Are strange electrical gremlins plaguing your vehicle? A faulty Body Control Module (BCM) is often the culprit behind some of the most frustrating and unpredictable issues. This professionally programmed BCM is the definitive solution to restore your car’s proper function and get you back on the road with confidence. This is not just a part; it’s a complete service designed to make your repair as simple as possible.

Common BCM Failure Symptoms & Your Direct Solution
If you’re experiencing any of the following, a failing BCM is the likely cause. This service for the 2012 Chevy Cruze BCM and other compatible models is designed to fix them all:
- Power windows, door locks, or mirrors operating intermittently or not at all.
- Interior or exterior lights (headlights, taillights, dome lights) behaving erratically.
- Vehicle security system engaging randomly or preventing the car from starting.
- Dashboard warning lights appearing for no reason.
- Communication errors with other modules, leading to a variety of performance issues.
- Complete no-start condition where the ignition seems dead.
Instead of paying for expensive diagnostics and dealership programming, our service provides a direct, cost-effective fix. You simply ship us your original BCM, we perform the data transfer, and send you back a fully programmed module that is ready for installation.

Expert Insight: The Power of Cloning
Why is our cloning service the superior choice? A new BCM from the dealer is a blank slate. It requires a specialized, dealer-level scan tool to be programmed with your car’s unique Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), security information, and specific equipment configuration. Our cloning process extracts this exact data from your original, failing module and writes it directly onto the replacement unit. This makes the new module an identical twin to your old one, allowing the vehicle’s network to accept it instantly. This method preserves all factory settings and is the most reliable way to ensure a seamless repair without unintended complications.
Post-Installation Procedures
While this BCM is plug-and-play, some vehicle systems may require a simple relearn procedure after the module is reconnected. This is standard for many electronic repairs.
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is illuminated after installation, a “Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM” procedure may be needed using a professional scan tool.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: A recalibration of the brake pedal position sensor might be necessary to ensure correct brake light and traction control operation.
Disclaimer: Specific procedures can vary. Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician for guidance.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the programming service work?
It’s simple. After you place your order, we will contact you with instructions to ship your original BCM to us. Once we receive it, we will clone the necessary data to the replacement module and ship it back to you, typically within 1-2 business days. You’ll receive tracking information as soon as it’s on its way.
Is this BCM compatible with my vehicle?
This module is compatible with a wide range of GM vehicles. Please check the extensive list of part numbers (including 13583450, 13579004, 13580198) and the detailed fitment list on this page to confirm it matches your specific make, model, and year. The 2012 Chevy Cruze BCM is one of the primary applications.
Will I need to do any programming after installation?
No. The module comes fully programmed and ready for installation. In some cases, as noted in the post-installation section, a simple relearn procedure for systems like the airbag or brake pedal sensor may be required, which can be done with a standard professional scan tool.
What happens if the airbag light comes on after I install it?
This can occasionally happen as the vehicle’s systems re-establish communication. It simply means the BCM and the Supplemental Deployment Module (SDM) need to be re-synced. A technician with a professional diagnostic tool can perform the “Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM” procedure to resolve this.
How long does the entire process take?
Our in-house processing time is very fast, usually 1-2 business days after we receive your original module. The total time will depend on the shipping transit times to and from our facility.
Do I need to send my keys with the module?
No, you do not need to send your keys. All the necessary security and key information is stored within the BCM itself, which is what we transfer during the cloning process.
