Restore Full Electrical Function to Your Vehicle
Are you battling frustrating electrical gremlins in your Cadillac STS or other GM vehicle? Issues like flickering interior lights, malfunctioning power windows and locks, or a security system that acts up on its own are often signs of a failing Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM is the central command center for your vehicle’s body electronics, and when it fails, it can cause a wide range of confusing and intermittent problems. This pre-programmed BCM is the definitive solution to restore your vehicle’s electronic systems to factory-perfect operation.
Common Symptoms of a Failing BCM
- ✔ Intermittent or non-working power windows, door locks, or mirrors.
- ✔ Erratic behavior from the radio, climate control, or instrument cluster gauges.
- ✔ Security system faults or the vehicle failing to start due to anti-theft issues.
- ✔ Interior or exterior lights that stay on, flicker, or won’t turn on at all.
- ✔ False warning lights on the dashboard, such as the airbag or brake system light.
- ✔ Problems with keyless entry and remote start functionality.
Why Choose a VIN-Programmed 2010 STS Body Control Module?
This isn’t just a replacement part; it’s a complete, ready-to-install solution. We take the guesswork and hassle out of the repair process. Simply provide us with your vehicle’s VIN during checkout, and our technicians will flash the module with the latest GM-certified software specific to your car’s options and configuration. This ensures a seamless installation process, often referred to as ‘plug-and-play,’ eliminating the need for expensive programming tools or a trip to the dealership. This module is a direct replacement for a wide range of original part numbers, ensuring broad compatibility across many GM models (see fitment list).
Important Post-Installation Information
While this module is designed for straightforward installation, some vehicles may require minor recalibration procedures after the BCM is connected. For instance, if you see an airbag warning light, a simple ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure with a professional scan tool will sync the systems. Similarly, a ‘Brake Pedal Position Relearn’ might be needed to ensure brake lights and traction control function correctly. These are standard procedures for this type of repair and are detailed in factory service manuals.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why do you need my VIN?
Your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) allows us to program the BCM with the exact software and settings for your specific vehicle’s features and options. This ensures the module works correctly right out of the box without requiring a trip to the dealer for programming.
Is this part difficult to install?
For most models, the BCM is located under the dash and is accessible with basic hand tools. The physical replacement is straightforward. Since the module comes pre-programmed, the most complex part of the job is already done for you. However, always consult a service manual for your specific vehicle.
What if my airbag light comes on after installation?
This is a known possibility. It simply means the new BCM needs to be electronically ‘introduced’ to the airbag’s Supplemental Deployment Module (SDM). A qualified technician with a professional diagnostic tool can perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure to resolve this.
Will this 2010 STS Body Control Module fit other vehicles?
Yes, this BCM is compatible with a wide array of GM vehicles, including models from Chevrolet, GMC, Buick, Saturn, and more. It replaces numerous part numbers. Please review the detailed fitment list on this page to confirm it matches your vehicle.
Do I need to send my old BCM back?
No, there is no core charge for this part. You can keep your original module.
