Restore Your Vehicle’s Functionality with an Expert-Programmed BCM
Are you battling frustrating electrical issues in your 2015 Corvette or other GM vehicle? Flickering lights, malfunctioning power windows, a haywire security system, or even a no-start condition can often be traced back to a single culprit: a failing Body Control Module (BCM). As the central hub for your vehicle’s body electronics, when the BCM goes down, it can create a cascade of baffling problems. In my 20+ years of automotive diagnostics, I’ve seen how a faulty BCM can make a perfectly good car feel unreliable. The dealership solution often involves hefty bills for the part, programming, and labor. We offer a smarter, more cost-effective alternative.
This is not just a replacement part; it’s a comprehensive programming service. You simply send us your vehicle’s original BCM, and we transfer all the critical vehicle-specific data—including VIN, mileage, and key information—to a fully tested replacement module. We then ship the ready-to-install BCM back to you. This process makes our 2015 Corvette BCM a true plug-and-play solution, eliminating the need for expensive dealership scan tools or towing your car to a service center. Get back on the road with confidence, knowing your vehicle’s electronic brain is restored.
From the Diagnostic Bay
I remember a 2015 Sierra 1500 that came into the shop with a textbook case of BCM failure. The owner was frustrated with intermittent power locks, a radio that would turn on and off by itself, and a recurring ‘Service StabiliTrak’ message. We scanned it and found a slew of communication codes (U-codes) pointing to the BCM. Instead of a costly new module and a full day of programming at the dealer, a cloned BCM like this one would have been the perfect fix. The owner could have simply swapped the modules in his own garage in under an hour, saving hundreds of dollars and a major headache.
Is Your Vehicle Showing These Symptoms?
- ✔ Erratic or non-functional interior and exterior lights.
- ✔ Power windows, door locks, or mirrors operating intermittently or not at all.
- ✔ The security system acting up, causing alarm or starting issues.
- ✔ Warning lights on the dashboard, such as for the airbag or traction control system.
- ✔ Diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) related to communication loss with the BCM (e.g., U0140).
- ✔ Complete no-start condition where the ignition seems dead.
A Straightforward Guide to Installation
- ✔ Safety First: Disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery to prevent any electrical shorts.
- ✔ Locate and Remove: Find your original BCM. Its location varies by model (e.g., under the steering column, behind the dash, or in a kick panel). Carefully disconnect the wiring harnesses and remove the module.
- ✔ Package and Ship: Securely package your original BCM and ship it to us. After your purchase, we will contact you with detailed shipping instructions.
- ✔ Install the Replacement: Once you receive the programmed module from us, simply mount it in the original location and reconnect the wiring harnesses.
- ✔ Reconnect and Test: Reconnect the negative battery terminal. Start the vehicle and test all body functions (lights, windows, locks, etc.) to confirm the repair.
- ✔ Perform Final Checks: As noted in our post-install procedures, a final sync or relearn for the airbag or brake pedal position sensor may be needed in some cases.
Important Post-Installation Information
While our cloning service makes this a nearly plug-and-play repair for your 2015 Corvette BCM, some vehicle systems may require a final handshake with the new module. Please be aware of the following potential procedures:
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is illuminated after installation, a professional scan tool is required to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure. This syncs the airbag system with the BCM.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: On certain models, the brake pedal position sensor may need to be recalibrated to ensure correct operation of the brake lights and traction control system.
Disclaimer: Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician for procedures specific to your vehicle.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does this cloning service work?
After you place your order, we will provide instructions for you to ship your original BCM to us. We then extract the vehicle-specific data and flash it onto a replacement module. We ship the fully programmed, ready-to-install module back to you.
Why is this better than buying a new BCM from a dealer?
Our service saves you significant money and hassle. You avoid the high cost of a new module and the separate, expensive programming fees charged by dealerships. Plus, you don’t need to have your car towed to the shop for installation and programming.
Do I need to send my keys?
No. Because we are cloning your original module’s data, all of your existing key information is transferred over. Your current keys will work immediately upon installation.
Is there a core charge?
No, there is absolutely no core charge. We use your original module for data transfer only, and you are welcome to keep it.
What tools do I need for the installation?
For most vehicles, only basic hand tools are needed to access and swap the module (e.g., a socket set or screwdriver). In rare cases where a post-install relearn is needed, a professional-grade scan tool would be required.
How long does the process take?
Once we receive your original BCM, our programming and testing process typically takes 1-2 business days. We then ship the replacement module back to you, and you will receive a tracking number at that time.
