Restore Full Functionality to Your Vehicle’s Electronics
Are you battling frustrating and unpredictable electrical problems in your Buick Verano, Chevy Cruze, or GMC Terrain? Issues like flickering lights, malfunctioning power windows and locks, or a security system that acts on its own are classic signs of a failing Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM is the central command center for your vehicle’s body electronics, and when it fails, it can create a cascade of confusing and annoying symptoms. This replacement BCM, part number 13589197, is the definitive solution to restore order and get your vehicle operating as it should.
We offer a hassle-free mail-in programming service that makes this repair straightforward and cost-effective. Instead of paying for expensive dealership programming and calibration, you simply send us your original BCM. We will then transfer all the critical vehicle-specific data—including VIN, mileage, and key information—to this replacement unit. The module you receive back will be a true plug-and-play solution, ready for installation without any further programming required.
Common Symptoms of a Failing BCM
- ✔ Erratic or non-functional interior and exterior lights (headlights, taillights, dome lights).
- ✔ Power windows, door locks, or mirrors not working correctly or at all.
- ✔ Vehicle’s anti-theft or security system malfunctioning, causing no-start conditions.
- ✔ Horn honking unexpectedly or not working when pressed.
- ✔ Wipers operating intermittently or not turning off.
- ✔ False warnings or error messages appearing on the dashboard instrument cluster.
- ✔ Key fobs failing to lock or unlock the doors.
Your Plug-and-Play 2013-2017 Verano BCM Solution
Our professional cloning service is designed to save you time, money, and frustration. A new BCM from the dealership requires specialized tools and software to program it to your specific vehicle. A used module from a salvage yard will contain the wrong data and will not work correctly. Our service bypasses these hurdles completely. By precisely copying the data from your original module, we ensure the replacement is a perfect electronic match for your car. This maintains all original factory settings and key programming, making the installation process as simple as swapping the part.
How Our Programming Service Works:
- ✔ Place Your Order: Complete your purchase through our secure checkout.
- ✔ Ship Us Your Original BCM: We will provide you with detailed instructions on how to safely remove and ship your original module to our facility. Please ensure your contact information is correct.
- ✔ We Perform the Cloning: Upon receipt, our technicians will expertly transfer all the necessary data from your old BCM to this replacement unit.
- ✔ Receive Your Ready-to-Install Module: We ship the newly programmed BCM back to you, typically within 1-2 business days. You will receive tracking information once it’s on its way.
Installation and Post-Install Procedures
Physical installation is generally straightforward, as the BCM is located in an accessible area (such as the LH side of the dash or kick panel, depending on your model). Once installed, the module is ready to go. However, in some GM vehicles, additional synchronization procedures may be needed:
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is illuminated after installation, a professional scan tool must be used to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure. This syncs the new BCM with the airbag system.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: On certain models, a brake pedal position sensor recalibration might be necessary to ensure correct brake light and traction control operation.
Disclaimer: Specific procedures can vary by vehicle. Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician for guidance.
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 range of electronic accessories not related to the engine, such as power windows, locks, lights, wipers, security system, and more. It acts as a central hub for these functions.
How does your cloning service work?
After you place your order, you ship your original BCM to us. We use specialized equipment to read the unique, vehicle-specific data (like VIN and key codes) from your module and write it onto the replacement unit. We then ship the programmed replacement back to you.
Will this BCM be plug-and-play?
Yes, because we clone the data from your original module, the replacement BCM will be plug-and-play. It will be ready for installation without the need for expensive dealership programming. Some models may require a simple relearn procedure as noted in the description.
What happens if my airbag light is on after installation?
If the airbag light appears, it means the BCM needs to be synchronized with the vehicle’s airbag module (SDM). This requires a professional scan tool to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure, which is a quick task for any qualified repair shop.
Why is this better than a junkyard BCM?
A BCM from a junkyard is programmed to a different vehicle. It will have the wrong VIN and security information, and it will not work correctly in your car. Our service ensures the module is a perfect electronic match for your specific vehicle.
