Is your Chevy Express or GMC Savana suffering from bizarre electrical issues? Flickering lights, malfunctioning power windows, a security system that acts up, or even a no-start condition can all point to a failing Body Control Module (BCM). For a work vehicle, downtime isn’t an option. This pre-programmed BCM is the definitive solution to get you back on the road quickly, restoring your van’s critical functions and your peace of mind. We flash this module with the latest GM software using your vehicle’s VIN, ensuring it’s ready for installation right out of the box.

Expert Insight: Why Pre-Programming is Crucial
As a technician, I’ve seen countless hours and dollars wasted when a new BCM is installed without proper programming. The BCM is the central hub for your vehicle’s body electronics—it talks to everything from the power windows to the airbag system. Simply swapping the hardware won’t work. Our service eliminates this critical failure point. By programming the Programmed 2013-2021 Express 3500 BCM 22915542 to your specific VIN before we ship, we ensure all the factory-intended options and security protocols are correctly configured. This isn’t just a convenience; it’s the key to a successful and lasting repair.
Important Post-Installation Information
While this module is programmed to your vehicle, some systems may require an on-vehicle relearn procedure after installation. This is a normal part of the repair process.
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is on after installation, a professional scan tool is needed to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure to sync the systems.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: A recalibration of the brake pedal position sensor may be necessary to ensure correct brake light and traction control operation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do you need my VIN?
Your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) allows us to access the specific factory software and vehicle options for your Express 3500. We program the BCM with this data so it communicates perfectly with the other modules in your van, just like the original part did.
Is this part difficult to install?
Physically replacing the BCM is typically straightforward for someone with mechanical experience. It’s usually located under the dashboard. The main difficulty is the programming, which we handle for you. However, as noted, some on-vehicle relearn procedures might be required with a pro-level scan tool after installation.
What happens if my airbag light comes on after installation?
This is a known possibility. It means the new BCM and the airbag module (SDM) need to be electronically introduced. A qualified technician will need to use a diagnostic tool to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure to sync the two modules and turn off the light.
Do I have to send my old BCM back?
No. This purchase has no core charge. You can keep your original module, which can be helpful for double-checking part numbers or for any other purpose you may have.
How can I be sure this is the right part number?
The best way is to visually inspect your original BCM and match the part number (22915542 or 22820314) on its label. Cross-referencing with our fitment list also provides a high degree of confidence.
Will this fix my specific electrical problem?
This Programmed 2013-2021 Express 3500 BCM 22915542 is the solution for failures within the module itself. While it resolves the vast majority of the symptoms listed, we always recommend a proper diagnosis by a qualified technician to confirm the BCM is the root cause before ordering.
