Restore Full Control Over Your Vehicle’s Electronics
Are you battling frustrating electrical gremlins in your Chevrolet Traverse or other GM vehicle? Flickering lights, malfunctioning power windows, a security system that acts on its own, or random warning lights on the dash are all classic signs of a failing Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM is the central command center for your vehicle’s body electronics, and when it fails, it can cause a cascade of confusing and unpredictable problems. If you’re facing these issues, a failing 2009-2012 Traverse BCM is the likely culprit.
This replacement Body Control Module is your direct-fit, reliable solution. We take the guesswork and high dealership costs out of the equation by pre-programming the module to your vehicle’s specific VIN before it ships. This ensures seamless integration with your vehicle’s existing systems. Simply provide us with your VIN after purchase, and we’ll handle the complex programming, loading the latest GM software updates for optimal performance and reliability.
Common Symptoms of a Failing BCM
- ✔ Intermittent or non-working power windows, door locks, and mirrors.
- ✔ Erratic behavior from dashboard gauges or interior lights.
- ✔ Vehicle security system faults or anti-theft light staying on, preventing the car from starting.
- ✔ Unexplained battery drain that kills your battery overnight.
- ✔ Climate control system not responding to commands.
- ✔ Horn, wipers, or turn signals working sporadically or not at all.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this BCM truly plug-and-play?
Yes, we program it to your VIN before shipping for a plug-and-play installation. However, some vehicles may require a simple relearn procedure for systems like the airbag or brake pedal sensor, which can be done with a capable scan tool.
Do I need to send my old BCM back?
No, there is no core charge for this part. You can keep your original module.
How do I provide my VIN?
After placing your order, please send us a message with your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). We cannot program and ship the part until we receive this information.
What happens if the airbag light comes on after installation?
This is a common security measure. A ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure will need to be performed with a professional scan tool to sync the new BCM with the airbag system and turn off the light.
Will this fix my specific electrical problem?
This module corrects issues directly caused by a faulty BCM. While it resolves the most common electrical faults, proper vehicle diagnosis is always recommended to rule out other potential issues like bad wiring, grounds, or sensors.
