Restore Full Functionality to Your 2014-2015 Chevrolet Volt
Are you dealing with baffling electrical issues in your Chevy Volt? Intermittent power windows, flickering lights, malfunctioning door locks, or strange warning messages on the dash are classic signs of a failing Body Control Module (BCM). As the central nervous system for your vehicle’s electronics, a faulty BCM can make driving frustrating and unpredictable. This isn’t just an inconvenience; it can affect vehicle security and safety systems. Instead of facing a costly trip to the dealership for a new module and complex programming, we offer a streamlined, reliable solution.
We provide a fully programmed 2014-2015 Volt BCM that is a direct-fit replacement. Our professional cloning service transfers all the essential data—including VIN, mileage, and security information—from your original BCM to this replacement unit. The result is a true plug-and-play module, ready for installation right out of the box, eliminating the need for expensive dealer tools or additional programming fees.
A Technician’s Notebook: The Intermittent Gremlin
I once had a 2015 Volt in my bay that was driving its owner crazy. The power locks would work one minute and not the next, and the radio would randomly shut off. Scans showed intermittent communication loss codes (U-codes) with multiple modules. After checking all the wiring and grounds, which looked perfect, I focused on the BCM. On the surface, it seemed fine. But by monitoring data streams during a test drive, I saw the BCM would momentarily drop offline, causing the chaos. We cloned his original module to one of our tested units, and the problems vanished instantly. It’s a perfect example of how a failing BCM can mimic a dozen other issues.
Is Your Volt Showing These Symptoms?
- ✔ Power windows, door locks, or mirrors operate erratically or not at all.
- ✔ Interior or exterior lights flicker, stay on, or fail to turn on.
- ✔ The vehicle’s security system acts up, or the key fob is unresponsive.
- ✔ Warning lights for various systems (like ABS or Airbag) appear on the dash.
- ✔ Communication error codes (e.g., U0140, U0155) are stored in the system.
- ✔ The engine may not crank or start due to immobilizer communication failure.
Our Simple and Secure Cloning Process
Our service is designed to be as straightforward as possible. After you place your order, we will contact you with clear, step-by-step instructions for shipping your original BCM to our facility. Once we receive it, our technicians will perform a full data transfer to the replacement module. We then ship the newly programmed 2014-2015 Volt BCM back to you, typically within 24-48 hours, complete with tracking information. You get your vehicle back to 100% without ever leaving your garage for programming.
A Straightforward Guide to Installation
- ✔ Safety First: Disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s 12V battery to prevent any electrical shorts.
- ✔ Locate the BCM: On the 2014-2015 Volt, the Body Control Module is located in the engine compartment on the right-hand (passenger) side.
- ✔ Disconnect and Remove: Carefully unplug all electrical connectors from the old BCM. Note their orientation. Then, unfasten the mounting bolts or clips holding the module in place and remove it.
- ✔ Install the New BCM: Mount your newly programmed BCM in the same location, ensuring it is secure.
- ✔ Reconnect Everything: Plug all the electrical connectors back into the new module firmly. Reconnect the negative battery terminal.
- ✔ Test Functionality: Start the vehicle and test all body functions—windows, locks, lights, wipers, etc.—to confirm the repair was successful.
Important Post-Installation Information
While our cloning service makes this a plug-and-play repair, some GM vehicles may require a simple relearn procedure after installation. Please be aware of the following:
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is illuminated after installation, a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure must be performed with a professional scan tool. This syncs the airbag system with the new BCM.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: On some models, a brake pedal position sensor recalibration might be necessary to ensure correct brake light operation and traction control system performance.
Disclaimer: Specific procedures can vary. Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician for guidance specific to your vehicle.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the cloning service work after I order?
After your purchase, we will email you detailed instructions and a shipping address. You’ll send us your original BCM. Once we receive it, we transfer the data to the replacement unit and ship it back to you, usually within one business day.
Do I need to get this module programmed by a dealer?
No. Our cloning service means the module arrives pre-programmed and ready for installation. This completely bypasses the need for any dealership programming, saving you time and money.
Is there a core charge for this part?
No, there is no core charge. We only need your original module to perform the data transfer service. You can keep your old part after the service is complete.
What tools are required for the post-installation procedures?
If required, the Airbag System Sync and Brake Pedal Position Relearn procedures need a professional-grade bidirectional scan tool. Many independent repair shops have this equipment if you are not equipped for it.
What happens if my original BCM is completely dead?
In many cases, even if the BCM is non-functional in the vehicle, we can still extract the necessary data from the memory chip. Please contact us with details about your module’s condition if you have concerns.
