Are you battling frustrating and unpredictable electrical problems in your GMC Savana van? Flickering lights, malfunctioning power windows, a security system that acts up, or even a no-start condition can bring your workday to a grinding halt.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a BCM and what does it do?
The Body Control Module (BCM) is a computer in your vehicle that controls and monitors a wide variety of electronic accessories not related to the engine. This includes power windows, power mirrors, air conditioning, interior and exterior lighting, security systems, and door locks.
Is this part difficult to install?
The physical replacement of the BCM is typically straightforward for someone with moderate mechanical skill. Since our module comes pre-programmed to your VIN, you eliminate the most difficult step, which is the software configuration. However, some vehicles may require a simple relearn procedure for certain systems (like the brake pedal position sensor) after installation, which may require a professional scan tool.
How do I provide my VIN for programming?
After you complete your purchase, you will need to send us your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN (Vehicle Identification Number). We cannot ship your order until we receive this information, as the programming is specific to your exact vehicle.
Will this fix my specific electrical problem?
This 2008-2012 Savana 1500 BCM is the correct solution for issues directly caused by a failing module. While it solves the most common electrical problems, we always recommend a proper diagnosis by a qualified technician to confirm the BCM is the source of the fault before ordering.
Do I need to do anything after installation?
In most cases, the module will work immediately. However, as noted in our policies, some vehicles may require additional procedures. For example, if your airbag light is on, a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure is needed. A brake pedal position relearn may also be necessary. These procedures require a professional-grade diagnostic tool.
Does this part fit other vehicles besides the Savana?
Yes, this BCM is compatible with a wide range of GM vehicles, including the Express Van, Acadia, Traverse, Tahoe, Impala, and more. Please refer to the detailed fitment list on this page to confirm it is the correct part for your specific make, model, and year.
