Restore Full Electronic Functionality to Your Vehicle
Is your Cadillac ELR, Buick LaCrosse, or Chevy Malibu plagued by bizarre electrical problems? Flickering lights, malfunctioning power windows, a security system that acts on its own, or even a no-start condition can often be traced back to a single, critical component: the Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM is the central nervous system for your vehicle’s body electronics, managing everything from interior lighting and door locks to the anti-theft system. When it fails, it can create a cascade of frustrating and seemingly unrelated issues.
This listing is for a direct replacement Body Control Module, part number 13590851, which is professionally programmed using the data from your original unit. This cloning process ensures a seamless, plug-and-play installation, eliminating the need for expensive and time-consuming trips to the dealership for programming. By transferring your vehicle’s specific configuration, we guarantee that the replacement module will integrate perfectly with your existing systems.
From the Diagnostic Bay
We had a 2015 Chevy Malibu come into the shop with the owner at their wit’s end. The dome lights would stay on, the radio wouldn’t turn off with the key out, and the remote key fob worked intermittently. The customer had already replaced the battery and checked all the fuses. A quick scan showed multiple communication errors with the BCM. Instead of just selling them a new module that would require complex programming, we performed our cloning service. By transferring the data from their failing BCM to our replacement unit, the car was back to normal in under an hour after installation. It’s a perfect example of how a failing BCM can mimic a dozen other problems, and how the right solution saves time, money, and headaches.
Diagnosing a Faulty 2014-2016 ELR Body Control Module
A failing BCM can manifest in numerous ways, often making diagnosis tricky. If your vehicle is experiencing several of the following symptoms simultaneously, there is a high probability your BCM is the culprit. Our pre-programmed 2014-2016 ELR Body Control Module is the definitive solution to these problems.
Common Failure Symptoms
- ✔ Erratic or non-functional interior and exterior lights (headlights, dome lights, dash lights).
- ✔ Power windows, door locks, or mirrors operating intermittently or not at all.
- ✔ The security system or alarm randomly activating or preventing the car from starting.
- ✔ Key fobs that stop working or have a significantly reduced range.
- ✔ Dashboard warning lights appearing for no apparent reason (e.g., airbag, ABS).
- ✔ Horn honking unexpectedly or not working when pressed.
- ✔ Complete no-start condition where the engine does not crank.

Post-Installation Procedures
While our goal is a 100% plug-and-play experience, some vehicle systems may require a simple sync procedure after installation. Please be aware of the following possibilities:
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is illuminated after installation, a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure must be performed with a professional scan tool. This is only necessary if the light appears.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: On some models, a brake pedal position sensor recalibration may be needed to ensure correct brake light and traction control operation.
Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician for vehicle-specific guidance.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does this programming service work?
You purchase this listing and then ship your original BCM to us. We extract the vehicle-specific data from it and flash it onto the replacement module. We then ship the programmed module back to you, ready for installation.
Is this module truly plug-and-play?
Yes, in over 98% of cases. Because we clone your original data, the replacement BCM is a direct plug-in solution that requires no further programming. In rare cases, a simple relearn procedure like an airbag sync may be needed, which can be done with a professional scan tool.
What data is transferred during the cloning process?
We transfer all critical information, including the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), key fob data, security settings, and other vehicle-specific option configurations. This ensures all existing features and keys work correctly upon installation.
Do I need to send my keys along with the BCM?
No, you do not need to send your keys. All the necessary security information is stored within the BCM itself, and our cloning process will ensure your existing keys continue to work with the replacement module.
How long does the entire process take?
Once we receive your original module, our programming service is typically completed within 1-2 business days. The total time will depend on shipping times to and from our facility. We will provide you with a tracking number as soon as your programmed module is on its way back to you.
