Get Your Truck Back on the Road, Fast.
Are you dealing with frustrating electrical gremlins in your GM truck or van? Flickering lights, power windows with a mind of their own, a security system that won’t cooperate, or even a vehicle that refuses to start can all point to a failing Body Control Module (BCM). These issues don’t just cause headaches; they cause downtime. For a vehicle you rely on daily, that’s simply not an option. This is the definitive, hassle-free solution to restore your vehicle’s critical functions and get you back to work with confidence.
Common Symptoms & Your Direct-Fit Solution
A failing BCM can manifest in numerous ways, often seeming random and difficult to diagnose. If you’re experiencing any of the following, a faulty module is the likely culprit:
- Intermittent or non-functional power windows, door locks, or interior lights.
- Erratic instrument cluster behavior or warning lights (like the security light).
- Problems with the radio or HVAC controls.
- A no-start condition where the engine cranks but won’t fire up due to the anti-theft system.
- Communication-related Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs), often starting with ‘U’.
Instead of paying for expensive dealership diagnostics and programming fees, our Programmed 15194169 BCM arrives at your door ready for installation. We take your vehicle’s VIN and flash the module with the latest, most stable software from GM, ensuring it communicates perfectly with your truck’s existing systems right out of the box.

An Expert’s Note: From a Stranded Work Truck to a Reliable Partner
We recently worked with a contractor whose 2005 Silverado 2500 was becoming a liability. The security light would flash randomly, preventing the truck from starting and leaving him stranded at job sites. After replacing other parts with no success, he was facing a costly tow to the dealership. He ordered our Programmed 15194169 BCM, provided his VIN, and had the part in two days. He installed it in under an hour in his own driveway. The truck started on the first try and has run flawlessly ever since. He didn’t just fix his truck; he eliminated a major source of stress and potential lost income.

Important Post-Installation Information
While this Programmed 15194169 BCM is designed for a simple installation, some vehicles may require one or two final calibration steps with a professional scan tool to ensure all systems function correctly.
- Airbag System Sync: If your airbag warning light is on after installation, a simple “Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM” procedure is needed to sync the new BCM with the airbag system.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: On some models, a brake pedal position sensor recalibration may be necessary for proper brake light and traction control operation.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a BCM and what does it do?
The Body Control Module (BCM) is a central computer in your vehicle that manages a wide range of electronic functions not related to the engine. This includes power windows, door locks, interior and exterior lighting, the anti-theft system, wipers, and instrument panel warnings.
Is this part truly plug-and-play?
Yes, for the most part. Because we program it to your VIN, it avoids the mandatory dealer programming. You can install it yourself and the vehicle will start and run. However, as noted above, some vehicles may require a simple relearn procedure for the airbag or brake systems, which requires a bi-directional scan tool.
How do I provide my VIN?
After you complete your purchase, you will need to send us your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). We cannot program and ship your BCM without it. You can typically add it as a note during checkout or send it to us in a message referencing your order number.
What happens if I don’t do the airbag or brake relearn procedures?
If the relearn procedures are required for your vehicle and are not performed, you may have a persistent airbag warning light on your dash, or your brake lights may not function correctly. We strongly recommend performing these steps if needed for safety and proper vehicle operation.
Do I need to send my old BCM back?
No. This product comes with no core charge. You are free to keep or dispose of your original module as you see fit.
