Restore Your Cadillac’s Electrical System with a Hassle-Free Solution
As a technician with over two decades of experience, I’ve seen firsthand how a failing Body Control Module (BCM) can turn a luxury vehicle like your 2014-2016 Cadillac SRX into a source of constant frustration. Are you dealing with flickering lights, power windows with a mind of their own, or a security system that randomly acts up? These aren’t just annoyances; they’re classic signs that the central nervous system of your vehicle’s electronics—the BCM—is failing. This isn’t a part you can just swap out. It contains vital security and vehicle-specific data. Going to the dealership means high costs for the part, labor, and programming. Our solution bypasses that completely.
We offer a reliable Body Control Module, part number 13594564, that comes pre-programmed with your vehicle’s exact data. The process is simple: you send us your original BCM, we professionally transfer all the critical information to this replacement unit, and then we ship it right back to you. When it arrives, it’s ready for installation, eliminating the need for expensive dealer-only programming tools. This is the most efficient and cost-effective way to get your SRX back to perfect working order.
A Technician’s Notebook: The SRX with Phantom Problems
A customer brought in a ’15 SRX with a laundry list of bizarre issues: the radio would shut off, the dome lights wouldn’t work, and sometimes the key fob was unresponsive. They’d been to two other shops that couldn’t find the cause because no consistent trouble codes were stored. When I hooked up my professional scan tool, I noticed intermittent communication loss with several modules. This pointed directly to the BCM. Instead of a costly new module and hours of programming at the dealer, we used a cloned unit like this one. After a 30-minute install, every single electrical gremlin was gone. The customer was thrilled to have their luxury car back without the luxury repair bill.
Is Your SRX Showing These BCM Failure Symptoms?
A failing BCM can cause a wide range of confusing electrical problems. If you’re experiencing any of the following, this module is likely the solution you need for your 2014-2016 SRX BCM.
- âś” Erratic or non-functional interior/exterior lights (headlights, dome lights, dash lights).
- âś” Power windows, door locks, or mirrors not working correctly or at all.
- âś” Vehicle’s security system or remote keyless entry malfunctioning.
- âś” The engine won’t start, or the starter doesn’t engage, even with a good battery.
- âś” Multiple unrelated warning lights illuminated on the instrument cluster.
- âś” Stored diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) related to communication errors, such as U0100, U0140, or various B-series codes.
A Straightforward Guide to Your BCM Installation
Installing your pre-programmed BCM is a manageable job for a DIY enthusiast. On the 2014-2016 SRX, the BCM is typically located behind the left-hand (driver’s side) of the dashboard. Always confirm the location in a service manual for your specific vehicle.
- Safety First: Disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery and wait at least 10 minutes to allow all systems to power down completely.
- Access the Module: Carefully remove the necessary trim panels to gain access to the old BCM. This is usually the lower dash panel on the driver’s side.
- Disconnect and Remove: Unplug the electrical connectors from the original BCM. They have locking tabs that need to be depressed. Once disconnected, unbolt or unclip the module from its mounting bracket.
- Install the New Module: Mount your new, pre-programmed BCM in the same location and securely reconnect all electrical connectors. Ensure they click into place.
- Reassemble and Reconnect: Reinstall the trim panels you removed. Reconnect the negative battery terminal.
- Post-Installation Checks: Start the vehicle and test all body functions—lights, windows, locks, radio, etc. Please see the important notes below regarding potential follow-up procedures.
Important Post-Installation Information
While our programming makes this a plug-and-play repair, some vehicle systems may require a recalibration after the BCM is replaced. This is normal. The two most common procedures are:
- Airbag System Sync: If your 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 new BCM with the airbag module.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: On some models, a brake pedal position sensor relearn may be required to ensure proper brake light and traction control operation.
Disclaimer: Specific procedures can vary. We always recommend consulting a factory service manual or a qualified technician for guidance.

How does the programming service work?
How does the programming service work?
It’s simple. After you place your order, we will contact you with instructions for shipping your original BCM to our facility. Once we receive it, our technicians will transfer the data to the replacement module and ship it back to you, typically within 1-2 business days. You keep your original module as there is no core charge.
Do I need a mechanic to install this?
Many of our customers are DIYers who can install the module themselves with basic hand tools. However, if you are not comfortable working around vehicle electronics or removing dash panels, we recommend seeking professional installation. Also, note that some post-installation procedures may require a professional scan tool.
What if this doesn’t fix my problem?
While a faulty BCM is the cause of these symptoms in the vast majority of cases, we always recommend proper diagnostics. If the module does not resolve your issue, it’s possible there is another underlying problem, such as a wiring fault or a different failed module. We are here to help with diagnostic advice if needed.
Is this a new or used part?
This is a high-quality, tested, and guaranteed functional used component. Each module is thoroughly inspected to ensure it meets our strict quality standards before being programmed and shipped to you.
Will my mileage and VIN be correct?
Yes. Our cloning service transfers all vehicle-specific data, including the VIN, mileage, and security information from your original BCM. The replacement module will be a perfect electronic match for your vehicle.
