End Frustrating Electrical Gremlins for Good
Are strange electrical issues making your Chevrolet Express 3500 or other GM vehicle unreliable? Flickering lights, malfunctioning power windows, a security system that acts up, or even a vehicle that refuses to start can all point to a failing Body Control Module (BCM). As the central command center for your vehicle’s body electronics, a faulty BCM can cause a cascade of confusing and costly problems. Stop chasing symptoms and replace the core component with a solution designed to get you back on the road quickly and confidently.
Common Symptoms & Your Solution
If you’re experiencing any of the following, a failing BCM is the likely culprit:

Expert Insight: The BCM Programming Difference
A common mistake is installing a used BCM without proper programming. This almost never works, as the module is still coded to the donor vehicle’s VIN and options. This can lead to even more electrical chaos and a vehicle that won’t start. Our pre-programming service is the critical step that makes this a true, effective repair. We take the guesswork out of the equation, delivering a component that communicates perfectly with your vehicle’s existing systems from the moment you plug it in.
Simple Installation & Required Procedures
Installation is a straightforward process. Once you provide us with your VIN upon purchase, we program the module and ship it to you. While the unit is designed to be plug-and-play, some vehicles may require one or two simple relearn procedures after the new 2008-2012 Express 3500 Body Control Module is installed. Please be aware of the following potential requirements:
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is on after installation, a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure must be performed with a professional scan tool to sync the systems.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: A recalibration of the brake pedal position sensor may be necessary on some models to ensure correct brake light and traction control operation.
Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician for specific guidance related to your vehicle.
Extensive GM Compatibility
This BCM, part number 95151084, replaces a wide array of original part numbers, making it a versatile solution for many GM vehicles. While it is a perfect fit for the 2008-2012 Express 3500 Body Control Module, it also fits models like the Impala, Acadia, Traverse, Tahoe, Yukon, Escalade, Savana, and more. Please verify that one of the part numbers listed in the specifications matches your original module to ensure perfect compatibility.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I need to provide my VIN?
Your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) is essential for us to program the Body Control Module correctly. The BCM needs to be coded with your vehicle’s specific options, security information, and software. This ensures it communicates perfectly with your other onboard computers, just like the original part from the factory.
Is this a true plug-and-play part?
It is as close as it gets. Because we pre-program it to your VIN, it eliminates the most difficult step. However, as noted in the description, some vehicles may require minor post-installation relearn procedures, such as for the airbag system or brake pedal sensor, which may require a professional scan tool.
What happens if my airbag light comes on after installation?
This is a known possibility. It means the new BCM needs to be electronically ‘introduced’ to your vehicle’s airbag computer (SDM). A mechanic with a professional-grade diagnostic tool will need to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure to sync the two modules and turn off the light.
Do I need to send my old BCM back?
No. This product has no core charge. You can keep, discard, or recycle your original module at your convenience without any extra fees or deductions.
How do I know for sure that my BCM is failing?
While the symptoms listed above are strong indicators, a definitive diagnosis often requires a professional scan tool that can check for communication errors with the BCM (U-codes). Common signs are multiple, unrelated electrical issues occurring simultaneously.
Does this part come with a warranty?
Yes, this unit is backed by our one-year replacement warranty, giving you confidence and protection in your purchase.
