Is Your Vehicle Experiencing Strange Electrical Issues?
The Body Control Module (BCM) is the central command center for your vehicle’s electronic accessories. It manages everything from your power windows and door locks to the interior lights, security system, and even the horn. When the BCM starts to fail, it can create a cascade of confusing and frustrating problems that seem unrelated. Simply swapping a used BCM from another vehicle won’t work, as it’s programmed with specific data for the original car, including the VIN and anti-theft information. This is where our expert programming service comes in.
We provide a reliable, ready-to-install solution. By purchasing this service, you will send us your original BCM. Our technicians will then perform a full data transfer, or ‘cloning,’ of all essential information from your module to this replacement unit. The result is a BCM that is truly plug-and-play, saving you from expensive dealership programming fees and complex setup procedures.
Common Symptoms of a Failing BCM
- ā Erratic or non-functional power windows, door locks, and mirrors.
- ā Interior or exterior lights staying on, flickering, or not working at all.
- ā The security system engaging randomly or preventing the car from starting.
- ā Intermittent no-start conditions where the starter doesn’t engage.
- ā Key fob is not detected or works sporadically.
- ā Dashboard warning lights (like Airbag, ABS, or Traction Control) appearing without a clear cause.
- ā Horn sounding unexpectedly or failing to work when needed.

Important Post-Installation Procedures
While our cloning service makes this module plug-and-play, some vehicle systems may require a recalibration after the BCM has been replaced. These are simple procedures for a qualified technician with a professional scan tool.
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is on after installation, the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure is needed to sync the airbag system with the BCM. This is only required if the light is illuminated.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: A brake pedal position sensor recalibration might be necessary on some models to ensure correct brake light operation and to prevent issues with 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
What is a BCM cloning service?
BCM cloning is the process of transferring all the vehicle-specific dataālike the VIN, mileage, key information, and security settingsāfrom your original Body Control Module to a replacement unit. This makes the replacement module plug-and-play, avoiding the need for dealership reprogramming.
Why do I have to send my original module to you?
Your original BCM is the only source for your car’s unique electronic identity. To ensure the replacement module works perfectly with all existing components and security systems, we must extract this data directly from your old part.
Is this module truly plug-and-play after your service?
Yes, in over 99% of cases, the module is ready for immediate installation with no further programming. In rare instances, as noted above, a simple relearn procedure like an airbag sync or brake pedal position relearn may be required.
How long does the programming service take?
Our in-house processing time is typically 1-2 business days after we receive your original module. We then ship the programmed replacement back to you promptly.
What if my original BCM is completely dead or water damaged?
Even if your module is not communicating, we can often recover the necessary data. However, if it has suffered severe physical or water damage, data recovery may not be possible. Please contact us before ordering if your module is heavily damaged.
