Restore Full Functionality to Your GM Vehicle
Are you battling frustrating and unpredictable electrical problems in your GMC Acadia, Chevy Traverse, or Buick Enclave? Issues like flickering lights, unresponsive power windows and locks, or a security system that has a mind of its own are classic signs of a failing Body Control Module (BCM). This vital component acts as the central hub for your vehicle’s body electronics, and when it falters, it can make your vehicle feel unreliable and unsafe. Get back on the road with confidence by replacing it with this direct-fit, professionally programmed BCM.

Expert Insight: The BCM as Your Vehicle’s ‘Nervous System’
Think of the Body Control Module as the central nervous system for all non-engine related electronics. It doesn’t manage your engine, but it coordinates almost everything else you interact with from the driver’s seat—from the chime that reminds you to put on your seatbelt to the complex logic that controls your exterior lighting. When it fails, signals get crossed, leading to the bizarre symptoms you’re seeing. Purchasing a blank BCM from a dealer requires a tow to their facility and several hours of labor for programming. Our pre-programmed solution for your programmed 2013-2017 GMC Acadia BCM saves you that time, hassle, and significant expense, delivering a ready-to-install part directly to you.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to program this BCM?
No. We handle all the programming for you before shipment. Simply provide us with your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN during or after checkout, and we will flash the module with the correct software and vehicle-specific information.
What exactly does a Body Control Module do?
The BCM is a computer that manages and controls the vehicle’s body electronics. This includes power windows, power mirrors, door locks, interior and exterior lighting, the alarm system, and various other comfort and convenience features.
Why is my airbag light on after installing the new BCM?
In some cases, the new BCM needs to be synced with the vehicle’s existing airbag system computer (SDM). If the airbag light is on after installation, a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure must be performed with a professional scan tool to resolve it.
Is this a difficult part to install?
The physical installation is typically straightforward, as the BCM is often located under the driver’s side dashboard. While our programming makes it a ‘plug and play’ process, some vehicles may require a simple ‘Brake Pedal Position Relearn’ or the airbag sync procedure mentioned above. We always recommend consulting a service manual or a qualified technician if you are unsure.
What information do you need from me?
To ensure perfect compatibility, we require your vehicle’s complete 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). This allows us to program the BCM with the exact software and options your vehicle was built with.
Will this fit vehicles other than the GMC Acadia?
Yes. This BCM, part number 22820314, is a direct replacement for many GM vehicles, including the 2013-2017 Buick Enclave and Chevy Traverse, 2013-2018 Express and Savana vans, and certain years of the Cadillac CTS and Chevy Impala.
