Programmed 2008-2010 VUE Body Control Module BCM 15948438

Restore Your Saturn VUE’s Electrical System with a Plug-and-Play BCM

Are you dealing with baffling electrical issues in your 2008-2010 Saturn VUE? Flickering dashboard lights, power windows with a mind of their own, or a security system that won’t cooperate are classic signs of a failing Body Control Module (BCM). As the central command center for your vehicle’s electronics, a faulty BCM can cause a cascade of frustrating and unpredictable problems. This isn’t just an inconvenience; it can affect vehicle function and safety. I’ve seen it countless times in the shop—a vehicle comes in with a list of seemingly unrelated electrical gremlins, and the culprit is a failing BCM.

We offer a straightforward and reliable solution. This Body Control Module, part number 15948438, is professionally programmed to your vehicle’s specific VIN before it ships. This means no expensive trips to the dealership for programming. You receive a component that’s ready for installation right out of the box, loaded with the latest GM software updates to ensure optimal performance and communication between all your vehicle’s systems. This is the definitive fix for restoring the precise electronic control your Saturn was built with.

Common Signs of a Failing BCM

If your vehicle is experiencing these symptoms, a failing BCM is the likely cause. Replacing it with our pre-programmed unit can resolve these issues:

• ✔ Erratic or non-functional interior and exterior lights.
• ✔ Power windows, door locks, or security system acting up.
• ✔ The horn sounding unexpectedly or not working at all.
• ✔ Warning lights on the dashboard for ABS, airbags, or traction control.
• ✔ Communication Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) like U0140, U0155, or various B-codes.
• ✔ Problems with the keyless entry system.

A Straightforward Guide to Installation

Installing your new BCM is a manageable job for a DIY enthusiast. For the 2008-2010 Saturn VUE, the BCM is typically located in the center dash area. Always confirm the location in a service manual for your specific vehicle.

1. Safety First: 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: Carefully remove the necessary dash panels to gain access to the old BCM. It’s usually secured with a few small bolts or clips.
3. Swap the Connections: Note the orientation of the electrical connectors. Gently disconnect them from the old module and plug them securely into your new, pre-programmed BCM.
4. Secure the New BCM: Mount the new module in the same position as the old one and replace any bolts or clips.
5. Final Steps: Reassemble the dash panels and reconnect the negative battery terminal. Start the vehicle and test all functions—lights, locks, windows, radio, etc.

Important Post-Installation Information

While this BCM is programmed for your VIN, some vehicle systems may require a ‘handshake’ with the new module. This is normal. You may need a professional scan tool for the following procedures if warning lights appear:

• Airbag System Sync: If the airbag light is on, a procedure called ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ is needed to sync the systems.
• Brake Pedal Position Relearn: On some models, a brake pedal position sensor relearn may be required to ensure proper brake light and traction control operation.

We make it simple: there is no core charge on this part. You can keep your original module without the hassle of shipping it back.
