Restore Full Electrical Function to Your GM Vehicle
Are you battling bizarre electrical gremlins in your 2008-2012 GMC Savana 1500 Van? From flickering lights and malfunctioning power windows to a vehicle that refuses to start, a failing Body Control Module (BCM) is often the culprit. The BCM acts as the central nervous system for your vehicle’s electronic accessories. When it fails, it can cause a wide range of frustrating and difficult-to-diagnose issues. This replacement module is your reliable, straightforward solution to restore your vehicle’s performance and get you back on the road with confidence.
Common Symptoms of a Failing BCM
- ✔ Erratic or non-functional interior and exterior lights.
- ✔ Power windows, door locks, or security system operating incorrectly.
- ✔ Intermittent no-start or no-crank conditions.
- ✔ Warning lights appearing on the dashboard for no apparent reason (e.g., ABS, Airbag, Traction Control).
- ✔ Radio or climate control systems malfunctioning.
- ✔ Rapid battery drain while the vehicle is off.

Post-Installation Requirements
While this module is pre-programmed, some GM vehicles require a security or system synchronization procedure after installation. These are standard steps that a qualified technician can perform with a professional scan tool.
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag light is on after installation, a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure is needed to sync the systems.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: This recalibration may be necessary to ensure correct brake light and traction control operation.
Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician for vehicle-specific procedures.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Body Control Module do on my Savana Van?
The BCM is a computer that manages and controls many of your van’s non-engine related electronic systems. This includes power windows, door locks, the security system, interior and exterior lighting, and the instrument cluster display.
Do I need to program this replacement BCM?
No. We program the module to your vehicle’s VIN before we ship it to you. It arrives ready to be installed, saving you a trip to the dealership.
Where is the BCM located on a 2008-2012 Savana 1500?
On the GMC Savana and Chevrolet Express vans from this era, the Body Control Module is typically located in the center dash area, often accessible by removing panels around the radio or climate controls.
Is this a plug-and-play installation?
It is physically plug-and-play, meaning the connectors will match. However, as noted, some vehicles may require additional relearn or synchronization procedures (like for the airbag or brake pedal sensor) with a scan tool to complete the installation and ensure all systems work correctly.
What information do you need from me?
After you complete your purchase, you will need to provide us with your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). This is essential for us to program the module correctly for your specific vehicle’s options and software.
