Restore Full Electronic Functionality to Your GM Vehicle
Are you experiencing a cascade of bizarre electrical problems in your 2006-2013 Chevrolet Impala or other compatible GM vehicle? Issues like erratic power windows, malfunctioning door locks, a haywire security system, or dashboard lights that have a mind of their own are classic signs of a failing Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM acts as the central nervous system for your vehicle’s body electronics, and when it fails, it can make your car feel unreliable and frustrating to drive. This replacement Body Control Module, part number 15921352, is the definitive solution to restore order and get your vehicle’s features working correctly again.
From the Diagnostic Bay
We had a 2011 Impala come in that was a real head-scratcher for the owner. The radio would turn on and off by itself, the interior dome lights wouldn’t work, and the key fob was completely unresponsive. The owner had already replaced the battery and checked all the fuses. After connecting our scan tool, we saw multiple communication errors pointing directly to the BCM. A faulty BCM was creating a network storm, disrupting all the other modules. Once we installed a VIN-programmed BCM like this one, all the strange electrical gremlins vanished instantly. It’s a common failure, but thankfully, a straightforward fix with the right part.
Common Symptoms of a Failing BCM
- ✔ Intermittent or non-working power windows, door locks, or mirrors.
- ✔ Horn honking unexpectedly or not working at all.
- ✔ Vehicle’s anti-theft or security system acting up or preventing the car from starting.
- ✔ Dashboard warning lights (like Airbag or ABS) illuminating for no reason.
- ✔ Interior or exterior lights (headlights, taillights, dome lights) failing to operate correctly.
- ✔ Problems with the radio, climate control, or instrument cluster display.
The Simple Solution: A VIN-Programmed 2006-2013 Impala Body Control Module
Don’t let a faulty module keep you from enjoying your vehicle. The biggest hurdle in replacing a BCM is the complex programming required to sync it with your car’s specific options and security system. We eliminate that obstacle completely. When you purchase this module, simply provide us with your vehicle’s VIN. Our technicians will program the BCM with the latest GM software updates specific to your car. This means that when the part arrives, it’s ready for installation, saving you a costly trip to the dealership and hours of diagnostic headaches. This module is a direct replacement for a wide range of part numbers, ensuring broad compatibility across many GM models including the Chevy Impala, Equinox, Traverse, GMC Acadia, and Cadillac DTS, among others. Please see our detailed fitment list to confirm compatibility.
Post-Installation Notes: While our programming handles the majority of the setup, some vehicles may require a simple relearn procedure after installation. This can include an Airbag System Sync if the airbag light appears, or a Brake Pedal Position Relearn. These procedures are often straightforward and detailed in service manuals or can be performed by a technician with a capable scan tool.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Body Control Module (BCM) do?
The BCM is a computer that manages and controls many of your vehicle’s non-engine related electronic functions. This includes power windows, locks, lights, the security system, wipers, and more.
Do I need to get this BCM programmed by a dealer?
No. We handle the programming for you before we ship the part. Simply provide your vehicle’s VIN during checkout, and it will arrive ready to be installed, flashed with the latest GM software for your specific vehicle.
How do I know if this part will fit my car?
This BCM replaces many different part numbers. Please check the extensive list of compatible part numbers and the vehicle fitment chart on this page. Matching your original part number to one on the list is the best way to ensure a perfect fit.
What if my airbag light comes on after installation?
In some cases, an ‘Airbag System Sync’ or ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure is needed. This requires a professional scan tool to sync the new BCM with your car’s airbag system and turn off the light.
Is there a core charge for my old part?
