Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly does a Body Control Module do?
The BCM is a computer in your vehicle that controls and monitors a wide range of electronic accessories not related to the engine. This includes power windows, door locks, the security system, interior and exterior lighting, wipers, and the HVAC climate control system.
Why is VIN programming so important for this part?
VIN programming loads your vehicle’s specific software and settings onto the module. Without it, the BCM won’t be able to communicate correctly with other computers in your van, leading to system malfunctions or the part not working at all. Our pre-programming saves you from needing expensive dealer tools.
Is this difficult to install myself?
For most individuals with basic tools, installation is straightforward. The BCM is typically located in the center dash area on a Savana van. The process involves disconnecting the battery and swapping the electrical connectors from the old module to the new one. It can often be completed in under 15 minutes.
What if my airbag light is on after installation?
In some cases, the new BCM needs to be synced with the airbag system’s computer (SDM). If the airbag light stays on, a procedure called ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ will need to be performed by a technician with a professional-grade scan tool.
Does this module fit other GM vehicles?
Yes, this Savana 2500 Body Control Module 15116066 is also a direct fit for a wide range of GM trucks, vans, and SUVs from the same era, including the Silverado, Sierra, Tahoe, Yukon, and Express. Please verify the part number and your vehicle’s options to ensure compatibility.
