Frequently Asked Questions
What does a Body Control Module do on my Savana van?
The BCM acts as the central computer for your van’s body electronics. It controls non-engine related functions like power windows, door locks, interior and exterior lighting, the security system, and the instrument cluster gauges.
How do I know if my BCM is failing?
Common signs include erratic or non-working lights, power locks or windows operating on their own, security system faults, dashboard warning lights, and even a no-start condition where the engine cranks but won’t fire up. A proper diagnosis with a scan tool is always recommended.
What happens after I place my order?
After you purchase, you will need to provide us with your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN. We use this to program the BCM with the correct software and vehicle-specific options before we ship it to you.
Will I need to perform any procedures after installation?
In some cases, yes. Depending on your vehicle’s specific configuration, you may need a professional scan tool to perform a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ if the airbag light is on, or a ‘Brake Pedal Position Relearn’. These are standard procedures for ensuring all systems are properly synced.
Is this module difficult to install?
For someone with moderate mechanical experience, the physical installation is straightforward. The BCM is typically located in the center dash area on Savana vans. The most important part is ensuring the battery is disconnected before starting. The pre-programming we perform saves you the most complex step.
What part numbers does this 2008-2012 Savana 2500 Body Control Module replace?
This module is a direct replacement for a wide range of part numbers, including 20935349, 15828601, 25892622, 22860591, and many others listed in the full fitment details.
