Get Your Work Van Back on the Road, Not Stuck in the Shop
When your Savana’s electrical systems start acting up, it’s not just an inconvenienceโit’s a threat to your workday. Flickering lights, unresponsive power windows, a blaring alarm that won’t shut off, or worst of all, a van that won’t start, all point to a failing Body Control Module (BCM). Don’t let a complex computer issue sideline your business. This pre-programmed BCM is the straightforward, reliable solution designed to get your vehicle running properly again with minimal downtime.
Common Symptoms & Your Solution
A faulty BCM is the hidden culprit behind some of the most frustrating vehicle issues. If you’re experiencing any of the following, this module is the definitive fix:
- Intermittent or non-working headlights, taillights, or interior lights.
- Power windows, door locks, or mirrors behaving erratically or not at all.
- The security system engaging randomly or preventing the engine from starting (Passlock/Passkey issues).
- Warning lights on the dash that have no other apparent cause.
- Complete no-start condition where the engine cranks but won’t fire up.
Instead of paying for expensive diagnostic time and programming fees at a dealership, this module arrives flashed with the latest GM software and coded specifically to your vehicle’s VIN. It’s the most efficient way to replace your failing 2013-2019 Savana 3500 Body Control Module and restore all electrical functions to factory-perfect operation.

Expert Insight: The ‘Plug & Play’ Advantage
As a technician, I’ve seen countless hours and dollars wasted on electrical diagnostics. The BCM is the ‘brain’ for your vehicle’s body electronics. In the past, replacing one meant towing the vehicle to a dealer, paying for the new part, and then paying an additional 1-2 hours of labor for programming. For a business owner, that’s a full day of lost revenue. Our pre-programming service eliminates that entire process. You receive a part that is truly ready for installation, turning a costly, time-consuming repair into a job you or your mechanic can complete in a fraction of the time. For a workhorse like a Savana, that’s not just a convenienceโit’s a competitive advantage.
Important Post-Installation Procedures
While this module is programmed for your VIN, some vehicle systems may require a simple resynchronization procedure after installation. Please be aware of the following potential requirements:
- 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 module.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: On some models, a brake pedal position sensor recalibration may be necessary to ensure correct brake light operation and traction control system performance.
We provide this expertly programmed 2013-2019 Savana 3500 Body Control Module to make your repair as simple as possible. By handling the complex programming on our end, we save you the biggest hurdle in BCM replacement.
Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly does the BCM do?
The Body Control Module acts as the central hub for your vehicle’s body electronics. It controls functions not related to the engine, such as power windows, locks, lights, the alarm system, and interior accessories. When it fails, these systems can become unreliable.
How do I know for sure that my BCM is the problem?
While the symptoms listed above are strong indicators, a definitive diagnosis often requires a professional scan tool that can communicate with the BCM. If you’re experiencing multiple, unrelated electrical issues simultaneously, the BCM is the most likely culprit.
Is this module difficult to install?
Physically, the BCM is typically located under the dashboard and is a plug-and-play component held in by a few bolts or clips. The main difficulty is usually the programming, which we have already completed for you. Most DIYers with moderate experience can perform the installation.
Where do I provide my vehicle’s VIN?
After you complete your purchase, you will need to send us your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). We cannot program and ship your BCM without it. Please double-check the VIN for accuracy to ensure a perfect match.
What if my airbag light comes on after installation?
This is a known possibility. It means the new BCM needs to be electronically ‘introduced’ to your vehicle’s airbag module (SDM). The ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure must be performed by a shop with a professional-grade diagnostic tool.
Will this fit vehicles other than the Savana 3500?
Yes. This 2013-2019 Savana 3500 Body Control Module is also the correct part for a wide range of GM vehicles, including the Express Van, Traverse, Acadia, Enclave, Impala, and CTS within specific year ranges. Please refer to the detailed fitment list on this page to confirm compatibility.
