Restore Full Electrical Function to Your Vehicle
Is your Cadillac, Buick, or Chevrolet suffering from strange and unpredictable electrical problems? Issues like flickering lights, malfunctioning power windows, a faulty security system, or random warning indicators on your dash are often symptoms of a failing Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM acts as the central command center for your vehicle’s body electronics, and when it malfunctions, it can create a host of frustrating issues. This listing offers a straightforward, reliable solution: a replacement BCM programmed specifically for your vehicle, ensuring a seamless installation process.
From the Diagnostic Bay
We recently had a 2015 Chevy Malibu in the shop with a baffling set of symptoms. The radio would randomly turn off, the driver’s side turn signal worked intermittently, and the key fob would only lock the doors sometimes. The owner had already replaced the battery and checked every fuse with no luck. A full diagnostic scan revealed multiple communication error codes pointing to a network issue. Instead of chasing electrical gremlins for hours, our experience pointed us directly to the BCM. After confirming its power and ground connections were solid, we identified the module itself as the source of the problem. By providing a programmed replacement, we had the vehicle’s electronics operating perfectly again, saving the customer from a costly and time-consuming diagnostic ordeal at the dealership.
Common Symptoms of a Failing BCM
- ✔ Intermittent or non-working power windows, door locks, or mirrors.
- ✔ Erratic interior or exterior lighting, including headlights and dashboard lights.
- ✔ The security system or anti-theft light staying on, preventing the car from starting.
- ✔ Inconsistent operation of the horn, windshield wipers, or radio.
- ✔ False warning lights appearing on the instrument cluster (e.g., airbag, ABS).
- ✔ Key fob not responding correctly or at all.
- ✔ Communication errors with other vehicle modules (U-codes).

Post-Installation Procedures
While our programming makes this a plug-and-play part, some GM vehicles may require minor recalibration procedures after installation to ensure all systems communicate correctly. These can often be performed by a well-equipped independent shop or with a high-level bidirectional scan tool.
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is illuminated after installation, a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure is necessary to sync the airbag system with the new BCM. This is only required if the light is on.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: On some models, a brake pedal position sensor recalibration might be needed to ensure proper operation of the brake lights and traction control system.
Please consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician for vehicle-specific guidance.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does this programming service work?
After you place your order, you will ship your original Body Control Module to us. We then extract the vehicle-specific data from it and flash it onto the replacement module. This makes the new part a direct, plug-and-play replacement for your vehicle.
Will I need to visit a dealer for additional programming?
No. Our cloning service transfers all necessary information, including your VIN and key data. This eliminates the need for any additional programming from a dealer or locksmith.
What information is transferred from my old BCM?
We transfer the VIN, immobilizer (key) data, mileage, and specific electronic configurations for your vehicle’s options. This ensures all existing features and keys work correctly upon installation.
Is this part compatible with my vehicle?
This BCM fits many GM models from 2014-2017. Please check the extensive fitment list and cross-reference one of the compatible part numbers (e.g., 13580698, 13578458) with the number on your original module to guarantee a perfect match.
What if the airbag light comes on after I install it?
This is a known possibility on some GM vehicles. It simply means the new BCM needs to be electronically introduced to the airbag module. A technician with a professional scan tool can perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure to resolve this.
