Is Your GM Vehicle Plagued by Electrical Gremlins?
n
If your 2008-2012 Chevrolet Express 1500 Van or other compatible GM vehicle is experiencing bizarre electrical issues like flickering lights, malfunctioning power windows and locks, or random warning indicators on the dash, a failing Body Control Module (BCM) is the most likely culprit. The BCM acts as the central nervous system for your vehicle’s body electronics, and when it fails, it can cause a wide range of frustrating and unpredictable problems. This isn’t just an inconvenience; it can affect the safety and reliability of your vehicle.

We offer a straightforward, reliable solution. This is a direct-fit replacement Body Control Module, delivered to you pre-programmed to your vehicle’s specific VIN. We flash it with the latest GM software updates, ensuring optimal performance and compatibility right out of the box. This process eliminates the need for an expensive trip to the dealership for programming, saving you time and money.

From the Diagnostic Bay
n
We had a 2011 Savana work van come in that was driving the owner crazy. The dome lights would stay on, the radio would randomly shut off, and the power door locks had a mind of their own. The driver was worried the battery would be dead every morning. After checking the basics, we hooked up our scanner and saw multiple communication errors pointing straight to the BCM. We installed a VIN-programmed module just like this one, and it was like the van was new again. All the strange electrical issues vanished instantly. It’s a common failure, but thankfully, it’s a simple fix with the right part.

Installing Your Express 1500 Body Control Module
n
Installation is designed to be as simple as possible. Once you locate and swap your old module with this new one, most functions will be immediately restored. However, due to the complexity of modern vehicle systems, a couple of additional steps may be required depending on your specific model and its options.
n
- n
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is illuminated after installation, a simple ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure must be performed with a compatible high-level scan tool. This syncs the new BCM with the airbag system.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: Some models may require a brake pedal position sensor relearn to ensure the brake lights and traction control system function correctly.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a Body Control Module (BCM) do?
The BCM is a computer that manages and controls many of your vehicle’s non-engine related functions, such as power windows, locks, lights, wipers, security system, and interior accessories.
Is this BCM difficult to install?
For most DIY mechanics, the physical installation is straightforward. It typically involves locating the module (often under the dash), disconnecting the battery, and swapping the electrical connectors. The main benefit of our service is that the complex programming is already done for you.
How do I provide my VIN for programming?
After you complete your purchase, you will receive instructions on how to send us your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN. We cannot ship your part until we receive this information, as the programming is specific to your vehicle.
Will I need to do any programming myself?
No, the core programming is completed by our technicians before shipment. In some cases, minor relearn procedures, like for the brake pedal position sensor or airbag system, may be needed after installation, which can be done with a high-level diagnostic tool.
What does ‘No Core Charge’ mean?
It means you do not have to send your old, faulty BCM back to us. You can keep it or dispose of it yourself, saving you the hassle and expense of a core return.
