Restore Full Functionality to Your GM Vehicle
Are you battling frustrating electrical issues in your Chevrolet Traverse or other GM vehicle? Flickering lights, unresponsive power windows and locks, a security system that acts up, or even a vehicle that refuses to start can all point to a failing Body Control Module (BCM). This vital component is the central nervous system for your vehicle’s body electronics, and when it fails, it can cause a cascade of confusing problems. Stop chasing symptoms and get the definitive solution with this professionally programmed BCM, designed to get your family’s SUV back on the road with the reliability you depend on.
Common Symptoms & Your Solution
If you’re experiencing any of the following, a faulty BCM is the likely culprit:
- Power windows, door locks, or mirrors working intermittently or not at all.
- Interior or exterior lights behaving erratically (staying on, not turning on, or flickering).
- The security system preventing the vehicle from starting (anti-theft light flashing).
- Erroneous warning lights on the instrument cluster.
- Communication error codes (U-codes) stored in the system.
This isn’t just a replacement part; it’s a complete, ready-to-install solution. We take a genuine GM module and flash it with the latest official software, specifically matched to your vehicle’s unique Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). This critical programming step ensures that the new BCM communicates perfectly with all other modules in your vehicle, restoring all functions as the factory intended.

An Expert’s Note on BCM Replacement
As a technician with over two decades of experience, I’ve seen countless vehicle owners try to save a few dollars by installing a used BCM from a salvage yard. This almost never works. A BCM is not a simple swap-out part; it’s coded with the specific options, security information, and VIN of its original vehicle. Installing a used, un-programmed module will, at best, not work correctly and, at worst, completely immobilize your vehicle. Our service of providing a Programmed 2009-2012 Traverse Body Control Module eliminates this risk entirely, giving you a part that is truly plug-and-play and tailored specifically for your SUV.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a BCM and what does it do?
The Body Control Module (BCM) is a computer in your vehicle that controls and monitors a wide variety of non-engine-related functions. This includes power windows, door locks, interior and exterior lighting, the security system, wipers, and more. It acts as the central hub for these electronic accessories.
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 cannot ship your order until we receive this information, as it is essential for programming the module correctly for your specific vehicle.
Is this part difficult to install?
For someone with moderate mechanical experience, the physical installation is straightforward. The BCM is typically located under the dashboard on the driver’s side. The main challenge is programming, which we have already done for you. However, some vehicles may require a simple relearn procedure for the brake pedal position sensor or airbag system after installation, which may require a capable scan tool.
What if my airbag light comes on after installation?
In some cases, the new BCM needs to be synced with the vehicle’s airbag system (SDM). If the airbag light is on after installation, a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure needs to be performed with a professional-grade diagnostic tool. This is a standard post-installation step for certain models.
Will this fix my specific problem?
This Programmed 2009-2012 Traverse Body Control Module is the correct solution for failures of the BCM itself. While the symptoms listed are very common for BCM failure, we always recommend a proper diagnosis by a qualified mechanic to confirm the BCM is the root cause before purchasing.
Do I need to return my old BCM?
No. This product comes with no core charge. You are free to keep or dispose of your original module as you see fit.
