Restore Your Cadillac’s Electrical System with a Hassle-Free Solution
Are you dealing with baffling electrical gremlins in your 2014-2016 Cadillac SRX? Flickering lights, malfunctioning power windows, a security system that acts up, or even a frustrating no-start condition can often be traced back to a single culprit: a failing Body Control Module (BCM). As a technician with over two decades of experience, I’ve seen how a faulty BCM can turn a luxury vehicle into a source of constant headaches. The dealership solution is often a new module followed by a very expensive programming fee. We offer a smarter, more affordable path forward.
This is not just a replacement part; it’s a complete service. We provide a fully functional BCM that is professionally programmed with the data from your vehicle’s original module. This cloning process ensures that the replacement unit is a perfect match for your SRX’s specific configuration, including its VIN and key fob information. The result is a simple, plug-in-and-go installation that gets you back on the road without the time and expense of a dealership visit.
Case Study: A Tricky Diagnosis
A customer brought in their 2015 SRX with a laundry list of complaints: the radio would randomly shut off, the dome lights wouldn’t work, and occasionally, the key fob was not detected. They had already replaced the battery, but the issues persisted. After running diagnostics, I found several communication error codes (U-codes) pointing to a network problem. Instead of shotgunning parts, we honed in on the BCM as the central communication hub. A failing BCM can disrupt the entire CAN bus network, causing these exact types of widespread, seemingly unrelated symptoms. By providing a cloned 2014-2016 SRX BCM, we restored all functions perfectly, saving the customer hundreds compared to the dealer quote.
Is Your Cadillac SRX Showing These Symptoms?
A failing BCM can manifest in numerous ways. If you’re experiencing any of the following, your Body Control Module is the likely cause:
- ✔ Erratic power windows, door locks, or mirrors
- ✔ Interior or exterior lights flickering, staying on, or not working at all
- ✔ The anti-theft or security system light is on or flashing
- ✔ Key fobs are not being recognized, or remote functions fail
- ✔ Intermittent no-start condition where the engine cranks but won’t fire
- ✔ Warning messages on the driver information center (DIC)
- ✔ Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) like U0140, U0155, or other communication faults
Your Straightforward BCM Installation Guide
Installing your programmed module is a manageable task for a confident DIYer. The BCM on the 2014-2016 SRX is located behind the dashboard on the driver’s side.
- Safety First: Always disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery and wait a few minutes before starting work.
- Locate the BCM: On the SRX, the BCM is typically found on the left-hand (driver’s) side of the dash. You may need to remove a lower dash panel or kick panel for access.
- Disconnect and Remove: Carefully unplug the electrical connectors from the old BCM. Note their orientation. Then, unbolt or unclip the module from its mounting bracket.
- Install the New Module: Mount your newly programmed BCM in the same location and securely reconnect all electrical connectors. Ensure they click into place.
- Reconnect Power: Reattach the negative battery terminal. Your vehicle is now ready to start.
Important Post-Installation Notes
While our cloning service for the 2014-2016 SRX BCM makes this a plug-and-play repair, some GM vehicles require a final handshake between modules. Be aware of these potential, but not always necessary, procedures:
- Airbag System Sync: If your airbag warning light is illuminated after installation, a professional scan tool is needed to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure. This syncs the new BCM with the airbag system.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: In some cases, a brake pedal position sensor relearn may be required to ensure your brake lights and traction control system function correctly. This also requires a capable diagnostic tool.
Disclaimer: We are not responsible for any labor costs. Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician if you are unsure about any step.

How does this mail-in programming service work?
How does this 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 us. Once we receive it, our technicians will transfer all the essential data to the replacement module. We then ship the newly programmed module back to you, ready for installation. There is no core charge, and you can keep your original part.
Do I need to go to the dealer after installing this BCM?
No! Our cloning service is designed to completely eliminate the need for dealership programming, saving you significant time and money. In rare cases, a simple relearn procedure may be needed as described above, but this can be done by most independent shops.
Where is the BCM located on my 2015 Cadillac SRX?
For the 2014-2016 Cadillac SRX, the Body Control Module is located behind the dashboard on the driver’s side (LH dash). Access typically requires removing the lower dash trim panel.
How long does the entire process take?
We typically program and ship your replacement module the same day we receive your original BCM. The total turnaround time will depend on shipping times to and from our facility.
What if my airbag light comes on after installation?
This is a known possibility on some GM vehicles. If the airbag light appears, it simply means the new BCM needs to be electronically introduced to the airbag system. A procedure called ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ will need to be performed with a professional diagnostic tool to clear the light.
