Restore Full Electrical Function to Your Cadillac DTS
Are you dealing with baffling electrical gremlins in your 2006-2011 Cadillac DTS? One minute the power windows work, the next they don’t. The radio might shut off randomly, or dashboard lights flicker without reason. These frustrating and unpredictable issues often point to a single culprit: a failing Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM is the central nervous system for your vehicle’s body electronics, and when it starts to fail, it can make your luxury car feel unreliable. Instead of facing a costly trip to the dealership for a new module and programming fees, we offer a straightforward, reliable solution.
This is a comprehensive Cloning Service for your BCM. Here’s how it works: You send us your original, faulty BCM. Our expert technicians will perform a 1-to-1 data transfer, copying all the essential vehicle-specific information—including security keys, VIN, and optional feature settings—to a fully functional replacement module. We then ship both your original module and the ready-to-install replacement back to you. The result is a true plug-and-play part that restores your car’s functionality without any additional programming required. This is the most efficient way to solve the problem and get your 2006-2011 DTS BCM working as it should.
A Technician’s Notebook: The DTS with a Mind of Its Own
I remember a 2009 Cadillac DTS that came into the shop with a list of complaints that seemed completely unrelated. The owner said the interior lights would sometimes stay on, the driver’s side power seat would stop working for days at a time, and the security light was flashing intermittently. He had already replaced the battery and checked all the fuses. After connecting the scan tool, I saw a handful of ‘loss of communication’ codes (U-codes) pointing to the BCM. Instead of a complex rewiring job, we performed a cloning service. The customer received the cloned module, plugged it in himself in under 30 minutes, and called back ecstatic. All the bizarre issues were gone. It’s a classic case of how a failing BCM can cause chaos, and how a simple cloned part can be the perfect fix.
Is Your Vehicle Showing These Symptoms?
- ✔ Erratic or non-functional power windows, door locks, or mirrors.
- ✔ Interior or exterior lights that don’t work correctly or stay on.
- ✔ The security system acting up or preventing the car from starting.
- ✔ Intermittent operation of the radio or climate controls.
- ✔ Warning lights on the dashboard, such as the airbag or ABS light.
- ✔ Diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) related to communication errors (U-codes) or BCM internal faults.
A Straightforward Guide to BCM Installation
Our cloning service makes the physical swap simple. Since all the programming is done beforehand, you won’t need any special tools or software.
- Step 1: After purchase, you will receive instructions on how to ship your original BCM to us.
- Step 2: We perform the cloning service and ship your original module and the plug-and-play replacement back to you.
- Step 3: Safety First: Before starting, disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery.
- Step 4: Locate the BCM: In the 2006-2011 Cadillac DTS, the BCM is typically located behind the dashboard on the right-hand (passenger) side. Access may require removing the glove box or a lower dash panel.
- Step 5: Swap the Module: Carefully disconnect the electrical connectors from your old BCM. Remove any mounting bolts or clips and take the old module out. Install the replacement BCM in its place, secure it, and reconnect all electrical connectors firmly.
- Step 6: Final Steps: Reconnect the negative battery terminal. Start the vehicle to confirm that all electronic features are operating correctly.
Important Post-Installation Information
In some cases, your vehicle may require one of the following procedures after the new BCM is installed. These are standard GM procedures and can be performed by a shop with a professional-grade scan tool.
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is illuminated after installation, a procedure called ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ is needed to sync the airbag system with the new BCM.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: Some models may require a brake pedal position sensor recalibration to ensure the brake lights and traction control system function properly.
Disclaimer: Specific procedures can vary by vehicle. Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician for guidance.

Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly is a BCM cloning service?
Cloning is a process where we transfer the complete software and vehicle-specific data (like VIN and security information) from your original BCM to a replacement unit. This makes the replacement module 100% plug-and-play, avoiding the need for expensive dealer programming.
Do I have to send you my original part?
Yes. For the cloning service to work, we need your original module to extract its unique data. We will return your original module along with the fully programmed replacement.
