Restore Your Vehicle’s Electrical System with a Plug-and-Play Solution
Are you battling frustrating and unpredictable electrical issues in your Chevrolet Malibu or other compatible GM vehicle? Failing Body Control Modules (BCMs) can cause a cascade of problems, from non-working power windows and locks to dashboard warning lights and even no-start conditions. Instead of facing a costly and complicated trip to the dealership, our professional programming service provides a simple, reliable, and affordable solution to get your car back to perfect working order.
This service is designed for a seamless repair. You simply ship your original BCM to us. Our expert technicians will then extract the unique, vehicle-specific data and clone it onto this fully tested replacement module. We then ship the programmed unit back to you, ready for a plug-and-play installation. This process ensures all your vehicle’s original settings and security information are preserved, eliminating the need for any additional programming or calibration tools. It’s the most effective way to solve your BCM problems and is a core part of our 2014-2016 Malibu BCM programming service.
Common Symptoms & Your Solution
A failing BCM can manifest in many ways. If you’re experiencing any of the following, this service is your definitive fix:
- Erratic or non-functional interior/exterior lights
- Power windows, door locks, or mirrors not working correctly
- Intermittent or constant warning lights on the instrument cluster (ABS, Airbag, Check Engine)
- Problems with the vehicle’s security system or remote keyless entry
- Communication errors with other modules (U-codes)
- Engine will not crank or start, despite a good battery and starter

- ✔ Preserves Original Functions: All your vehicle’s specific options, VIN, and security information are transferred, ensuring perfect compatibility and operation.
- ✔ Fast & Efficient Process: We prioritize a quick turnaround once we receive your original module, minimizing your vehicle’s downtime.
- ✔ Broad GM Compatibility: This module and service cover a wide range of vehicles beyond the Malibu. Please see our comprehensive fitment list below.
- ✔ Guaranteed Peace of Mind: This unit is backed by our one-year replacement warranty.
Expert Insight: Why Cloning is Superior
Many people consider buying a used BCM from a junkyard, but this often leads to more problems. A used module will have the VIN and security data from the donor car, which will cause a conflict with your vehicle’s systems, resulting in a no-start condition. Our cloning service for the 2014-2016 Malibu BCM programming service completely avoids this. We transfer your car’s exact digital identity to the replacement module, making it a perfect match that the rest of your vehicle’s computers will instantly recognize and accept.
Simple Mail-In Process
- Complete your purchase.
- We will contact you with secure shipping instructions for sending your original BCM to our facility.
- Once received, our technicians will perform the data cloning service.
- We ship the programmed replacement BCM back to you, typically within 1-2 business days.
Potential Post-Installation Steps
In some cases, minor relearn procedures may be needed after installation. These are straightforward and can often be performed with a capable scan tool:
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag light is on, a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure may be required to sync the systems.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: A recalibration of the brake pedal position sensor might be necessary for proper brake light and traction control function.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does this programming service work?
After you place your order, we will provide instructions for you to ship your original Body Control Module to us. We then copy the critical data from your module to a replacement unit and ship the new, programmed module back to you for a simple plug-and-play installation.
Is this a repair service for my original BCM?
No, this is a data cloning service. We are not repairing your old module. We are transferring its data to a fully functional replacement module. You will get to keep your original module as we do not require a core return.
Will I need to go to the dealer for programming after installation?
Absolutely not. The entire purpose of our 2014-2016 Malibu BCM programming service is to deliver a module that is ready to install right out of the box, with no additional programming required.
What if my original BCM is completely dead or unreadable?
In most cases, even with significant internal failure, we are able to retrieve the necessary data. If your module has extensive damage (e.g., from fire or water), please contact us before ordering so we can discuss the available options.
How long does the process take?
Our in-house service is very fast. We typically program and ship your replacement module within 1-2 business days of receiving your original BCM. The total time will depend on shipping transit times.
What if I see an airbag light after installing the BCM?
This can occasionally happen. It simply means the BCM needs to be electronically introduced to the airbag module (SDM). This is done via a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure, which can be performed by a qualified technician with a professional diagnostic tool.
