Restore Your Vehicle’s Electrical System with a Plug-and-Play BCM
Are you battling frustrating and unpredictable electrical problems in your vehicle? Flickering dashboard lights, power windows that won’t respond, a security system acting up, or even a car that refuses to start can all point to a failing Body Control Module (BCM). For sophisticated vehicles like the Chevy Volt, LaCrosse, or SRX, the BCM is the central nervous system. When it fails, it can feel like the car has lost its mind. This listing offers the definitive, hassle-free solution: a replacement BCM that arrives at your door fully programmed and ready for installation.
Common Symptoms & Your Solution
A faulty BCM can manifest in numerous ways, often leaving owners and even technicians chasing electronic ghosts. If you’re experiencing any of the following, our BCM programming service is the fix you need:
- Intermittent or non-functional power windows, door locks, or interior lights
- Erratic instrument cluster behavior or warning lights (e.g., security, airbag)
- Problems with the keyless entry or push-to-start systems
- HVAC (heating and air conditioning) control issues
- A no-start condition where the engine cranks but won’t turn over
Instead of paying for expensive dealership diagnostics and programming fees, our service simplifies the entire process. We use the data from your original BCM to configure the replacement unit, ensuring all vehicle-specific options and security information are perfectly matched. This professional 2011 Chevrolet Volt BCM programming service ensures a seamless integration, restoring your car’s full functionality.

An Expert’s Insight: The Body Control Module in modern GM vehicles is far more than a simple fuse box; it’s a complex computer that manages dozens of functions, from how your headlights operate to the anti-theft system that recognizes your key. Simply swapping a used BCM from another car won’t workโthe security data won’t match, and the car will be immobilized. Our cloning process is the gold standard for BCM replacement. We perform a precise, one-to-one data transfer, creating a true digital twin of your original module. This preserves every subtle setting and option your car left the factory with, something a generic dealer re-flash often misses. This is the key to a successful, trouble-free repair.
Important Post-Installation Information
While our 2011 Chevrolet Volt BCM programming service makes installation straightforward, some vehicles may require minor recalibration procedures after the new module is installed. Please be aware of the following:
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is illuminated after installation, a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure must be performed with a professional scan tool. This syncs the new BCM with the airbag system.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: On some models, a brake pedal position sensor recalibration may be needed to ensure proper brake light and traction control functionality.
We provide this information to ensure you have a complete understanding of the repair process. For the most accurate procedures for your specific vehicle, always consult a factory service manual or a qualified automotive technician.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the mail-in cloning service work?
It’s simple! After you place your order, we will contact you with instructions to ship your original BCM to our facility. Once we receive it, our technicians will extract the data and program the replacement unit. We then ship the ready-to-install BCM back to you, typically within 1-2 business days.
What part numbers does this BCM replace?
This module is a direct replacement for a wide range of part numbers, including 13583451, 13583450, 13579004, 13580198, 13582396, 13586856, 13582688, 13586278, 13501737, 13501739, 13577924, and 13580773.
Will this fix my car’s specific electrical problem?
This programmed BCM will resolve any issue directly caused by a faulty Body Control Module. The symptoms listed above are the most common indicators of BCM failure. Proper diagnosis is key, but if your mechanic has condemned the BCM, this is your most reliable and cost-effective solution.
Do I need special tools to install this?
Installation typically requires only basic hand tools to access and swap the module. However, as noted, a professional diagnostic scan tool may be required for post-installation procedures like the airbag system sync if the warning light appears. The core benefit of our 2011 Chevrolet Volt BCM programming service is that no programming tools are needed.
What happens if the airbag light comes on after installation?
If the airbag light appears, it simply means the new BCM needs to be electronically ‘introduced’ to the vehicle’s airbag module (SDM). A qualified technician can perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure with a compatible scan tool to resolve this and turn off the light.
How long does the entire process take?
Once we receive your original module, the programming and shipping process usually takes 1-2 business days. The total time will depend on the shipping speed you choose to send your module to us and for us to return the replacement to you.
