Expert Insight: The Importance of a Programmed BCM
From over 20 years of hands-on diagnostics, I can tell you that a BCM isn’t just a simple componentโit’s the traffic controller for dozens of electronic systems. Each vehicle has unique settings for its options, from the type of radio it has to whether it includes a sunroof. A generic, non-programmed module from a salvage yard simply won’t work correctly. It won’t know how to communicate with the other modules in your specific vehicle. By programming this programmed 2009-2012 Traverse Body Control Module to your VIN, we ensure it speaks the correct ‘language’ right out of the box, just like the original part from the factory.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I provide my VIN number?
After you complete your purchase, you will need to send us your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). We cannot program and ship the module without it. This ensures the BCM is a perfect match for your vehicle’s specific configuration.
Is this a difficult part to install?
On the 2009-2012 Traverse, the BCM is typically located on the left-hand (driver’s) side of the dash. Installation is a matter of disconnecting the battery, removing a few trim panels, and swapping the electrical connectors. It is a manageable job for a confident DIYer, but we always recommend consulting a service manual or a professional technician if you are unsure.
Will I need to do anything after installation?
In some cases, post-installation procedures may be necessary. For example, if the airbag light is on, a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key’ procedure is required. A ‘Brake Pedal Position Relearn’ may also be needed. These procedures require a professional-grade scan tool and are often performed by your local repair shop.
What exactly does the Body Control Module do?
The BCM is a computer that manages most of your vehicle’s non-engine related functions. This includes the power windows, door locks, interior and exterior lighting, alarm system, wipers, and communication between various electronic systems. It’s essential for the comfort, convenience, and security features of your Traverse.
Is this programmed 2009-2012 Traverse Body Control Module compatible with other vehicles?
Yes, this BCM is compatible with a very wide range of GM vehicles, including many model years of the Acadia, Enclave, Equinox, Impala, Tahoe, Yukon, and Express vans, among others. The key is to match your original part number to the extensive list we provide.
