Restore Your Vehicle’s Electrical System with a Plug-and-Play Solution
Are you experiencing frustrating and unpredictable electrical issues in your vehicle? Flickering interior lights, power windows that won’t cooperate, door locks with a mind of their own, or a security system that triggers for no reason are all common signs of a failing Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM acts as the central hub for your car’s comfort and convenience features. When it fails, it can make driving a stressful experience. This replacement Body Control Module is the definitive, hassle-free solution to restore your vehicle’s proper function and your peace of mind.
Common Symptoms & Your Solution
A faulty BCM can manifest in numerous ways, often seeming like multiple unrelated problems. If you’re noticing any of the following, it’s a strong indicator that your BCM needs replacement:
- Power windows, mirrors, or door locks operating intermittently or not at all.
- Interior or exterior lights staying on, flickering, or not turning on.
- The security system or alarm malfunctioning or giving false alerts.
- Erratic behavior from the dashboard gauges or warning lights.
- Communication error codes (U-codes) when scanned with a diagnostic tool.

Expert Insight: The BCM as Your Vehicle’s ‘Nervous System’
Think of the Body Control Module as the central nervous system for all non-engine related electronics. It doesn’t control the engine’s fuel or spark, but it manages almost everything else you interact with from the driver’s seat. It takes your input—like pressing the window switch or the lock button on your key fob—and translates it into action. When the BCM’s internal circuits or software fail, this communication breaks down, leading to the bizarre and varied symptoms that are so difficult to diagnose without simply replacing the unit. Our VIN-programming service ensures this new ‘nervous system’ speaks the exact same language as your vehicle’s other components from the moment it’s installed.
Important Post-Installation Information
While this module is designed for a straightforward installation, some vehicles may require additional steps to sync all systems perfectly. Please be aware of the following potential procedures:
- Airbag System Sync: If the 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 the airbag module.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: On some models, a brake pedal position sensor recalibration may be necessary to ensure proper brake light and traction control operation.
Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician if you are unsure about any part of the installation process.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I provide my vehicle’s VIN?
After you complete your purchase, you will need to send us your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). We will then program the module before it ships. This ensures you receive a part that is tailored specifically for your vehicle.
Do I need to send my old BCM back?
No. There is no core charge for this part. You can keep or dispose of your original module at your convenience.
Is this part difficult to install?
The physical installation is typically straightforward, involving unplugging the old module and plugging in the new one. The BCM is often located under the dash on the driver’s or passenger’s side. However, as noted, some vehicles may require additional electronic relearn procedures with a capable scan tool after installation.
What happens if the airbag light comes on after I install it?
This is a known possibility on some GM vehicles. It means the new BCM needs to be electronically ‘introduced’ to the airbag system module (SDM). A repair shop with a professional-grade diagnostic tool can perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure to resolve this.
Will this BCM fix my specific problem?
This module is the direct solution for issues caused by a failed BCM. If your vehicle exhibits symptoms like erratic power windows, locks, lighting, and security system faults, this part is designed to correct them. It is an essential component for restoring the electronic functions of a 2010 Cadillac STS Body Control Module and many other compatible vehicles.
How can I be sure this fits my vehicle?
This BCM replaces a long list of original part numbers and fits many GM models. Please review the detailed fitment list on this page. The most crucial step is providing your VIN, which allows us to program it perfectly for your specific make, model, and options.
