Restore Your Van’s Electrical System and Get Back to Work
Are you battling frustrating electrical issues in your GMC Savana? Flickering lights, malfunctioning power windows, a temperamental security system, or even a vehicle that won’t start can bring your workday to a grinding halt. These are classic signs of a failing Body Control Module (BCM). This pre-programmed BCM is the definitive, reliable solution to restore your van’s critical functions and get you back on the road with confidence.
Common Symptoms & Your Solution
A faulty BCM can cause a wide range of confusing problems. If you’re experiencing any of the following, this module is the likely fix:
- Interior or exterior lights not working correctly (staying on or not turning on)
- Power windows, locks, or mirrors operating erratically or not at all
- Erroneous warning lights on the instrument cluster (e.g., security or airbag lights)
- Problems with the radio or climate control systems
- Remote keyless entry failure
- Engine starting issues or stalling related to the anti-theft system

Expert Insight: The Critical Role of VIN Programming
Why is VIN-specific programming so important? Your Savana’s BCM is the central command for dozens of electronic features, from the power locks to the instrument cluster. Each vehicle has a unique configuration based on its factory options. By programming this module to your exact VIN, we ensure it knows precisely which options your van has, preventing compatibility errors, feature malfunctions, and persistent warning lights that plague generic or improperly programmed units. This crucial step is the difference between a quick, successful repair and a frustrating, ongoing problem.
Installation & Post-Install Procedures
While this BCM is designed for a straightforward installation, some vehicles may require a simple relearn procedure after the new module is connected. Please be aware of the following possibilities:
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is on after installation, a professional scan tool is needed to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure. This syncs the new BCM with the airbag system.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: In some cases, a brake pedal position sensor recalibration may be necessary to ensure proper brake light and traction control functionality.
We always recommend consulting a factory service manual or a qualified technician if you are unsure about any part of the installation process.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I provide my VIN for programming?
After you complete your purchase, you will need to send us your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). We will then program the Body Control Module specifically for your van before we ship it out.
Is this a difficult part to install myself?
For someone with moderate mechanical experience, the physical installation is typically straightforward. The BCM is usually located under the dash. However, as noted, some vehicles may require post-installation sync procedures with a professional scan tool. We always recommend consulting a service manual for your specific vehicle.
Will this fix my specific electrical problem?
The BCM is responsible for a vast array of electrical functions, and the symptoms listed are very common indicators of its failure. While this part resolves the majority of these issues, we always recommend proper vehicle diagnostics to confirm the BCM is the root cause of your problem before ordering.
Do I need to return my old BCM?
No. We do not require you to return your original module. There is no core charge associated with this purchase, which simplifies the process for you.
What if the airbag light comes on after I install it?
This is a known possibility. It means the new BCM needs to be electronically introduced to the vehicle’s airbag module (SDM). A qualified technician with a high-level diagnostic tool can perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure in a few minutes to resolve this.
