Tired of Your Traverse’s Electrical Gremlins?
Are you dealing with baffling electrical issues in your Chevrolet Traverse or other GM vehicle? Flickering lights, power windows with a mind of their own, door locks that won’t cooperate, or a security system that randomly acts up are all classic signs of a failing Body Control Module (BCM). These problems aren’t just an annoyance; they can compromise your vehicle’s safety and reliability. Instead of facing a costly and time-consuming trip to the dealership, take control with a solution designed for you.
Common Symptoms & Your Solution
A faulty BCM is the central nervous system for your vehicle’s electronics, and when it fails, chaos can ensue. If you’re experiencing any of the following, this module is the definitive fix:
- Interior or exterior lights not working correctly
- Power windows, locks, or mirrors behaving erratically
- Intermittent no-start conditions or security light on the dash
- HVAC (heating and air conditioning) controls not responding
- False warnings on your instrument cluster
This pre-programmed 2009-2012 Traverse Body Control Module arrives at your door ready for installation. We take your vehicle’s VIN and flash the unit with the latest GM software, ensuring it communicates perfectly with your specific car, truck, or SUV. This eliminates the need for expensive proprietary scan tools and programming procedures, putting the power of a simple, effective repair back in your hands.
An Expert’s Note: We recently helped a customer with a 2011 Acadia whose dome lights would stay on, draining the battery overnight. The dealership quoted them over a thousand dollars for a new BCM and programming. They were stressed about the cost and the inconvenience. We sent them this exact module, programmed to their VIN. They had their local mechanic install it in under an hour, completely solving the problem for a fraction of the price. That’s the peace of mind we deliverโa reliable fix that respects your time and your wallet.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Body Control Module (BCM)?
The BCM is a computer in your vehicle that controls and monitors most of the non-engine-related electronic functions. This includes power windows, door locks, interior and exterior lighting, security systems, wipers, and more. When it fails, you experience the strange electrical issues this part is designed to fix.
Do I need to program this BCM?
No. The main benefit of our service is that we program the module for you before we ship it. Simply provide us with your vehicle’s VIN during or after checkout, and it will arrive ready for installation.
Where do I provide my VIN?
After you complete your purchase, you will need to send us your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). We cannot ship your part until we have this information to program the module correctly.
What happens if my airbag light comes on after installation?
This can happen on some models. It means the new BCM needs to be electronically introduced to the airbag system’s computer (SDM). A qualified technician with a professional-grade scan tool can perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure to sync the modules and turn off the light.
Is this a difficult part to install?
For someone with moderate mechanical experience, the installation is typically straightforward. The BCM is usually located under the dashboard on the driver’s side. However, if you are not comfortable working around vehicle wiring and trim panels, we recommend professional installation. This 2009-2012 Traverse Body Control Module is designed for a direct-fit replacement.
How do I know for sure that my BCM is the problem?
While the symptoms listed are strong indicators of BCM failure, a proper diagnosis from a qualified technician is always the best way to be certain. A professional scan tool can check for communication errors and diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) pointing specifically to the BCM.
