Restore Full Functionality to Your Cadillac DTS
Is your 2006-2011 Cadillac DTS experiencing bizarre electrical problems? Flickering lights, malfunctioning power windows, a security system that acts up, or even a frustrating no-start condition can often be traced back to a single component: 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 create a cascade of confusing and inconvenient issues. Stop chasing electrical gremlins and get the definitive solution with our pre-programmed BCM.
This isn’t just a replacement part; it’s a complete, ready-to-install solution. We take the guesswork and dealer expense out of the equation. Simply provide your vehicle’s VIN during checkout, and our expert technicians will flash this module with the latest official GM software specific to your Cadillac. This ensures that all factory settings and vehicle options are correctly configured, making the installation process as smooth as possible. By purchasing this 2006-2011 DTS Body Control Module, you’re getting a reliable part that restores your car’s performance and your peace of mind.
Case Study: A Tricky Diagnosis
A customer brought in their 2009 Cadillac DTS with a laundry list of complaints: the radio would randomly shut off, the interior lights would pulse, and the car wouldn’t start intermittently, showing a ‘Service Theft System’ message. They had already replaced the battery and alternator with no luck. A quick scan showed multiple U-codes (U0140, U0155), indicating a loss of communication with the BCM. After confirming power and ground to the module were solid, it was clear the BCM itself was the culprit. Internal circuit failure is common in these units after years of heat cycles. We installed one of our VIN-programmed modules, performed the SDM key setup, and the car was back to perfect working order in under an hour. The customer was thrilled to have their luxury car back without the massive dealership bill.
Common Signs of a Failing BCM
If you’re experiencing any of the following, a faulty Body Control Module is the likely cause. Replacing your 2006-2011 DTS Body Control Module can resolve these issues:
- ✔ Erratic or non-functional power windows, locks, and mirrors.
- ✔ Interior or exterior lights that flicker, stay on, or don’t work at all.
- ✔ The security system or keyless entry malfunctioning.
- ✔ Unexplained warning lights on the dashboard, like the airbag or security light.
- ✔ Communication error codes, such as U0140, U0100, or B1001.
- ✔ Intermittent no-start conditions where the engine cranks but won’t fire up.
A Straightforward Guide to Installation
With our pre-programmed module, you can confidently perform this replacement. For the 2006-2011 Cadillac DTS, the BCM is typically located behind the right side of the dashboard.
- Safety First: Disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery to prevent any electrical shorts.
- Access the Module: You will likely need to remove the glove box or a lower dash panel on the passenger side to gain access to the BCM. It’s a black box with several large wiring harnesses connected to it.
- Swap the BCM: Carefully unplug all electrical connectors. Note their orientation. Unbolt the old module from its mounting bracket and secure the new one in its place.
- Reconnect Everything: Firmly plug all wiring harnesses back into your new BCM. Reconnect the negative battery terminal.
- Perform Final Steps: After installation, two critical procedures are required. You must perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure with a compatible diagnostic tool to sync the airbag system. Additionally, a brake pedal position sensor relearn may be necessary to ensure proper brake light function and stability control.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to do any programming myself?
No. We handle all the programming before shipping. Just provide your VIN at checkout, and the module will arrive ready for installation and final relearn procedures.
What tools are needed for the final steps after installation?
You will need a professional-grade bidirectional scan tool to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ for the airbag system and the brake pedal position relearn. Many local repair shops can perform this service for you if you don’t own one.
Is this a new or used part?
This is a high-quality, tested replacement part guaranteed to restore your vehicle’s functionality. It is flashed with the newest software from GM for optimal performance.
What happens if I don’t perform the airbag system reset?
The airbag warning light will remain illuminated on your dash, and more importantly, the supplemental restraint system (airbags) may not function correctly in an accident. This step is critical for safety.
How do I find my old BCM part number to confirm a match?
The part number is printed on a sticker directly on your original BCM. However, as long as your vehicle is on our compatibility list, this module will work, as it replaces dozens of older part numbers.
