Our VIN programming service isn’t just a convenience—it’s a critical step that ensures the module communicates perfectly with your Escalade’s other computers, just as it did from the factory. This is the only way to guarantee a correct and lasting repair.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Body Control Module do in my Escalade?
The BCM is a computer that acts as the central hub for your vehicle’s body electronics. It controls non-engine related functions like your power windows, door locks, interior and exterior lights, security system, climate controls, and wipers.
Is this module truly plug-and-play?
Yes. Because we pre-program the module to your vehicle’s specific VIN, it is ready for installation right out of the box. In most cases, no further programming is required. However, some vehicles may require a simple relearn procedure for certain systems, like the airbag (SDM) or brake pedal position sensor, which may require a professional scan tool.
Where is the BCM located on a 2003-2006 Escalade?
On the Cadillac Escalade and similar GM SUVs/trucks from this era, the Body Control Module is typically located under the driver’s side dashboard, near the steering column. It’s a black box with several large electrical connectors.
Do I need to return my old BCM?
No, there is no core charge for this part. You can keep or dispose of your original module at your convenience, which simplifies the entire process for you.
Will this fix my airbag light?
If the airbag light is caused by a communication error with the BCM (like DTC B1001), this module will resolve the root cause. After installation, if the light remains, a technician may need to perform a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure with a diagnostic tool to sync the new BCM with the airbag system.
Is this the correct part for my vehicle?
This 2003-2006 Cadillac Escalade Body Control Module is a direct replacement for part number 15136225 and many others listed in the description. Please verify the part number from your original unit or consult the fitment list to ensure compatibility.
