Is your 2009-2012 Chevrolet Traverse suffering from bizarre electrical problems? Intermittent power windows, flickering lights, or a security system that has a mind of its own are common signs of a failing Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM acts as the central command center for your vehicle’s body electronics, and when it fails, it can cause a wide range of frustrating and seemingly unrelated issues. This replacement BCM, part number 20864767, is the definitive solution to restore full functionality and reliability to your vehicle.
Solving Issues with the 2009-2012 Traverse BCM
A faulty BCM doesn’t just cause minor annoyances; it can impact your vehicle’s safety and security. By replacing your old unit with this pre-programmed module, you are directly addressing the root cause of these electrical failures. We take the hassle out of the repair by programming the module with the latest GM software updates using your vehicle’s specific VIN. This ensures perfect compatibility and function right out of the box, eliminating the need for expensive dealership programming tools and labor costs.
Common Symptoms of a Failing BCM:
- ✔ Power windows, door locks, or mirrors operating erratically or not at all.
- ✔ Interior or exterior lights flickering, staying on, or not turning on.
- ✔ Instrument cluster gauges behaving unpredictably.
- ✔ The security system engaging randomly or displaying a “Service Theft System” message.
- ✔ Keyless entry remote failing to work consistently.
- ✔ Unexplained battery drain when the vehicle is off.
- ✔ In severe cases, a no-start condition where the vehicle will not crank.
Important Installation Notes: While this module is designed for plug-and-play installation, some vehicles may require additional steps. If your airbag warning light illuminates after installation, a professional scan tool is needed to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure. Additionally, a ‘Brake Pedal Position Relearn’ may be necessary on certain models to ensure proper brake light and traction control operation. Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician for guidance.

Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly does the Body Control Module do?
The BCM is a computer that manages and controls your vehicle’s non-engine related electronic functions. This includes power windows, locks, interior and exterior lighting, security system, wipers, and more.
Is this part ready to install when I receive it?
Yes. We program the module to your vehicle’s specific VIN before it ships, so it’s ready for a plug-and-play installation. This service saves you a trip to the dealership for programming.
How do I give you my vehicle’s VIN?
After you place your order, you will need to provide us with your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number. We will send instructions on how to do this. We must have your VIN to program and ship your part.
What if the airbag light is on after I install the BCM?
In some cases, the new BCM needs to be electronically synced with the airbag system. This requires a professional scan tool to perform a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure to turn off the light.
Do I have to send my old BCM back?
No, there is no core charge for this item. You can keep your original module.
