Programmed GM Body Control Module 15828601 | VIN Flashed for Your Vehicle

Are you chasing down frustrating electrical gremlins in your GM vehicle? Flickering dash lights, power windows with a mind of their own, or a security system that randomly prevents your car from starting 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 widespread and unpredictable issues. This isn’t just an annoyance—it’s a problem that can leave you stranded. Stop throwing parts at the problem and get the definitive solution.

This GM Body Control Module is your direct-fit, hassle-free answer. The biggest hurdle in replacing a BCM is the expensive and time-consuming programming required at a dealership. We eliminate that step entirely. Simply provide us with your vehicle’s VIN during checkout, and our technicians will program the module with the latest GM software specifically for your car, truck, or SUV. It arrives at your door ready for installation, saving you hundreds in dealer fees and getting you back on the road faster.

Common Signs of a Failing BCM

✔ Intermittent or non-working power windows, door locks, or interior lights.
✔ The security or anti-theft system light stays on, preventing the engine from starting.
✔ Dashboard gauges behaving erratically or not working at all.
✔ Horn honking unexpectedly or not working when pressed.
✔ Diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) related to communication errors, such as U0140, U0155, or other U-codes.
✔ The radio or climate control system functions intermittently.

From the Diagnostic Bay: The Impala That Wouldn’t Behave

I remember a 2007 Impala that came into the shop with a laundry list of the strangest symptoms I’d seen in a while. The owner said one day the radio would turn off, the next the wipers wouldn’t stop, and some mornings the car wouldn’t start at all. He’d already replaced the battery and checked the alternator. After hooking up the scan tool, I saw a dozen communication codes pointing to the GM Body Control Module. The internal circuitry was failing, sending corrupt data across the network. We ordered one of these VIN-programmed modules, and the installation took less than an hour. All the bizarre electrical issues vanished instantly. The customer saved a tow to the dealer and a hefty programming bill.

Your Straightforward BCM Installation Guide

✔ Safety First: Always disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery and wait a few minutes before starting work.
✔ Locate the BCM: On most of these GM models, the BCM is located under the driver’s side or passenger’s side of the dashboard, or behind the center dash console. A quick search for your specific model will confirm its location.
✔ Remove the Old Module: Carefully unplug the electrical connectors. They have locking tabs that need to be depressed. Once unplugged, unbolt or unclip the old module from its mounting bracket.
✔ Install the New Module: Mount your new, pre-programmed BCM in place of the old one. Securely reconnect all electrical connectors, ensuring they click into place.
✔ Reconnect and Test: Reconnect the negative battery terminal. Turn the key to the ‘On’ position and test all body functions—windows, locks, lights, radio, etc.—to confirm the repair.

Important Post-Installation Steps

While this module is programmed to your VIN, some vehicle systems may require a ‘handshake’ with the new BCM. Please note the following:

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 airbag system with the new BCM.
Brake Pedal Position Relearn: On some models, a brake pedal position sensor relearn may be required to ensure correct brake light and traction control operation.

Disclaimer: Procedures can vary. We always recommend consulting a factory service manual or a qualified professional for your specific vehicle.
