Is Your Savana Van Plagued by Electrical Gremlins?
If you’re dealing with flickering lights, malfunctioning power windows, a temperamental security system, or other bizarre electrical issues in your 2008-2012 GMC Savana 2500, the root cause is often a failing Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM is the central command center for your van’s body electronics, and when it starts to fail, it can create a cascade of frustrating and unpredictable problems. Don’t let a faulty module keep your workhorse van off the road. This is your direct-fit, VIN-programmed solution.
Common Symptoms of a Failing BCM
- ✔ Erratic or non-functional power windows and door locks.
- ✔ Interior or exterior lights that won’t turn on or off correctly.
- ✔ Instrument cluster gauges behaving erratically or warning lights staying on.
- ✔ Vehicle security system malfunctions or prevents the engine from starting.
- ✔ Intermittent no-start conditions where the engine cranks but won’t fire.
- ✔ HVAC (heating and air conditioning) controls not responding.
- ✔ Radio or infotainment system issues.

Important Post-Installation Information
While this module is programmed for your van, certain vehicle systems may require a ‘handshake’ with the new BCM after installation. This is a normal part of the process. Please be aware of the following potential procedures:
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is illuminated 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: On some models, a brake pedal position sensor relearn may be required to ensure correct brake light operation and to satisfy the traction control system.
Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician for vehicle-specific guidance.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Body Control Module (BCM) do?
The BCM is a computer that manages and controls many of your vehicle’s non-engine related electronic functions, such as power windows, locks, lights, security system, wipers, and HVAC controls.
Do I need to get this module programmed by a dealer?
No. We handle the programming for you before we ship the part. Simply provide us with your vehicle’s VIN during or after checkout, and it will arrive ready to be installed with the latest GM software.
How do I find my original BCM to check the part number?
In most GMC Savana and Express vans, the BCM is located in the center dash area. You may need to remove some dash panels to access it and read the part number on the sticker.
What if my airbag light comes on after I install the new BCM?
This is a possibility and requires a professional scan tool to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure. This re-establishes communication between the airbag system and the new BCM.
Is there a core charge for this part?
No, there is no core charge. You can keep your original module without needing to send it back to us.
