Restore Full Functionality to Your Cadillac SRX
Are you dealing with baffling electrical issues in your 2014-2016 Cadillac SRX? One minute the power windows work, the next they don’t. Maybe the dash lights flicker randomly, or the security system acts up for no reason. These aren’t just annoyances; they’re classic signs of a failing Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM is the central command center for your vehicle’s comfort and convenience features, and when it starts to go, it can create a cascade of frustrating, unpredictable problems. This isn’t a part you can just swap out. A new BCM from the dealer requires expensive, complex programming. Our solution bypasses that headache completely.
We offer a reliable, pre-programmed 2014-2016 SRX Body Control Module that gets you back on the road without a trip to the dealership. Our professional cloning service transfers the essential data from your original, failing BCM directly onto this replacement unit. This means the replacement module arrives at your door ready for a true plug-and-play installation, perfectly matched to your vehicle’s specific configuration and options. It’s the most efficient and cost-effective way to solve those persistent electrical gremlins for good.
Case Study: A Tricky Diagnosis
A customer brought in a 2015 SRX with a complaint that was all over the map. The radio would shut off, the dome lights would stay on, and occasionally he’d get a “Service Stabilitrak” message. He’d already replaced the battery, but the problems persisted. On the surface, these symptoms seem unrelated. However, after connecting my scan tool, I found multiple communication loss codes (U-codes) pointing to the BCM. In my 20+ years in the bay, I’ve learned that when multiple, unrelated electronic systems fail at once, the BCM is the prime suspect. It’s the common link. We performed our cloning service, the customer installed the new module in under an hour, and every single issue was resolved. This is a perfect example of how a single failing component can wreak havoc across the entire vehicle.
Common Signs of a Failing SRX BCM
- ✔ Erratic or non-functional power windows, door locks, and mirrors.
- ✔ Interior or exterior lights that won’t turn on or off correctly.
- ✔ The security system engaging randomly or the key fob not working.
- ✔ Inaccurate gauge readings on the instrument cluster.
- ✔ Warning lights such as the airbag or traction control light illuminating.
- ✔ Communication error codes (DTCs like U0140, U0155) stored in the system.
- ✔ In some cases, a no-start condition where the BCM fails to recognize the key.

- ✔ Purchase: Complete your order for this 2014-2016 SRX Body Control Module.
- ✔ We Contact You: We will reach out with clear, step-by-step instructions for shipping your original BCM to our facility. Please ensure your contact information is accurate.
- ✔ We Program: Once we receive your module, our technicians will professionally transfer all necessary data to the replacement unit.
- ✔ We Ship Back: We ship your newly programmed, ready-to-install BCM back to you, typically within 1-2 business days, and provide you with tracking information.
Your Straightforward BCM Installation Guide
- ✔ Safety First: Always disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery before beginning any electrical work.
- ✔ Locate the BCM: On the 2014-2016 Cadillac SRX, the Body Control Module is typically located behind the driver’s side of the dashboard, near the kick panel area.
- ✔ Remove the Old Module: Carefully unplug the electrical connectors. They have locking tabs that need to be depressed. Then, unbolt the module from its mounting bracket.
- ✔ Install the New Module: Mount the replacement BCM and securely plug in all the electrical connectors. You should hear a ‘click’ as they lock into place.
- ✔ Reconnect and Test: Reconnect the negative battery terminal. Start the vehicle and test all body functions—windows, locks, lights, wipers, etc.—to confirm the repair.
Important Post-Installation Information
While our cloning service makes this a plug-and-play repair, some GM vehicles may require a simple relearn procedure after installation. This is normal. Key items to be aware of include:
- 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.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: On some models, a brake pedal position sensor recalibration might be necessary to ensure the brake lights and traction control system function as intended.
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
What exactly is a BCM cloning service?
Cloning is the process of reading the unique, vehicle-specific software—including key information, security data, and optional feature settings—from your original BCM and writing it onto a replacement module. This makes the replacement an identical twin to your original, allowing it to work in your car without any dealer programming.
Is this process difficult? What do I need to do?
It’s very simple for you. Just place your order, and we will email you detailed instructions on how to remove and ship your original BCM to us. Once we receive it, we handle all the technical work and ship the ready-to-install part back to you.
Why is this better than buying a used BCM from a junkyard?
A standard used BCM is programmed to a different vehicle. It will not work in your car without being reprogrammed by a dealer, which is costly and often not possible. Our cloning service ensures the BCM you receive is 100% compatible with your car’s existing systems right out of the box.
What if my original BCM is too damaged to be read?
In most cases, even with significant internal failure, we can still retrieve the necessary data. If we determine your module is unreadable, we will contact you immediately to discuss options and will provide a full refund if we cannot complete the service.
Do I need to send my keys with the BCM?
No, you do not need to send your keys. All the necessary security information is stored within the Body Control Module itself, which is what makes our cloning process so convenient.
Do I have to return my old BCM after I get the replacement?
No. There is no core charge for this part. You only need to send us your original BCM for the data transfer service. You can keep your old module afterward.
