Restore Your Cadillac’s Electrical System with a Plug-and-Play Solution
Is your 2011-2012 Cadillac SRX starting to act possessed? Flickering lights, windows with a mind of their own, or a security system that randomly immobilizes your vehicle are classic signs of a failing Body Control Module (BCM). As the central nervous system for your vehicle’s electronics, a faulty BCM can turn your luxury SUV into a source of daily frustration. Before you face a costly bill and a long wait at the dealership, consider a smarter, more direct solution.
This is a fully tested, replacement BCM compatible with part number 13577924 and others listed below. The key to our service is our professional cloning process. You simply send us your original BCM, and we transfer all its critical data—including VIN, mileage, and key programming—to this replacement unit. The result? A module that is 100% plug-and-play, with no need for expensive dealer-only programming tools. It’s the most efficient way to get your SRX back to perfect working order.
A Technician’s Notebook: The SRX with a Phantom Drain
I once had a 2011 SRX in my bay with a battery that would die overnight. The owner had replaced the battery twice. We checked for draws and found an intermittent one linked to the interior lighting and radio staying active long after the key was out. The scan tool showed communication errors with the BCM (U-codes galore). Instead of just replacing it, which would require a tow to the dealer for programming, we used a cloned module. The customer mailed in their old BCM, we cloned it, and they installed the new one in their driveway. The phantom drain vanished, and the car has been perfect since. It’s a prime example of how a failing BCM can cause truly baffling symptoms that a simple swap can fix—if you have the right programming.

Important Post-Installation Checks
While our goal is a seamless experience, modern vehicle systems are highly integrated. After installing your cloned 2011-2012 SRX BCM, be aware of these potential requirements:
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is on after installation, it’s a simple sync issue. A professional scan tool is needed to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure to clear the light. This is only necessary if the light appears.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: On some models, the brake pedal position sensor may need to be recalibrated to ensure brake lights and traction control function correctly. This is also a quick procedure with the right diagnostic tool.
Disclaimer: Vehicle systems vary. Always refer to a factory service manual or consult a qualified technician if you are unsure about any step.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the cloning service work?
You purchase this service, ship your original BCM to us, and we transfer its unique data (like VIN and key information) to the replacement module. We then ship the programmed module back to you, ready for plug-and-play installation.
Do I need to send my keys?
No. Because we clone all the data from your original module, the replacement unit will recognize your existing keys without any additional programming.
What if my original BCM is completely dead or not communicating?
In most cases, even if the BCM has failed, we can still extract the necessary data. Please contact us with your specific situation if you believe your module is completely unresponsive.
Is there a core charge?
No, there is no core charge. We need your original module to perform the programming service, but you are not required to leave it with us. However, the service cannot be completed without it.
Why is my airbag light on after installation?
This is a common security feature. The new BCM needs to be electronically ‘introduced’ to the airbag’s Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM). A technician with a professional scan tool can perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure to sync them and turn off the light.
