Tired of Unpredictable Electrical Problems?
Are you dealing with flickering lights, power windows with a mind of their own, a security light that won’t turn off, or a car that intermittently refuses to start? These frustrating and unpredictable issues often point to a single culprit: a failing Body Control Module (BCM). In modern GM vehicles like your Terrain or Equinox, the BCM is the central hub for your car’s body electronics. When it fails, it can create a cascade of annoying and hard-to-diagnose problems. This isn’t just an inconvenience; it’s a matter of reliability and confidence in your vehicle.
Common Symptoms & Your Solution
A faulty BCM can manifest in numerous ways. If you’re experiencing any of the following, our pre-programmed BCM is the definitive solution you’ve been looking for:
- Erratic or non-functional power windows, door locks, and interior lights
- Instrument cluster gauges behaving strangely or not working at all
- The security or anti-theft system light stays on, preventing the car from starting
- Remote keyless entry works intermittently or not at all
- Diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) related to communication errors (U-codes)
- Inaccurate fuel gauge readings or other sensor-related issues
Our professional cloning service for this Programmed 13586273 BCM takes the guesswork and high dealership costs out of the repair. We transfer the unique, vehicle-specific data from your original module to this replacement unit, ensuring it integrates perfectly with your car’s existing systems.

Expert Insight: Why Cloning is a Must
Back in the day, you could often swap electronic modules between cars. Not anymore. The BCM in your vehicle is like a digital fingerprint, coded specifically to communicate with the engine computer, transmission module, and even your keys. Simply installing a used BCM will cause a communication breakdown, and your car won’t start. Our cloning service is the modern, correct way to perform this repair. We perform a precise, bit-for-bit data transfer, creating a true electronic ‘twin’ of your original module. This is the secret to a successful, hassle-free installation.
Important Post-Installation Steps
While our Programmed 13586273 BCM is designed for a simple installation, some vehicles may require one or more of the following procedures to ensure all systems are perfectly synchronized:
- 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 new BCM with the airbag system.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: On certain models, a brake pedal position sensor recalibration might be necessary to ensure correct brake light operation and to prevent issues with the traction control system.
Please Note: Specific procedures can vary. Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician for guidance.
Frequently Asked Questions
How exactly does this cloning service work?
It’s simple. 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 ready-to-install module back to you, typically within 1-2 business days of receiving your original part.
Will this definitely fix my car’s problem?
This module will correct any issues directly caused by a faulty BCM. While the symptoms listed are very common for BCM failure, we always recommend a proper diagnosis by a qualified mechanic to confirm the BCM is the root cause before ordering.
How difficult is the installation process?
The physical installation is straightforward for someone with basic mechanical skills, as the Programmed 13586273 BCM arrives ready to be plugged in. However, as noted, some vehicles may require additional electronic ‘relearn’ procedures with a professional scan tool for the airbag or brake systems after installation.
What part numbers is this compatible with?
This module is a direct replacement for the following part numbers: 13584695, 13586273, 13580697, 13588447, 13589197, 13589324, and 13589325.
What is the total turnaround time?
The total time depends on shipping. Once we receive your original module, our programming service is completed within 24-48 hours. We then ship the replacement back to you, and you will receive a tracking number at that time.
What if the airbag light comes on after I install it?
This is a known possibility. It simply means the new BCM needs to be electronically introduced to the airbag module (SDM). A repair shop with a high-end diagnostic tool can perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure to resolve this.
