Restore Peak Performance to Your Vehicle’s Electrical System
Are you battling frustrating and unpredictable electrical issues in your Chevrolet Caprice or other GM vehicle? Flickering lights, unresponsive power windows and locks, a faulty security system, or even a no-start condition can all point to a failing Body Control Module (BCM).

Expert Insight: The BCM’s Critical Role
As a technician with over two decades of experience, I’ve seen how a failing BCM can sideline an otherwise perfectly good vehicle. In a high-demand vehicle like the Caprice PPV, every electronic system must function flawlessly. The BCM orchestrates everything from the dome light to the anti-theft system. Simply swapping a used module from another car won’t workโit contains the wrong security information and vehicle options. That’s why VIN-specific programming isn’t just a convenience; it’s a necessity for a correct and lasting repair. This service provides a dealership-level solution without the dealership hassle.
By installing this professionally Programmed 2011-2013 Caprice Body Control Module, you are not just replacing a part; you are restoring the vehicle’s electronic integrity and ensuring all systems communicate and operate as the manufacturer intended. Please note that for some vehicles, post-installation procedures like an airbag system sync or brake pedal position relearn may be required if specific warning lights appear. This is a normal part of the process and can be completed by a qualified technician with a professional scan tool.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this BCM truly ready to install out of the box?
Yes. We pre-program the module using the VIN you provide, loading the correct software and vehicle-specific options. This allows you to install it without needing a trip to the dealer for initial programming. Some minor relearn procedures may be necessary post-installation depending on your specific model.
What information do you need from me?
After you complete your purchase, you must provide us with your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN. This is crucial for us to program the Body Control Module correctly before we can ship it to you.
What if my airbag light comes on after installation?
This is a potential occurrence. If the airbag warning light is on, a procedure called ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ needs to be performed with a professional-grade diagnostic tool. This syncs the new BCM with the airbag system and is a standard security procedure on many GM vehicles.
Do I need to send my old BCM back?
No. There is no core charge for this part. You can keep your original module, which saves you the time and expense of return shipping.
How do I know for sure that my BCM is failing?
Common signs include multiple, unrelated electrical issues like malfunctioning power windows/locks, erratic interior/exterior lights, security system alerts, and communication-related diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs). A thorough diagnosis by a qualified technician is the best way to confirm the BCM is the root cause.
Does this module fit vehicles other than the 2011-2013 Caprice?
Yes. This BCM is compatible with a very wide range of GM cars, trucks, and SUVs from the era, including models like the Impala, Acadia, Express/Savana vans, and many more. Please review the detailed fitment list on this page to confirm compatibility with your specific vehicle.
