Restore Full Functionality to Your GM Vehicle’s Electronics
Is your 2015-2016 GM vehicle experiencing bizarre electrical issues? Problems like flickering lights, malfunctioning power windows and locks, or an instrument cluster that seems to have a mind of its own 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 cause a cascade of frustrating and difficult-to-diagnose problems. This service provides a reliable, programmed replacement BCM, part number 13587704, to get your vehicle back in perfect working order without the exorbitant costs and hassle of dealership programming.
The Simple, Cost-Effective Solution for a Faulty 2015-2016 GM BCM
Instead of purchasing a new, unprogrammed module and paying for expensive dealership labor, our service simplifies the entire process. We perform a direct data transfer, or ‘cloning,’ from your original BCM to this replacement unit. This process copies all the vital vehicle-specific information, including the VIN, key fob programming, and factory-installed options. The result is a module that is truly plug-and-play, ready for immediate installation upon arrival. It’s the smartest way to solve complex BCM issues.
Common Symptoms of a Failing BCM
- ✔ Erratic or non-working power windows, door locks, and mirrors.
- ✔ Interior or exterior lights that stay on, flicker, or won’t turn on at all.
- ✔ The security system or alarm randomly activating or not working correctly.
- ✔ False warning lights appearing on the instrument cluster (e.g., ‘Service Theft System’).
- ✔ Key fobs that stop working or function intermittently.
- ✔ Unexplained battery drain that kills the battery overnight.
- ✔ Intermittent no-start conditions where the engine cranks but won’t fire.

Post-Installation Procedures
While our goal is a 100% plug-and-play experience, some GM systems require a ‘handshake’ after a new module is introduced. Please be aware of the following potential procedures:
- 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 syncs the new BCM with the airbag system.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: On some models, a brake pedal position sensor recalibration may be necessary to ensure proper brake light and traction control functionality.
Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician for vehicle-specific guidance.
Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly is a Body Control Module (BCM)?
The BCM is a computer in your vehicle that controls and monitors a wide range of electronic accessories not related to the engine, such as power windows, locks, lights, wipers, and the security system.
Why do I need to send you my original BCM?
Your original BCM contains unique data specific to your vehicle’s VIN, security information, and optional features. By cloning this data, we ensure the replacement module works perfectly with your vehicle’s existing systems without needing a trip to the dealer for programming.
Is this a guaranteed plug-and-play solution?
Yes, in over 99% of cases, the module is completely plug-and-play. In rare instances, as noted above, a simple relearn procedure like an airbag sync may be required, which can be done by most automotive repair shops.
How long does the service take?
Once we receive your original module, the programming and processing time is typically just 1-2 business days before we ship the replacement unit back to you.
