Restore Your Vehicle’s Electrical Functions with a Plug-and-Play BCM
Are you experiencing bizarre electrical issues in your Chevrolet Volt, Buick LaCrosse, or Cadillac SRX? Flickering lights, malfunctioning power windows, a faulty security system, or even a no-start condition can often be traced back to a single component: the Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM acts as the central nervous system for your vehicle’s body electronics, and when it fails, it can cause a cascade of frustrating problems. Dealerships often quote expensive repairs that involve purchasing a new module and paying for hours of programming. Our mail-in cloning service offers a direct, cost-effective, and simple solution.
The Smart Solution: BCM Cloning Service
This listing is for a replacement Body Control Module that comes programmed with the exact data from your original unit. By transferring the vehicle’s specific information—including the VIN, key codes, and security settings—we create a true plug-and-play module. This process eliminates the need for any additional programming or calibration at a dealership, saving you time and money. Simply install the BCM we send you, and your vehicle’s functions will be restored.
From the Diagnostic Bay
We had a 2011 Chevy Equinox come in with a classic case of BCM failure. The customer reported that the turn signals would work intermittently, the radio would shut off randomly, and the anti-theft light was always on, sometimes preventing the car from starting. After confirming power and grounds to the BCM and running a network test, we saw clear communication faults. Instead of a costly new module and dealer programming, the customer opted for our cloning service. We transferred the data from their failing BCM to a replacement unit. After a quick installation, all the strange electrical gremlins were gone. The customer was back on the road the same day for a fraction of the dealer’s quote.
Is Your Body Control Module Failing?
A faulty BCM can manifest in numerous ways. If you’re noticing any of the following symptoms, your BCM is likely the culprit:
- ✔ Intermittent or non-functional interior and exterior lights (headlights, taillights, dome lights).
- ✔ Power windows, door locks, or mirrors not working correctly.
- ✔ Malfunctioning keyless entry or remote start.
- ✔ Security system warning lights or alarm going off randomly.
- ✔ Instrument cluster gauges behaving erratically.
- ✔ Communication error codes stored in the vehicle’s computer system.
- ✔ The vehicle fails to start, even with a good battery and starter.

Post-Installation Checks for Your 2011 Volt Body Control Module
Our goal is a seamless installation. However, in some GM vehicles, a couple of minor follow-up procedures may be needed after the new BCM is installed:
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light illuminates after installation, a simple ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure is required. This syncs the new BCM with the airbag system and can be performed by any shop with a professional-grade diagnostic tool.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: On certain models, a brake pedal position sensor recalibration might be necessary to ensure the brake lights and traction control system function as intended. This is also a quick procedure for a qualified technician.
Please note: Specific procedures can vary by vehicle. Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician for guidance.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a BCM cloning service?
BCM cloning is a process where we extract the unique, vehicle-specific data from your original Body Control Module and transfer it to a replacement module. This makes the replacement unit a plug-and-play part, as it already contains your car’s VIN, security information, and option settings, eliminating the need for dealership programming.
Why is this better than buying a used BCM from a junkyard?
A standard used BCM will contain the data from the donor vehicle and will not work in your car without being reprogrammed by a dealer, which can be costly and complex. Our service provides a fully functional replacement that is already matched to your specific vehicle.
How long does the cloning process take?
Once we receive your original BCM, the cloning and testing process is typically completed within 24-48 hours. We then ship the programmed module back to you promptly.
Will I need any special tools for installation?
No. Installation is a direct swap. You will only need basic hand tools to access and replace the module. No programming tools are required. In rare cases, a post-install sync procedure may be needed, as described above.
What if my original BCM is completely dead or not communicating?
In most cases, even if the BCM is failing, we can still extract the necessary data. If you believe your module is completely unresponsive, please contact us before ordering so we can discuss the specifics of your situation.
Do I get my original module back?
Yes, we will return your original module along with the programmed replacement unit unless you specify otherwise.
