Frequently Asked Questions
What does a Body Control Module do on a GMC Savana?
The BCM acts as the central computer for your van’s body electronics. It manages non-engine related functions like the interior and exterior lights, power windows and locks, wipers, security system, and the HVAC climate control system.
Is this BCM truly plug-and-play?
Yes. Because we program the module to your vehicle’s VIN before shipping, it is ready for installation upon arrival. In most cases, no further programming is required. However, for some vehicles, a simple ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure may be needed with a scan tool if the airbag light is on after install.
Do I need to send my old BCM back?
No. There is no core charge for this part. You can keep your original module without any extra fees or hassle, simplifying the repair process for you.
What tools are needed for installation?
Installation typically requires only basic hand tools, such as a socket set or screwdriver, to access the module located in the center dash area. The most important first step is to disconnect the vehicle’s battery before you begin.
Will this fix my airbag light with code B1001?
A faulty BCM is a very common cause of an airbag light with DTC B1001. Replacing it often resolves the issue. If the light remains on after installation, the airbag system (SDM) may need to be synced with the new BCM using a professional diagnostic tool, a procedure known as ‘Setup SDM Primary Key’.
How do I provide my VIN for programming?
You can enter your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN during the checkout process. Please double-check it for accuracy, as this is crucial for ensuring the module is programmed correctly for your specific Savana van.
