; it’s a compromise on the comfort and reliability you expect. We offer a professional, streamlined solution: a fully programmed Body Control Module, cloned directly from your original unit, to restore your vehicle’s precise functionality and get you back on the road with confidence.
Common Symptoms & Your Solution
A faulty BCM can manifest in numerous ways, often leaving owners and even technicians chasing electronic ghosts. If you’re noticing any of the following, your BCM is the likely culprit:
- Erratic or non-functional interior and exterior lights
- Power windows, locks, or mirrors operating intermittently or not at all
- Instrument cluster warning lights illuminating without cause
- Vehicle security system malfunctions or false alarms
- Intermittent no-start conditions where the engine cranks but won’t fire
- Communication errors with other vehicle modules (DTCs like U-codes)
Our service provides a definitive fix. By purchasing this listing, you are getting a replacement BCM that has been expertly programmed with the exact data from your original module. This makes our Programmed 2014-2016 Cadillac ELR Body Control Module a true plug-and-play solution, eliminating the need for costly dealership visits for programming and key relearning procedures.

Expert Insight: The Power of Precision Cloning
For a technologically advanced vehicle like the Cadillac ELR, a generic ‘programmed’ module often falls short. These vehicles have dozens of specific software configurations tied to their VIN for features like the advanced hybrid system, lighting packages, and driver aids. Our cloning service is not just a simple data transfer; it’s a mirror-image replication of your BCM’s entire software environment. This meticulous process ensures every single setting is preserved, preventing the compatibility conflicts and persistent error codes that can arise from dealership-programmed units that may not account for your vehicle’s unique history and configuration. It’s the most reliable way to ensure your car operates exactly as it did when it left the factory.
Post-Installation Procedures
While our goal is a seamless installation, some vehicle systems may require a simple sync procedure after the BCM is replaced. Please be aware of the following possibilities:
- Airbag System Sync: In some cases, the airbag warning light may illuminate after installation. A professional scan tool is needed to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure to sync the modules and clear the light.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: A recalibration of the brake pedal position sensor may be necessary to ensure correct brake light operation and traction control system performance.
Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician for vehicle-specific guidance.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does this cloning service work?
It’s a simple three-step process. 1) You purchase this service and we provide you with shipping instructions. 2) You ship your original BCM to our facility. 3) We clone all the critical data to a fully tested replacement module and ship it back to you, ready for installation.
Do I need to send my keys or any other parts?
No. We only need your original Body Control Module. Our cloning process transfers all the necessary key and security data directly from the module itself, so your existing keys will work perfectly upon reinstallation.
Is this compatible with my vehicle?
This service is for the BCM with part number 13580698 and the other compatible part numbers listed in the description. It fits a range of 2014-2017 GM vehicles including the Cadillac ELR, LaCrosse, Malibu, Volt, and more. Please verify your part number before ordering.
What happens if I install it and a warning light comes on?
As noted in the description, certain systems like the airbag (SRS) or brake sensors may require a relearn or sync procedure using a professional scan tool after the BCM is replaced. This is a standard procedure and does not indicate a fault with the module.
Why is this better than buying a new BCM from the dealer?
Our service for a Programmed 2014-2016 Cadillac ELR Body Control Module is significantly more cost-effective and ensures a true plug-and-play experience. A new dealer module requires expensive programming and key relearning, while our cloning method preserves all your car’s original settings for a seamless transition.
