Restore Full Functionality to Your Cadillac SRX
Is your 2014-2016 Cadillac SRX suffering from baffling electrical problems? Intermittent warning lights, power windows with a mind of their own, or security system alerts can often be traced back to a single component: 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 daily frustration. It’s the central hub for your vehicle’s comfort and convenience features, and when it fails, chaos ensues. This isn’t just an inconvenience; it can affect vehicle security and safety systems.
We offer a straightforward, reliable solution. Instead of paying for expensive diagnostics and programming fees at the dealership, our service provides you with a replacement BCM that is pre-programmed specifically for your vehicle. We achieve this by cloning the essential data from your original module. This makes the replacement process as simple as swapping the part, getting you back on the road without the dealership headache.
A Technician’s Notebook
I remember a 2015 SRX that came into the shop with a list of complaints that seemed unrelated. The dome lights would flicker, the driver’s side power lock wouldn’t work, and the radio would randomly shut off. The owner had already replaced the battery, thinking it was a simple power issue. After connecting my scan tool, I found a series of U-codes (communication errors) pointing to the BCM. Instead of a complex wiring issue, the BCM itself was internally failing, corrupting the communication network. By providing a cloned 2014-2016 SRX Body Control Module, we restored all functions in a single afternoon, saving the customer hundreds compared to the dealer quote.
Common Signs of a Failing BCM
If you’re experiencing these issues, a failing BCM is the likely culprit. A faulty module can cause a wide range of symptoms, as it controls so many different systems. Look out for:
- ✔ Erratic or non-functional interior and exterior lights.
- ✔ Power windows, door locks, or mirrors not working correctly.
- ✔ The security system or keyless entry failing intermittently.
- ✔ Warning lights on the dashboard for systems like ABS, Traction Control, or Airbags.
- ✔ Communication error codes (U-codes) when scanned with a diagnostic tool.
- ✔ Problems with the radio or infotainment system.
A Straightforward Guide to Installation
Our cloning service makes installing your replacement 2014-2016 SRX Body Control Module a simple plug-and-play process. No special programming tools are required on your end.
- Step 1: Locate the BCM. In the 2014-2016 Cadillac SRX, the BCM is typically located behind the dashboard on the driver’s side (LH dash).
- Step 2: Disconnect Power. For your safety, always disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery before working on electrical components.
- Step 3: Remove the Original Module. Carefully unplug the electrical connectors from the BCM and unbolt it from its mounting bracket.
- Step 4: Install the Replacement. Mount your new, pre-programmed BCM and securely reconnect all electrical connectors.
- Step 5: Reconnect and Test. Reconnect the negative battery terminal. Start the vehicle and test all body functions—lights, locks, windows, etc.—to confirm the repair.
Important Post-Installation Notes
While our programming handles the critical vehicle data, some GM vehicles require system handshakes after a new module is installed. Be aware of the following possibilities:
- Airbag System Sync: If the 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, the brake pedal position sensor may need to be recalibrated to ensure correct brake light and traction control operation.
Disclaimer: Vehicle systems vary. Always refer to a factory service manual or consult a qualified professional if you are unsure about any step.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does this programming service work?
After you place your order, we will contact you with instructions to ship your original BCM to us. We then extract the necessary data and transfer it to the replacement unit. This makes the new module plug-and-play for your specific vehicle. We then ship the programmed module back to you.
Do I need to take my car to the dealer after installation?
No. Our cloning service eliminates the need for any additional programming at the dealership, saving you time and money. The only exception may be specific relearn procedures like for the airbag or brake pedal sensor, if required.
Where is the BCM located on a 2015 Cadillac SRX?
The Body Control Module on a 2014-2016 SRX is located on the driver’s side, behind the lower part of the dashboard.
What if my original part number is not 13589115?
Please check the comprehensive list of compatible part numbers in our description. This module replaces several different part numbers that share the same hardware.
Is there a core charge for this part?
No, there is no core charge. You can keep your original module after sending it in for the data cloning service.
What happens if the airbag light comes on after I install the new BCM?
This indicates the BCM needs to be synced with the airbag system’s Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM). A procedure called ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ will need to be performed with a professional diagnostic tool to clear the light.
