These are classic signs of a failing Body Control Module (BCM). Instead of facing a costly and time-consuming trip to the dealership, get the definitive, hassle-free solution. This pre-programmed 2012-2013 Buick LaCrosse BCM 13580696 is the answer to restoring your car’s full functionality and your peace of mind.

Expert Insight: The Power of Cloning
Why is our cloning service superior? Many replacement modules require programming at a dealership, where a technician loads generic software that may not account for your vehicle’s unique options or history. Our process of transferring the exact data from your original unit is like creating a perfect digital twin. This preserves all the subtle configurations your vehicle has learned over the years, ensuring every feature—from the specific key fobs to the lighting delays—works exactly as it did from the factory. It’s the most reliable way to ensure a seamless and correct repair for your 2012-2013 Buick LaCrosse BCM 13580696.

Important Post-Installation Information
While this module is designed to be plug-and-play, some vehicle systems may require a simple recalibration after installation. Please be aware of the following possibilities:
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is on after installation, a professional scan tool must be used to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure. This syncs the BCM with the airbag system.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: A brake pedal position sensor recalibration may be necessary on some models to ensure proper brake light and traction control functionality.
Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician if you are unsure about any post-installation procedures. Getting your 2012-2013 Buick LaCrosse BCM 13580696 installed correctly is key to a lasting repair.

Once we receive it, our technicians will clone all the essential data to the replacement BCM and ship it back to you, usually within 1-2 business days. The replacement you receive will be ready for immediate installation.

What happens if the airbag light comes on after installation?
