Restore Full Electrical Function to Your Vehicle
Is your Chevrolet Spark, Malibu, Volt, or other GM vehicle experiencing bizarre electrical issues? Flickering lights, malfunctioning power windows, a dead instrument cluster, or a security system that won’t cooperate are all classic signs of a failing Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM acts as the central command center for your car’s body electronics, and when it fails, it can create a host of frustrating and difficult-to-diagnose problems. Don’t let a faulty module keep you off the road. This replacement BCM, programmed specifically for your vehicle, is the definitive solution to restore order and reliability.
The Simple, Cost-Effective Solution: Our Cloning Service
Forget expensive dealership visits, towing fees, and complex programming procedures. Our unique service simplifies the entire repair process. You simply purchase this module, ship your original BCM to us, and we handle the rest. We extract the vital, vehicle-specific data—including VIN, mileage, and security information—from your original module and flash it directly onto this replacement unit. The result? You receive a true plug-and-play Spark Body Control Module that is ready for installation right out of the box, saving you hundreds of dollars and significant downtime.
From the Diagnostic Bay
We recently worked on a 2015 Chevy Spark EV that had its owner completely stumped. The car wouldn’t start intermittently, the horn would sound off randomly, and the interior lights had a mind of their own. The owner had already replaced the 12V battery and checked every fuse. After connecting our diagnostic scanner, we saw multiple communication errors pointing towards the BCM. Instead of a costly new module and programming at the dealer, we used our cloning service. We transferred the data from the old, failing BCM to a replacement unit. The customer installed it in their driveway in under 30 minutes, and every single electrical gremlin was gone. It’s a powerful fix for a complex problem.
Common Symptoms of a Failing BCM
- ✔ Erratic or non-functional interior and exterior lights (headlights, dome lights, dash lights).
- ✔ Power windows, door locks, or mirrors not working correctly.
- ✔ Vehicle’s anti-theft or security system malfunctioning or preventing the car from starting.
- ✔ False warning lights appearing on the instrument cluster (e.g., airbag, ABS, check engine).
- ✔ Wipers or radio turning on and off unexpectedly.
- ✔ Complete no-start condition where the starter does not engage.
- ✔ Inconsistent communication with diagnostic scan tools.

Important Post-Installation Information
While our programming service makes this a plug-and-play part, some vehicle systems may require a quick sync procedure after installation. Please be aware of the following:
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is illuminated after installation, a professional scan tool must be used to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure. This syncs the airbag system with the new BCM.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: On some models, a brake pedal position sensor recalibration might be necessary to ensure proper brake light and traction control functionality.
Specific procedures can vary by vehicle. Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician for guidance.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the programming service work?
After you place your order, we will contact you with instructions to ship your original BCM to us. Once we receive it, our technicians will transfer all the necessary data to the replacement module. We then ship the programmed module back to you, typically within 1-2 business days.
Will this BCM be truly plug-and-play?
Yes. Because we clone the data from your original unit, the replacement BCM will be recognized by your vehicle’s other computers. This eliminates the need for expensive dealership programming. In some rare cases, a simple relearn procedure may be needed as noted above.
What if my original BCM is damaged or unreadable?
If your BCM has significant physical or water damage, it may not be readable. Please contact us before ordering if you suspect this is the case. We can discuss alternative solutions to get your vehicle running again.
Do I need to send in my keys?
No. Since we are transferring the security data directly from your old BCM, your existing keys will work perfectly with the replacement module without any need for reprogramming.
Is there a core charge?
No, there is no core charge for this item. We only need your original module for the data transfer service.
