Restore Your Cadillac’s Sophisticated Electronics
Are you experiencing frustrating and unpredictable electrical issues in your 2010 Cadillac STS? Flickering lights, malfunctioning power windows or locks, a security system that acts up, or even a car that refuses to start can all point to a failing Body Control Module (BCM). This central command unit is the brain behind your vehicle’s comfort and convenience features, and when it falters, it can disrupt your entire driving experience. It’s time to restore the seamless, reliable performance you expect from your Cadillac with a solution designed for a perfect fix.
Common Symptoms & Your Solution
A failing BCM can manifest in numerous ways, often seeming like multiple unrelated problems. If you’re noticing any of the following, this pre-programmed BCM is your definitive solution:
- Erratic or non-functional interior and exterior lights
- Power windows, door locks, or mirrors operating intermittently or not at all
- Instrument cluster gauges behaving strangely or giving false warnings

- Communication error codes with other vehicle modules
This isn’t just a replacement part; it’s a fully integrated solution. We flash the module with the latest GM software updates and program it specifically to your vehicle’s VIN before it ships. This ensures all your car’s unique options and security information are correctly configured, making installation as straightforward as possible.

An Expert’s Note on VIN Programming
In a sophisticated vehicle like a Cadillac STS, the BCM is the central hub for dozens of electronic systems. It communicates constantly with the engine computer, transmission module, airbag system, and more. Simply swapping in a used, non-programmed module is a recipe for disaster—it can trigger the anti-theft system, disable key features, or prevent the car from starting altogether. Our VIN-specific programming service isn’t just a convenience; it’s a critical step that ensures all modules recognize each other and work together in harmony, just as the factory intended.
Important Post-Installation Information
While this BCM is programmed for a direct installation, some vehicles may require additional calibration steps to ensure all systems are perfectly synchronized. Please be aware of the following potential procedures:
- Airbag System Sync: If your airbag warning light is on after installation, a professional scan tool is needed to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure. This syncs the new BCM with your vehicle’s airbag system.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: On some models, a brake pedal position sensor recalibration may be necessary for proper brake light and traction control operation.
Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician for vehicle-specific guidance.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I provide my VIN for programming?
After you complete your purchase, you will receive instructions on how to send us your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN. We cannot ship your order until we have this information to program the module correctly.
Is this a difficult part to install?
The physical installation is typically straightforward, as the BCM is often located under the dash. However, we always recommend installation by a professional mechanic who has experience with modern vehicle electronics and has the tools for any necessary post-install relearn procedures.
Will this fix my specific problem?
This BCM is the solution for a wide range of electrical issues. To be certain, it’s always best to have your vehicle properly diagnosed by a qualified technician to confirm the BCM is the source of the fault before ordering.
Do I need to send my old BCM back?
No. There is no core charge for this part. You can keep your original module.
What happens if the airbag light comes on after installation?
This indicates that the BCM needs to be electronically synced with the airbag module (SDM). A repair shop with a professional-grade diagnostic tool can perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure to resolve this.
