Frequently Asked Questions
What is a BCM and what does it do?
The Body Control Module (BCM) is a central computer in your Savana that controls and monitors a wide variety of non-engine-related functions. This includes power windows, door locks, interior and exterior lighting, security systems, wipers, and more. When it fails, it can cause unpredictable and frustrating electrical problems.
Is this module truly plug-and-play?
Yes, for most vehicles. Because we program it to your specific VIN before shipping, it is designed to integrate with your existing systems. In some cases, as noted in our post-install procedures, a minor relearn procedure like for the airbag system or brake pedal position sensor may be required using a professional scan tool.
How do I provide my VIN?
After you complete your purchase, you will need to send us your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). We cannot ship your order until we receive this information, as the programming is essential for the part to function correctly in your vehicle.
What happens if my airbag light comes on after installation?
If the airbag (SRS) light is on, it means the new BCM needs to be synced with the vehicle’s airbag system. A technician will need to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure with a compatible high-level scan tool. This is a standard security sync required on many modern vehicles.
Does this part fit other vehicles besides the Savana 2500?
Yes, this 2008-2012 Savana 2500 Body Control Module is also a direct replacement for a wide variety of other GM vehicles, including the Express Van, Acadia, Traverse, Impala, Tahoe, and more. Please check the extensive compatibility list on this page to confirm fitment for other models.
