Common Signs of a Failing BCM

If your vehicle is showing these symptoms, a failing Body Control Module is a likely culprit. A bad BCM can cause a wide range of problems that may seem random at first. Confirming one or more of these issues is a strong indicator that you need a replacement.

• ✔ Power windows, door locks, or mirrors operate erratically or not at all.
• ✔ The security system light is illuminated, or the vehicle won’t start due to a false theft alert.
• ✔ Interior or exterior lights flicker, stay on, or fail to turn on.
• ✔ The horn honks unexpectedly or doesn’t work.
• ✔ Your key fob stops working reliably.
• ✔ Diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) related to communication errors, such as U0140, U0155, or other U-series codes, are present.

Your Straightforward BCM Installation Guide

For the confident DIYer or professional mechanic, installing this 2008-2012 Savana 2500 BCM is a manageable job. The BCM in these vans is typically located in the center dash area. Always consult a service manual for the exact location and torque specs.

1. Safety First: Disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery and wait at least 10 minutes to allow all systems to power down.
2. Access the Module: Carefully remove the necessary dash panels to gain access to the old BCM. This may involve removing trim pieces and screws around the center console or glove box area.
3. Disconnect and Remove: Unplug all electrical connectors from the old BCM. They have locking tabs, so be gentle. Once disconnected, unbolt the module from its mounting bracket and remove it from the vehicle.
4. Install the New BCM: Mount your new, pre-programmed BCM onto the bracket and securely fasten it. Reconnect all electrical connectors, ensuring each one clicks firmly into place.
5. Reassemble and Reconnect: Reinstall the dash panels you removed. Reconnect the negative battery terminal.
6. Post-Installation Checks: Start the vehicle and test all body functions—windows, locks, lights, radio, etc. As noted below, certain models may require a relearn procedure if a warning light (like the airbag light) appears.

Post-Installation Procedures & Important Notes

While this module is programmed for your VIN, some vehicle systems require a final handshake after installation. Please be aware of the following:

• Airbag System Sync: If the airbag (SRS) warning light is on after installation, a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure is needed. This requires a professional-grade scan tool and syncs the new BCM with the airbag system.
• Brake Pedal Position Relearn: On some models, a brake pedal position sensor relearn may be necessary to ensure correct brake light operation and to prevent issues with the traction control system.
• Core Return: We make it simple. Your original BCM will be returned to you along with your newly programmed replacement. We do not require you to send your old part back to us as a core charge.

Disclaimer: Vehicle systems vary. We strongly recommend consulting a factory service manual or a certified technician if you are unsure about any part of the installation or post-install procedures.
