Is Your GM Vehicle Acting Possessed? Get Back in Control.
Experiencing a frustrating array of electrical problems in your Chevrolet Equinox, GMC Terrain, or other compatible GM vehicle? Flickering lights, power windows with a mind of their own, strange warning messages on the dash, or even a vehicle that refuses to start can all point directly to a failing Body Control Module (BCM). Driving with a faulty BCM isn’t just an annoyance; it can compromise your vehicle’s functionality and security. This isn’t a problem you have to live with, and you don’t need to face the high costs and scheduling hassles of a dealership.
Common Symptoms of a Failing BCM & Your Direct Solution
If you’re noticing any of the following issues, a failing BCM is the likely culprit:
- Erratic or non-working power windows, door locks, and interior lights.
- Warning lights (like Airbag or ABS) illuminating for no reason.
- The security or anti-theft system preventing the car from starting.
- Communication error codes (U-codes) when scanned with a diagnostic tool.
- Intermittent starting problems or complete no-start conditions.
Our professional cloning service for this programmed 2013-2017 Equinox BCM is the most reliable and straightforward solution.

Expert Insight: The Critical Difference of Cloning
Why not just grab a used BCM from a salvage yard? Because a BCM is like your vehicle’s digital fingerprint. A used module contains the security and options data from a completely different car, and installing it will almost certainly result in a no-start condition. It becomes an expensive paperweight. Our cloning service transfers your vehicle’s exact ‘digital DNA’ to the replacement module. This is the key to making the installation process seamless and ensuring every feature works just as it did from the factory, making this programmed 2013-2017 Equinox BCM the smart, effective repair.
Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly is a BCM cloning service?
It’s a simple mail-in process. After you purchase, we provide instructions for you to ship your original BCM to us. We then use specialized equipment to extract the unique programming and security data and flash it onto this replacement module. We then ship the newly programmed module back to you, ready for installation.
Do I need to do any programming myself?
No. The module you receive from us is completely pre-programmed and ready to be installed. This service eliminates the need for any additional programming or key relearning procedures typically required by a dealership.
How long does the cloning process take?
We typically program and ship your replacement module within 1-2 business days of receiving your original BCM. We will provide you with a tracking number as soon as it ships.
What if my original BCM is water damaged or won’t communicate?
In many cases, even with significant damage, we are able to recover the necessary data directly from the module’s memory chips. Please contact us before ordering if you suspect your module is severely damaged so we can discuss the best course of action.
What tools are needed for the post-installation procedures?
While the BCM itself is plug-and-play, some vehicles may require an ‘Airbag System Sync’ or ‘Brake Pedal Position Relearn’ as mentioned in the post-install notes. These procedures require a professional-grade bidirectional scan tool and should be performed by a qualified technician if the corresponding warning lights appear after installation.
Is this the right part for my vehicle?
This programmed 2013-2017 Equinox BCM fits a wide range of GM models. Please cross-reference your original module’s part number with the list provided (13584695, 13586273, 13580697, etc.) and check the fitment chart to ensure compatibility.
