End Frustrating Electrical Gremlins and Get Your Truck Back to Work
Is your Silverado, Sierra, or GM SUV acting possessed? Flickering lights, windows that won’t roll down, a security system that randomly goes off, or a dashboard lit up with warning lights are all classic signs of a failing Body Control Module (BCM). These issues aren’t just annoyingโthey compromise your vehicle’s reliability and can leave you stranded. Stop chasing symptoms and replace the core of the problem with our pre-programmed BCM, designed to restore your truck’s factory functions and get you back on the road with confidence.
Common Symptoms & Your Solution
A faulty BCM is the central computer for your vehicle’s body electronics, and its failure can cause a cascade of confusing problems. If you’re experiencing any of the following, this module is your definitive solution:
- Intermittent or non-functional power windows, door locks, and interior lights.
- Erratic instrument cluster behavior or warning messages (e.g., ‘Service Theft Deterrent System’).
- HVAC (Climate Control) system not operating correctly.
- Remote keyless entry failure.
- In some cases, a no-start condition where the engine will not crank.
This programmed 22846364 BCM is the direct-fit, reliable fix for these issues, arriving ready for installation without requiring a trip to the dealership for expensive programming.
Features & Benefits
- โ VIN-Specific Programming: We flash the module with the latest GM software using your vehicle’s VIN. This ensures perfect communication between modules and proper function of all your truck’s specific options.
- โ True Plug-and-Play Installation: Because it’s pre-programmed, you can simply install the module and, in most cases, be back on the road. Some vehicles may require a simple relearn procedure (see below), but the critical, complex programming is done for you.
- โ Restores Full Functionality: Get your power accessories, security system, and other body-controlled electronics working exactly as they did from the factory.
- โ No Core Charge: Keep your old BCM. There’s no need to worry about the cost or hassle of sending a core back to us.
- โ Guaranteed Performance: This unit is backed by our one-year replacement warranty.
Expert Insight: Why Pre-Programming is Non-Negotiable
As a technician, I’ve seen countless hours and dollars wasted when a customer installs a blank BCM from a parts store. The vehicle is dead in the water until it’s towed to a shop with expensive GM diagnostic tools for programming. Our process eliminates that entire step. We’re not just selling a part; we’re providing a complete solution. By programming the programmed 22846364 BCM to your truck’s unique VIN before it even ships, we save you the downtime, towing fees, and dealership labor costs. It’s the smartest way to get your heavy-duty truck or SUV fixed right the first time.
Installation & Post-Install Notes
The BCM is typically located under the driver’s side of the dashboard, near the steering column. While installation is straightforward, please note the following potential post-installation requirements:
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is on after installation, a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure must be performed by a qualified technician with a professional scan tool.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: A recalibration of the brake pedal position sensor may be necessary on some models to ensure proper brake light and traction control operation.
This programmed 22846364 BCM is a direct replacement for part numbers 22737275 and 22846365. Verify your part number before ordering to ensure compatibility.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to send you my old BCM?
No. This purchase does not require a core return. You can keep your original module.
How do I provide my VIN for programming?
After you complete your purchase, you will need to send us a message with your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). We cannot ship your order until we receive this information.
Is this a difficult part to install myself?
For someone with moderate mechanical skill, the physical installation is not difficult. It is typically located under the driver’s side dash and involves disconnecting the battery and swapping electrical connectors. The most critical part is ensuring any necessary relearn procedures are performed afterward.
What happens if the airbag light comes on after I install it?
This is a known possibility. It means the new BCM needs to be electronically ‘shaken hands’ with the airbag system’s SDM module. A repair shop with a high-level scan tool (like a GM Tech 2 or equivalent) can perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure in a few minutes to resolve this.
Will this fix my check engine light?
A BCM typically does not control engine functions that trigger a check engine light. The BCM manages body electronics like lights, windows, and security. If you have a check engine light, you should have the codes scanned to diagnose the root cause, which is likely related to the Engine Control Module (ECM) or a powertrain sensor.
