Tired of Your Car’s Electrical Gremlins?
Are you battling strange and frustrating electrical issues in your Chevrolet Cruze or other GM vehicle? Flickering lights, power windows with a mind of their own, malfunctioning door locks, or even a car that refuses to start can all point directly to a failing Body Control Module (BCM). These problems can be more than just an annoyance; they can compromise your vehicle’s reliability and security. Instead of facing a costly and complicated repair at the dealership, our pre-programmed BCM provides a direct, reliable, and affordable solution to get your car back in perfect working order.
Common Symptoms & Your Solution
A failing BCM can manifest in numerous ways. You might be experiencing one or more of the following issues:
- Intermittent or non-functional power windows, locks, or mirrors
- Interior or exterior lights staying on, flickering, or not working at all
- The security or anti-theft system light is illuminated on the dash
- Problems with the remote keyless entry system
- The engine cranks but refuses to start due to security system communication failure
- False warnings on the instrument cluster (e.g., “Service Airbag”)
This professionally programmed BCM is the definitive fix for these problems. We simplify the entire process by transferring the critical data from your original module to this replacement unit, making the installation truly plug-and-play. This is the most efficient way to restore your vehicle’s full functionality without the need for additional programming. Our service for this Programmed 2012 Chevy Cruze BCM is designed to save you time, money, and headaches.

Expert Insight: The Critical Importance of Cloning
A common mistake is buying a used BCM from a salvage yard, believing it’s a simple swap. Unfortunately, a modern BCM is the central computer for your car’s body electronics, containing vital security information like your VIN and key data. Without a proper data transfer, the vehicle simply won’t start or will have major functional errors. Our cloning service transfers this essential ‘digital DNA’ from your old module to the new one, making the final installation as straightforward as swapping a fuse and ensuring your Programmed 2012 Chevy Cruze BCM works correctly right out of the box.

Important Post-Installation Notes
In some cases, minor follow-up procedures may be necessary after installation. These can typically be performed by a qualified technician with a professional scan tool.
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is on after installation, the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure will be needed to sync the systems.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: A recalibration of the brake pedal position sensor may be required on some models to ensure proper brake light and traction control function.
Disclaimer: Specific procedures can vary by vehicle. Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician for guidance. Getting a Programmed 2012 Chevy Cruze BCM from us is the first and most important step.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a BCM and what does it do?
The Body Control Module (BCM) is a computer in your vehicle that controls and monitors a wide variety of electronic accessories not related to the engine, such as power windows, locks, lights, security system, and wipers.
Why does my original BCM need to be cloned?
Your original BCM contains your vehicle’s specific Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and security data for your keys. Cloning this data to the replacement module makes it a plug-and-play part, allowing it to communicate correctly with your car’s other computers and avoiding the need for expensive dealership programming.
Is this a difficult part to install?
The physical installation is typically straightforward. The BCM is usually located in the driver or passenger side kick panel or behind the dash. Once you locate it, it’s a matter of disconnecting the battery and swapping the electrical connectors. Since we handle the programming, no computer work is needed on your end.
Will I need to get my keys reprogrammed?
No. Because we clone all the data from your original module, the replacement BCM will recognize your existing keys just like the old one did. You can get back on the road immediately after installation.
How long does the cloning service take?
We typically complete the cloning process and ship the replacement BCM back to you within 1-2 business days of receiving your original module.
What if the airbag light comes on after installation?
In some GM vehicles, the BCM and the airbag module (SDM) need to be electronically ‘shaken hands’ after a BCM is replaced. If the light appears, a technician with a high-level scan tool will need to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure to resolve it.
