Restore Full Electrical Control to Your Workhorse Van

Flickering lights, unresponsive power windows and locks, or an instrument cluster that seems to have a mind of its own are all classic signs of a failing Body Control Module (BCM).

Expert Insight: The Real Cost of a Bad BCM
“We had a local contractor whose 2011 Savana was becoming a nightmare. The dome lights would stay on, draining the battery overnight, and the power locks were unreliableโa security risk on a van full of tools. The dealership quoted him over a thousand dollars and said they’d need the van for two days. We sent him this pre-programmed BCM. He swapped it himself in under an hour during his lunch break. The van was back in service that afternoon, fully functional, for a fraction of the cost. That’s not just a repair; it’s preventing lost income.”
Frequently Asked Questions
What information do you need from me to program the BCM?
After you complete your purchase, we will need the 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) from your 2008-2012 GMC Savana 2500. This ensures we can flash the module with the exact software and configuration for your van’s specific options.
Is this BCM difficult to install?
For most GM vans like the Savana and Express, the BCM is located in the center dash area. Installation is straightforward for anyone with basic mechanical skills and tools. It typically involves removing a few dash panels, unplugging the electrical connectors from the old module, swapping it with the new one, and reconnecting everything. We always recommend disconnecting the battery before starting work.
Will any other procedures be needed after installation?
In many cases, the installation is plug-and-play. However, depending on your vehicle’s specific configuration, a couple of simple relearn procedures may be necessary. If the airbag light is on, a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key’ procedure is needed. A ‘Brake Pedal Position Relearn’ might also be required. These procedures can be performed by a shop with a professional-grade scan tool.
How do I know for sure that my BCM is the problem?
While the symptoms listed above are strong indicators, the only way to be 100% certain is with a proper diagnosis using a high-level scan tool that can check for communication codes (U-codes) and test BCM functionality directly. However, if you’re experiencing multiple, unrelated electrical issues, the BCM is the most likely culprit.
Does this part fit other GM vehicles?
Yes, this BCM is used across a very wide range of GM vehicles, including the Express van, Tahoe, Acadia, Impala, and more. Please review the detailed fitment list on this page and match your original part number to ensure compatibility with your specific make, model, and year.
