Common Symptoms of a Failing BCM
- ✔ Erratic or non-functional power windows, mirrors, and door locks.
- ✔ Interior or exterior lights staying on or not turning on at all.
- ✔ The security system acting up, or the vehicle not starting due to a security fault.
- ✔ Dashboard warning lights flickering or illuminating incorrectly.
- ✔ Radio or infotainment system malfunctions.
- ✔ Inconsistent or non-working windshield wipers.
Installation and Post-Install Procedures for your Savana 2500 Body Control Module
Installation is straightforward for those with moderate mechanical skill. The BCM is typically located under the dashboard, often on the driver’s side. After swapping the hardware, some vehicles may require additional steps to ensure all systems communicate correctly.
Post-Installation Relearns:
- Airbag System Sync: If your airbag warning light is on after installation, a professional scan tool is needed to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure. This syncs the new BCM with the airbag system.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: On some models, a brake pedal position sensor 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 instructions.
