Are you battling frustrating and unpredictable electrical problems in your 2012 GMC Terrain or other compatible GM vehicle? Issues like flickering lights, malfunctioning power windows and locks, or even a vehicle that refuses to start can often be traced back to a failing Body Control Module (BCM). Instead of facing a costly and complicated replacement at the dealership, our professional programming service provides a reliable, streamlined solution to get you back on the road with confidence. This service is for a replacement BCM, part number 13580696, that is fully programmed using the data from your original module, ensuring a true plug-and-play experience.
Common Symptoms & Your Solution
A faulty BCM can wreak havoc on your vehicle’s electronic systems. If you’re experiencing any of the following, this programmed module is the definitive solution:
- Intermittent or non-functional interior/exterior lights
- Power windows, door locks, or mirrors operating erratically
- Instrument cluster gauges behaving strangely or not working
- Security system faults or key fob recognition issues
- Vehicle failing to start despite a good battery and starter
- Communication error codes (U-codes) stored in the system
Our process is simple: after your purchase, you will ship your original BCM to our facility. Our expert technicians will then extract the precise, vehicle-specific data and clone it onto this replacement unit. This ensures that your vehicle’s VIN, security information, and all factory-installed options are perfectly preserved. The result is a Programmed 2012 GMC Terrain BCM that installs without the need for expensive dealer-only tools or additional programming.

Expert Insight: Why Cloning is Superior
Many believe that a “new” BCM from the dealer is the best option, but it’s often not. A new module is a blank slate; it requires extensive programming with specialized equipment to learn your vehicle’s specific configuration. Our cloning method is different. We perform a direct data transfer, which is like creating a perfect digital twin of your original module. This preserves not only the VIN and security keys but also the subtle learned adaptations your vehicle has made over thousands of miles. This makes our Programmed 2012 GMC Terrain BCM a more seamless and reliable solution, restoring your vehicle to the exact state it was in before the failure.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does this programming service work?
The process is straightforward. After you place your order, we will provide you with instructions to ship your original BCM to us. Once we receive it, our technicians will clone the necessary data to the replacement BCM and ship it back to you, typically within 1-2 business days. Tracking information will be provided as soon as it ships.
Is this BCM truly plug and play?
Yes, because we clone the data from your original unit, the replacement BCM will be plug and play for most functions. However, as with any BCM replacement on these platforms, some vehicles may require a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ or ‘Brake Pedal Position Relearn’ procedure if specific warning lights appear after installation. These are simple procedures for any professional shop with a capable scan tool.
What if my original BCM is completely dead or not communicating?
In most cases, even if the BCM is failing, the core data on the memory chip is still intact and readable. We are successful in recovering data from over 99% of the modules we receive. If for some rare reason your module’s data is completely corrupted, we will contact you to discuss options and provide a full refund if we cannot proceed.
Which part numbers does this BCM replace?
This BCM, programmed from your original, is a direct replacement for part numbers 13580696, 123589093, 13588446, 13584692, and 13583542. It is crucial that you match one of these numbers to ensure compatibility.
Do I need to do anything after installation?
For most users, no further action is needed. However, be aware of the potential need for an Airbag System Sync or Brake Pedal Position Relearn, as noted in the product details. This is not always required but can be necessary on certain models to clear warning lights. Any qualified technician can perform these relearns if needed.
