Restore Your Cadillac’s Sophisticated Electronics
Are you experiencing frustrating and unpredictable electrical problems in your 2006-2011 Cadillac DTS? Flickering lights, unresponsive power windows or locks, a security system that acts on its own, or even a vehicle that refuses to start can all point to a failing Body Control Module (BCM). This component is the central command center for your car’s body electronics, and when it falters, it can disrupt the luxury and convenience you expect. Restore full functionality and peace of mind with our pre-programmed BCM, designed to be a direct, hassle-free solution.
Common Symptoms & Your Solution
A faulty BCM can manifest in numerous ways. If you’re noticing any of the following, this module is the definitive fix:
- Intermittent or non-working power windows, door locks, and interior lights.
- Erratic instrument cluster behavior or warning lights that stay on.
- Problems with the anti-theft or keyless entry systems.
- Communication issues that may trigger Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) like U-codes (e.g., U0140, U0155).
- A no-start condition where the engine cranks but won’t turn over due to security system confusion.
Our module solves these issues by providing a fully functional, reliable replacement that integrates seamlessly with your vehicle’s existing systems.

Expert Insight: The Importance of VIN-Specific Programming
In a sophisticated vehicle like a Cadillac DTS, the BCM doesn’t just operate components—it communicates constantly with the Engine Control Module (ECM), Transmission Control Module (TCM), and airbag system (SDM). Generic, unprogrammed modules can’t establish these critical communication handshakes, leading to system conflicts and persistent errors. By programming the module to your exact VIN, we ensure it has the correct software and security credentials to integrate perfectly, just like the original factory part. This is the key to a successful and lasting repair.
Important Post-Installation Information
While this 2006-2011 Cadillac DTS Body Control Module is programmed for a straightforward installation, some vehicle systems may require a simple recalibration procedure after the new BCM is installed. Please be aware of the following potential requirements:
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is illuminated after installation, a professional scan tool is needed to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure. This syncs the new BCM with the airbag module.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: In some cases, a brake pedal position sensor recalibration may be necessary to ensure proper operation of the brake lights and stability control systems.

Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly does the Body Control Module do?
The BCM is a computer that acts as the central hub for your vehicle’s body-related electronic accessories. It controls functions like power windows, power mirrors, air conditioning, power door locks, interior and exterior lighting, and the anti-theft system.
Is this module truly plug-and-play?
Yes, for most vehicles. Because we program it with your car’s VIN, it is ready to be installed without needing a trip to the dealer. However, as noted above, some models may require a simple relearn procedure for the airbag or brake pedal position sensor, which can be done with a professional 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 will then program the module before shipping it to you. We cannot ship the part until we receive your VIN.
What if my airbag light comes on after installation?
This is a known possibility. It simply means the new BCM needs to be electronically ‘introduced’ to your vehicle’s airbag module. A qualified technician with a high-end diagnostic tool can perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure to resolve this.
Do I need to send my old BCM back?
No, there is no core charge for this part. You can keep your original module.
