Is Your Vehicle Plagued by Electrical Gremlins?
Experiencing strange electrical problems in your GMC Terrain, Chevy Equinox, or another compatible GM vehicle? Flickering lights, malfunctioning power windows, a security system that acts up, or even a frustrating no-start condition can bring your day to a halt. These are classic signs of a failing Body Control Module (BCM), the central computer responsible for managing your vehicle’s body electronics. Our mail-in programming service for this BCM is the definitive, hassle-free solution to restore your vehicle’s proper function and get you back on the road with confidence.
Common Failure Symptoms & Your Direct-Fit Solution
A faulty BCM can cause a wide range of confusing issues. If you’re noticing any of the following, it’s highly likely your BCM is the culprit:
- Power windows, door locks, or mirrors operating erratically or not at all.
- Interior dome lights or exterior lamps staying on or not turning on.
- Instrument cluster warning lights illuminating without reason.
- Remote keyless entry failing to work.
- Intermittent no-start or no-crank conditions.
- Communication error codes (U-codes) stored in the system.
This isn’t just a replacement part; it’s a complete restoration of your vehicle’s core electronic functions. We handle the complex programming by cloning the essential data from your original BCM to this fully tested replacement unit. The result is a Programmed 2013-2017 GMC Terrain BCM that is ready to install upon arrival, seamlessly integrating with your vehicle’s existing systems without requiring a trip to the dealer.

As a technician with over 20 years of experience, I’ve seen countless drivers frustrated by BCM failures. The symptoms can seem random and are often misdiagnosed, leading to expensive, unnecessary repairs. The beauty of our cloning service is its precision. We’re not just sending you a generic part; we’re transferring the unique ‘digital DNA’ from your original module to a fully tested replacement. This preserves critical information like your vehicle’s VIN, security keys, and specific options, which is why it works so seamlessly right out of the box. It’s the most reliable way to solve these complex electrical gremlins for good.
Important Post-Installation Information
While our Programmed 2013-2017 GMC Terrain BCM is designed for a simple installation, some vehicles may require minor electronic relearn procedures to ensure all systems communicate correctly. This can include:
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag light is on after installation, a professional scan tool is needed to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: This may be necessary 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 steps.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does this programming service work?
It’s simple. After you place your order, we will contact you with instructions to securely package and ship your original BCM to our facility. Once we receive it, our technicians will clone the necessary data to the replacement module and ship it back to you, typically within 1-2 business days.
Will I need to do any programming myself?
No. The module arrives pre-programmed and ready for installation. However, as noted in our description, some vehicles may require a simple relearn procedure for systems like the airbag or brake pedal position sensor, which can be done with a compatible professional scan tool.
How do I know if this BCM will fit my vehicle?
This module is compatible with a wide range of GM vehicles, including the 2013-2017 GMC Terrain and Chevy Equinox. Please review the detailed fitment list and cross-reference the part numbers (e.g., 13589324, 13584695, 13586273) on your original BCM to ensure compatibility.
What happens if my airbag light comes on after installation?
This is an occasional and known possibility with GM vehicles. It means the new BCM needs to be electronically introduced to the airbag system’s Supplemental Inflatable Restraint (SIR) module. A technician with a professional-grade scan tool will need to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure to sync the modules and turn off the light.
Is this a permanent fix for my electrical issues?
Yes, if the Body Control Module has been correctly diagnosed as the source of the problem, this service provides a complete and lasting solution. It restores the BCM’s functionality to factory specifications, resolving the erratic electrical behavior caused by the failing original unit.
