Is Your GM Vehicle Experiencing Bizarre Electrical Problems?
If your 2015-2016 Chevrolet Impala, or another compatible GM model, is suffering from flickering lights, malfunctioning power windows, erratic dashboard warnings, or even a no-start condition, the culprit is often a failing Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM acts as the central command center for your vehicle’s body electronics, and when it starts to fail, it can cause a cascade of frustrating and seemingly unrelated issues. Don’t let a faulty module keep you off the road. This replacement BCM, part number 13592137, is the reliable solution to restore your vehicle’s full functionality.
Common Symptoms of a Failing BCM
- ✔ Intermittent or non-functional power windows, locks, or mirrors.
- ✔ Erratic behavior from interior or exterior lights (flickering, staying on, or not turning on).
- ✔ Dashboard warning lights illuminating for no reason (e.g., security, airbag, ABS).
- ✔ The horn sounding unexpectedly or not working at all.
- ✔ Problems with the climate control system.
- ✔ Key fob not being recognized, leading to starting issues.
- ✔ Rapid battery drain while the vehicle is parked.
The Simple Solution: Our BCM Programming Service
Replacing a BCM isn’t just about swapping the part. Modern BCMs are coded specifically to your vehicle’s Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and its unique set of options. A new module from the dealership requires expensive and time-consuming programming with specialized tools. Our service eliminates that hassle. We use your original BCM to clone all the necessary data—including VIN, mileage, and key information—onto this replacement unit. The result is a true plug-and-play module, ready for installation right out of the box, with no additional programming required.
How Our Cloning Service Works:
- ✔ Place Your Order: Complete your purchase for this BCM.
- ✔ We’ll Contact You: We will reach out with simple instructions and a shipping address for you to send us your original BCM.
- ✔ Send Us Your Module: Securely package and ship your original BCM to our facility.
- ✔ We Program Your Replacement: Upon arrival, our technicians will professionally transfer all the critical data from your original module to this replacement unit.
- ✔ We Ship It Back: We ship your newly programmed BCM back to you, typically within 1-2 business days, and provide you with tracking information.
Post-Installation Procedures for Your 2015-2016 Impala BCM
While our programming service makes installation as simple as possible, some GM vehicles may require minor recalibration procedures after the BCM is reconnected. These are standard steps that a technician can perform quickly.
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is on after installation, a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure must be performed with a professional scan tool. This syncs the new BCM with the airbag system.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: On some models, a brake pedal position sensor recalibration may be needed to ensure proper brake light and traction control operation.
Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician for vehicle-specific guidance.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a BCM cloning service?
BCM cloning is the process of reading the essential vehicle-specific data (like the VIN, key codes, and optional features) from your original module and writing it onto the replacement module. This makes the new BCM an exact digital copy of the old one, allowing it to work in your car without needing a trip to the dealer for expensive programming.
Do I need to send my original BCM?
Yes. For this service to work, you must ship your original BCM to us. We cannot program the replacement module without the data from your original part. We will contact you with shipping instructions after you place your order.
Is this BCM truly plug-and-play?
Yes, in 99% of cases. Because we clone your original data, the module is ready to be installed and function immediately. However, as noted, some vehicles may require a simple airbag sync or brake pedal position relearn, which can be done with a standard professional scan tool.
What if my original BCM is completely dead or not communicating?
In many cases, even if the BCM is failing, we can still extract the necessary data. If your module is severely damaged (e.g., by fire or water), please contact us before ordering to discuss potential options.
How long does the programming service take?
Once we receive your original module, our programming and testing process typically takes 1-2 business days. We will then ship the programmed replacement BCM back to you.
