2006-2013 Impala Body Control Module 10382479 | Cloning Service

Restore Your Vehicle’s Electrical Systems with a Reliable, Programmed BCM

As a technician with over two decades of experience under the hood, I’ve seen firsthand how a failing Body Control Module (BCM) can turn a reliable car into a source of daily frustration. If your 2006-2013 Impala is plagued by bizarre electrical issues that seem to have no rhyme or reason, the BCM is the most likely culprit. It’s the central command center for your vehicle’s body electronics, and when it fails, it can create a cascade of problems that are often misdiagnosed, leading to expensive and unnecessary repairs.

This isn’t just a replacement part; it’s a complete solution. We offer a professional Cloning Service that transfers the essential data from your original, failing module directly onto this replacement unit. By providing us with your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) after purchase, we ensure the module arrives at your door programmed with the latest GM software and perfectly matched to your car’s specific configuration. This process eliminates the need for costly dealership programming and makes the installation a straightforward, plug-and-play job for any confident DIYer or professional mechanic.

Is Your Impala Showing These Symptoms?

A faulty BCM can manifest in numerous ways. If you’re experiencing any of the following, it’s a strong indicator that your Body Control Module needs attention:

• ✔ Power windows or door locks operating intermittently or not at all.
• ✔ Interior or exterior lights flickering, staying on, or not turning on.
• ✔ The security system acting erratically, causing no-start conditions (blinking security light).
• ✔ The horn sounding unexpectedly or not working when pressed.
• ✔ Wipers behaving strangely (e.g., won’t turn off).
• ✔ False warnings on the instrument cluster, such as ‘Service Airbag’ or ‘Service Traction Control’.
• ✔ Communication error codes stored, typically in the U-series (e.g., U0100, U0140).

A Straightforward Guide to BCM Installation

With our cloning service, you can confidently tackle this replacement yourself. For the 2006-2013 Impala, the BCM is typically located behind the driver’s side of the dashboard.

1. Safety First: Always disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery and wait a few minutes to ensure all systems are powered down.
2. Access the Module: You will likely need to remove the lower dash panel or knee bolster below the steering column to gain access to the BCM. It’s usually a black box with several large electrical connectors.
3. Disconnect and Remove: Carefully unplug all wiring harnesses from the old BCM. They have locking tabs that need to be depressed. Once disconnected, unbolt or unclip the module from its mounting bracket.
4. Install the New Module: Mount your new, pre-programmed BCM in the exact same position. Firmly reconnect all wiring harnesses, ensuring each one clicks securely into place.
5. Reconnect and Test: Reconnect the negative battery terminal. Turn the key to the ‘On’ position (without starting the engine) and test all body functions: lights, locks, windows, radio, etc.

Important Post-Installation Notes

While our cloning service handles the primary programming, some vehicle systems may require a relearn procedure after the new BCM is installed:

• Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is illuminated after installation, a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure must be performed with a professional scan tool to sync the modules.
• Brake Pedal Position Relearn: On some models, a brake pedal position sensor relearn may be needed to ensure correct brake light and traction control operation.

Disclaimer: Vehicle systems vary. Always refer to a factory service manual for procedures specific to your make and model.
