An Expert’s Note:
We recently worked with a 2010 STS owner who was on the verge of selling his beloved car. He was plagued by a persistent ‘Service Theft System’ light and a parasitic battery drain that multiple shops couldn’t diagnose. The dealership quoted him over $1,200 for a new BCM and programming. Our VIN-programmed 2010 Cadillac STS Body Control Module solved all his issues in under an hour for a fraction of the cost, restoring his confidence and love for his Cadillac. This isn’t just a fix; it’s the right fix.
Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly does the Body Control Module do?
The BCM acts as the central computer for your vehicle’s body electronics. It controls non-engine related functions like power windows, locks, lights, security systems, and the instrument cluster. When it fails, it can cause a wide range of seemingly unrelated electrical problems.
Why is VIN programming so important?
Programming the BCM to your car’s unique Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) ensures it communicates correctly with all other modules (like the engine computer and airbag system). An unprogrammed module simply will not work. We do this for you, so the part is ready to install upon arrival.
What is the process after I order?
It’s simple. After you complete your purchase, you will need to provide us with your vehicle’s VIN. Our technicians will then program the module with the latest GM software specific to your car before shipping it directly to you.
Will I need to perform any procedures after installation?
In some cases, yes. If your airbag warning light is on after installation, a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure is required using a professional scan tool. Additionally, a ‘Brake Pedal Position Relearn’ may be necessary. These are standard procedures for this type of repair.
Is this part difficult to install?
For the 2010 Cadillac STS, the BCM is located in the center dash area. While the physical replacement is manageable for a skilled DIYer, we always recommend consulting a factory service manual or having a qualified technician perform the installation to ensure all post-install procedures are completed correctly.
Does this BCM fit vehicles other than the 2010 STS?
Yes, this programmed 2010 Cadillac STS Body Control Module is compatible with a wide range of GM vehicles, including models of the Acadia, Impala, Tahoe, Express Van, and more. Please check the extensive fitment list on this page to confirm compatibility with your specific make, model, and year.
