Restore Your Cadillac’s Electrical System with a Hassle-Free Solution
Are you dealing with baffling electrical issues in your Cadillac SRX? Flickering lights, malfunctioning power windows or locks, a security system that acts up, or random warning lights on the dash are common signs of a failing Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM is the central computer for your vehicle’s comfort and convenience features, and when it fails, it can make your car feel unreliable and frustrating. Going to the dealership often means a hefty bill for a new module and expensive programming fees. We offer a simpler, more affordable path forward.
This is a fully tested, replacement Body Control Module for your 2014-2016 Cadillac SRX. The key to our service is our professional cloning process. You simply send us your original BCM, and we transfer all the critical vehicle-specific data—including VIN, mileage, and key information—to this replacement unit. The module you receive back will be 100% plug-and-play, requiring no additional programming or trips to the dealer. It’s the most effective way to get your vehicle back to perfect working order without the typical dealership hassle.
A Technician’s Notebook
I recently had a 2015 Cadillac SRX in the bay that was driving its owner crazy. The main complaints were that the radio would sometimes not turn on, the driver’s side window wouldn’t work intermittently, and the remote start failed half the time. There were no check engine lights, just a slew of communication (U-prefix) codes stored in various modules. After confirming power and ground to the BCM were solid, we knew the module itself was the culprit. Instead of a costly dealer replacement, we used this exact cloning service. The customer shipped their module, we sent it out for data transfer, and the replacement unit arrived back ready to install. It immediately solved all the phantom electrical problems. It’s a reliable fix that saves both time and money.
Is Your Cadillac Exhibiting These BCM Failure Signs?
- ✔ Power windows, door locks, or interior lights operating erratically or not at all.
- ✔ The anti-theft or security system preventing the car from starting.
- ✔ Dashboard warning lights (like ABS or Airbag) illuminating for no reason.
- ✔ Remote key fob functions failing intermittently.
- ✔ Diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) related to communication, such as U0140 (Lost Communication With Body Control Module).
- ✔ Horn, wipers, or other accessories activating on their own.
Your Straightforward Installation Guide
- ✔ Safety First: Always disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery before starting any electrical work.
- ✔ Locate the BCM: On the 2014-2016 Cadillac SRX, the Body Control Module is typically located on the left-hand (driver’s) side of the dash. You may need to remove a lower dash panel for access.
- ✔ Disconnect and Remove: Carefully unplug the electrical connectors from the module. Press the release tabs firmly to avoid damaging them. Once disconnected, unbolt or unclip the module from its mounting bracket and remove it from the vehicle.
- ✔ Install the New Module: Mount the replacement BCM you received from us into the same location. Secure it firmly and reconnect all electrical connectors, ensuring they click into place.
- ✔ Reconnect Power: Re-attach the negative battery terminal.
- ✔ Perform Final Checks: Start the vehicle and test all body functions—windows, locks, lights, radio, etc.—to confirm the repair. Note the post-installation procedures below, as some recalibration may be necessary.
Important Notes on Post-Installation Procedures
While our programming service makes this a plug-and-play repair, some vehicle systems may require a quick sync-up after the new BCM is installed. This is a normal part of the process.
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is on after installation, a professional scan tool is needed to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure. This syncs the airbag system with the new BCM. This is only required if the light appears.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: To ensure your brake lights and traction control system function correctly, a brake pedal position sensor relearn might be needed. This can also be done with a compatible diagnostic tool.
Disclaimer: Vehicle systems vary. We always recommend consulting a factory service manual or a qualified technician if you are unsure about any step.

Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the mail-in programming service work?
It’s simple! After you place your order, we will contact you with instructions to ship your original BCM to our facility. Once we receive it, our technicians will transfer all the necessary data to the replacement module. We then ship the plug-and-play replacement back to you, typically within 1-2 business days.
Will I need to get this module programmed by a dealer?
No. The entire point of our service is to eliminate the need for any additional programming. Because we clone the data from your original part, the replacement module is ready for installation right out of the box.
What if my original BCM is completely dead or not communicating?
In many cases, even if the BCM is failing, we can still extract the necessary data. Please contact us before ordering if your module is severely damaged by water or fire, or if it has no communication whatsoever with a diagnostic scan tool.
Is there a core charge for this 2014-2016 SRX BCM?
No, there is no core charge. We only need your original module for the data cloning service. You can keep your old module after the service is complete.
How do I know if the BCM is really the problem?
Diagnosing a BCM can be tricky. The best way is to have a professional technician check for communication codes (U-codes) and verify power and ground at the module. The symptoms listed above are strong indicators, but proper diagnosis is always recommended to ensure you’re replacing the correct part.
