Are you tired of your vehicle’s baffling electrical problems?
Flickering lights, power windows with a mind of their own, a security system that randomly acts up, or strange warning messages on your dash are all classic signs of a failing Body Control Module (BCM). As the central command center for your vehicle’s body electronics, a faulty BCM can cause a cascade of frustrating and unpredictable issues, making your car feel unreliable. Don’t let these electrical gremlins disrupt your daily drive any longer.
Common Symptoms & Your Direct-Fit Solution
If you’re experiencing any of the following, a failing BCM is the likely cause:
- Power windows, door locks, or mirrors working intermittently or not at all.
- Interior dome lights, headlights, or taillights staying on or not turning on.
- The security system engaging randomly or a persistent “Service Theft Deterrent System” message.
- Erratic behavior from your dashboard gauges or instrument cluster.
- Communication error codes (U-codes) when scanned with a diagnostic tool.

Expert Insight: Why VIN-Specific Programming is Non-Negotiable
In modern vehicles, the BCM is like an air traffic controller for dozens of electronic systems. It doesn’t just turn things on and off; it communicates constantly with the Engine Control Module (ECM), Transmission Control Module (TCM), and even the airbag system. When we program this Programmed 22915542 Body Control Module to your VIN, we’re not just activating features. We are loading the precise operational software and communication protocols your specific vehicle requires to function as an integrated system. Installing a non-programmed module is a recipe for disasterโit can lead to a no-start condition, a flood of new error codes, and features that simply won’t work. Our pre-programming service ensures all systems communicate correctly from the moment of installation.
Post-Installation Procedures
While our programming handles the most complex part of the job, some vehicles may require one or two simple relearn procedures after installation to fully sync the new module. These can often be performed with a high-end bidirectional scan tool.
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is on after installation, a technician will need to perform the “Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM” procedure to sync the new BCM with the airbag system.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: On some models, a brake pedal position sensor recalibration may be needed to ensure proper brake light and traction control operation.
Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician for vehicle-specific instructions.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the programming process work?
It’s simple. After you place your order, you provide us with your vehicle’s 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). Our technicians use this VIN to download the exact, most up-to-date software from GM for your vehicle’s specific options and configuration. We then flash this software onto the module before shipping it to you.
Is this installation truly plug-and-play?
Our VIN programming makes it as close as possible. For most vehicles, the core functions will work immediately upon installation. However, as noted above, some systems like the airbag (SRS) or brake position sensor may require a final relearn procedure with a diagnostic tool to complete the synchronization process.
What if my airbag light comes on after I install it?
This is a normal security measure in GM vehicles. The new BCM needs to be electronically ‘introduced’ to the airbag control module (SDM). A qualified technician with a professional scan tool can perform the “Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM” procedure in a few minutes to turn off the light.
Do I need to send my old BCM back?
No. This product has no core charge. You can keep, recycle, or dispose of your original module at your convenience, which simplifies the process for you.
Where can I find my vehicle’s VIN?
Your VIN is a 17-digit number typically found on a metal plate on the driver’s side of the dashboard (visible through the windshield), on the driver’s side door jamb sticker, or on your vehicle’s registration and insurance documents.
Will this Programmed 22915542 Body Control Module fix my exact problem?
This module will correct any issue directly caused by a faulty BCM. While the symptoms we’ve listed are extremely common for BCM failure, we always recommend having a proper diagnosis performed by a qualified mechanic to confirm the BCM is the root cause before ordering.
