Restore Full Electrical Control to Your GM Vehicle
Are you experiencing a cascade of bizarre and frustrating electrical problems in your 2013-2014 Savana 1500 Van or other compatible GM vehicle? Issues like flickering lights, malfunctioning power windows, a dead instrument cluster, or a persistent security warning are often not isolated failures. They frequently point to a single root cause: a failing Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM acts as the central nervous system for your vehicle’s body electronics, and when it malfunctions, it can create chaos. This replacement BCM, part number 22915542, is the definitive solution to restore order and get your vehicle operating as it should.
Common Symptoms of a Failing BCM
- ✔ Intermittent or non-functional power windows, door locks, or mirrors.
- ✔ Erratic behavior from the instrument cluster, including gauges dropping to zero or warning lights illuminating for no reason.
- ✔ Interior or exterior lights that flicker, stay on, or won’t turn on at all.
- ✔ The security system acting up, displaying a “Service Theft Deterrent System” message or preventing the vehicle from starting.
- ✔ HVAC (heating and air conditioning) controls not responding correctly.
- ✔ Remote keyless entry failing to work.
- ✔ Communication errors with other vehicle modules when scanned with a diagnostic tool.
Why Choose Our Pre-Programmed 2013-2014 Savana BCM?
Replacing a BCM isn’t just a matter of swapping parts. A new module must be programmed specifically to your vehicle’s Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) to work with its unique set of options and security protocols. Our service eliminates the need for expensive dealership programming. Simply provide us with your VIN during checkout, and we will flash the module with the latest GM software updates for your specific vehicle. This ensures a seamless installation process, getting you back on the road faster. This module is a direct replacement for part numbers 22915542 and 22820314.
Installation and Post-Installation Requirements
While the physical installation of the 2013-2014 Savana BCM is straightforward for many, some vehicles may require additional calibration steps after the part is installed. These are known as relearn procedures and may require a professional-grade diagnostic tool.
- Airbag System Sync: If your airbag warning light is on after installation, a “Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM” procedure is necessary to sync the new BCM with the airbag system.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: On some models, a brake pedal position sensor recalibration might be needed to ensure correct brake light operation and to satisfy the traction control system.
Please note: Specific procedures can vary by vehicle. Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician for guidance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to get this BCM programmed by a dealer?
No. We handle all the programming for you before shipment. Simply provide your vehicle’s VIN when you place your order, and the module will arrive ready for installation, flashed with the latest GM software for your specific vehicle.
Where is the BCM located on my 2013 Savana Van?
On the GMC Savana and Chevrolet Express vans covered by this part, the BCM is typically located behind the center part of the dashboard, often near the radio or climate controls.
What tools are needed for the post-installation procedures?
Procedures like the Airbag System Sync and Brake Pedal Position Relearn require a bi-directional professional diagnostic scan tool. Basic code readers cannot perform these functions. Many local repair shops can perform these relearns for you if needed.
Is this a DIY-friendly installation?
For someone with moderate mechanical skill, the physical replacement of the BCM is manageable. However, due to the potential need for post-installation relearn procedures, we recommend being prepared to seek professional help if warning lights appear after installation.
What information do you need from me to program the module?
We only need your vehicle’s 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). You can typically find this on your driver’s side door jamb sticker, your insurance card, or on the dashboard visible through the windshield.
Will this fix my “Service Theft Deterrent System” message?
A faulty BCM is a very common cause of this message. Because our module is programmed to your VIN, it correctly syncs with your vehicle’s anti-theft system, resolving this issue in most cases.
