Tired of Unpredictable Electrical Problems in Your Cadillac?
If you’re dealing with bizarre electrical gremlins in your 2014-2016 Cadillac SRX, you’ve come to the right place. The Body Control Module (BCM) is the central command center for your vehicle’s body electronics—everything from power windows and locks to interior lighting and the security system. When it starts to fail, it can feel like the vehicle has a mind of its own, causing immense frustration and diagnostic headaches. This isn’t just an inconvenience; it can affect your vehicle’s safety and daily usability.
Our solution is designed to be the most straightforward and cost-effective fix available. We provide a fully tested replacement BCM that is programmed with the data from your original module. This cloning service makes the replacement process simple, bypassing the need for expensive dealership visits, programming fees, and towing charges. You get a part that is plug-and-play, ready to restore your vehicle’s functions right out of the box.
From the Diagnostic Bay: The Case of the Confused Cadillac
I remember a 2015 SRX that came into the shop with a list of complaints that seemed completely unrelated. The driver’s side window wouldn’t go down, the radio would randomly shut off, and the key fob only worked intermittently. The owner had already replaced the window switch and the battery, with no success. After hooking up the scan tool, I saw a handful of communication codes (U-codes) pointing to a network issue. In my 20+ years of experience, these widespread, chaotic symptoms almost always point to one culprit: a failing BCM. It’s the central hub, and when it malfunctions, it sends confusing signals across the entire vehicle network. We confirmed the diagnosis, and a cloned 2014-2016 SRX BCM had the vehicle operating perfectly in under an hour of shop time, saving the customer hundreds compared to the dealership quote.

Is Your Cadillac SRX Showing These Signs of BCM Failure?
- ✔ Power windows, door locks, or mirrors operating erratically or not at all.
- ✔ Interior or exterior lights flickering, staying on, or not turning on.
- ✔ The key fob is not being detected, or the push-to-start system fails.
- ✔ The anti-theft or security system light is illuminated on the dash.
- ✔ Multiple communication Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs), such as U0140, U0155, or U0164.
- ✔ Wipers or radio turning on and off by themselves.
Your Straightforward BCM Installation Guide
Installing your newly programmed 2014-2016 SRX BCM is a manageable task for a confident DIYer or any professional mechanic. For the 2014-2016 Cadillac SRX, the BCM is typically located behind the left-hand (driver’s side) of the dashboard.
- Safety First: Always disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery and wait a few minutes to allow the systems to discharge completely.
- Access the Module: You will likely need to remove the lower dash panel or kick panel on the driver’s side to gain access to the BCM.
- Disconnect and Remove: Carefully unplug the electrical connectors from the old BCM. They have locking tabs that need to be depressed. Once disconnected, unbolt or unclip the module from its mounting bracket.
- Install the New BCM: Mount the replacement module in the same location and securely reconnect all electrical connectors. Ensure they click into place.
- Power Up: Reconnect the negative battery terminal. Turn the ignition on and test all body functions (windows, locks, lights, wipers, etc.) to confirm proper operation.
Important Post-Installation Notes
While our cloning service makes this a plug-and-play part, some vehicle systems may require a quick sync-up procedure after installation:
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is on after installation, a simple “Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM” procedure must be performed with a professional-grade scan tool. This is only necessary if the light appears.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: On some models, a brake pedal position sensor relearn might be needed to ensure the brake lights and traction control system function correctly.
- Disclaimer: Procedures can vary. We always recommend consulting a factory service manual or a qualified technician for vehicle-specific guidance.

Frequently Asked Questions About the 2014-2016 SRX BCM
Frequently Asked Questions
What does a BCM cloning service do?
Cloning is the process of transferring all the essential data—like the VIN, key fob information, and specific vehicle options—from your original BCM to the replacement one. This makes the new module a perfect digital copy, allowing it to work in your car without any additional programming.
Do I need a dealership to install this part?
No. Because we pre-program the module for you, you or your trusted mechanic can install it without needing any special dealer-only computer equipment. This saves you significant time and money.
Where is the BCM located on my 2015 Cadillac SRX?
On the 2014-2016 SRX, the Body Control Module is typically found behind the dashboard on the driver’s side, near the steering column or kick panel area.
How long does the programming service take?
We pride ourselves on a fast turnaround. Once we receive your original module, our programming and testing process is typically completed within 1-2 business days before we ship the replacement unit back to you.
What if my airbag light comes on after installation?
This is a possibility as the BCM and Airbag Module (SDM) communicate. If the light appears, a technician with a capable scan tool will need to perform the “Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM” procedure to sync the two modules. It’s a quick procedure that resolves the light.
Is there a core charge for this part?
No, there is no core charge. You are not required to send your old part back to us after the service is complete, though we do need it initially for the data transfer.
