Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Body Control Module (BCM) do in my Savana?
The BCM is a computer that manages and controls many of your van’s non-engine related electronic functions. This includes power windows, door locks, the security system, interior and exterior lighting, wipers, and the HVAC (heating and air conditioning) system.
Do I need to have this module programmed by a dealer?
No. We handle the programming for you before shipment. Simply provide your vehicle’s VIN during checkout, and the module will arrive ready for a plug-and-play installation, saving you a trip to the dealership.
How difficult is the installation?
Installation is straightforward for someone with basic mechanical skills. The BCM is typically located in the center dash area on the Savana vans. The process involves disconnecting the battery, removing a few trim panels, and swapping the electrical connectors to the new module. It can often be completed in under 30 minutes.
What if the airbag light stays on after installation?
In some cases, if the airbag light is on, a procedure called ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ may need to be performed with a professional scan tool. This re-syncs the new BCM with the airbag system. This is only necessary if the light appears after the new module is installed.
Is this compatible with other GM trucks and vans?
Yes, this BCM is interchangeable with multiple part numbers and fits a wide range of GM trucks, vans, and SUVs from the 2002-2007 era, including the Silverado, Sierra, Tahoe, and Express. Please verify the part number or use our vehicle fitment tool to ensure compatibility.
What does ‘no core charge’ mean?
It means you do not have to return your old, faulty BCM to us. This simplifies the process for you, as there are no additional charges or return shipments to worry about. You can simply dispose of your old part.
