Restore Full Functionality to Your GM Truck or SUV
Are you battling a storm of bizarre electrical issues in your vehicle? Flickering lights, power windows with a mind of their own, malfunctioning door locks, or a dashboard that lights up with random warnings are all classic signs of a failing Body Control Module (BCM). This critical component acts as the central nervous system for your vehicle’s body electronics, and when it falters, it can make driving frustrating and unpredictable. Get back in command with this professionally programmed BCM, designed to restore your vehicle’s performance and your peace of mind.
Common Symptoms & Your Solution
If you’re experiencing any of the following, a failing BCM is the likely culprit. This unit is the definitive solution for:
- Intermittent or non-functional power windows, locks, and mirrors
- Erratic interior or exterior lighting behavior
- Inoperative remote keyless entry (RKE) system
- False security system alarms or warnings
- Communication issues with other vehicle modules, leading to various warning lights

Expert Insight: The BCM is Your Vehicle’s Digital Traffic Cop
Think of the BCM as the air traffic controller for all non-engine related electronics. It takes inputs from dozens of switches and sensorsโlike your window switch, door lock button, and headlight switchโand sends commands to the corresponding motors and lights. When it fails, communication breaks down, and chaos ensues. Using a generic, non-programmed module is like hiring a controller who doesn’t speak the right language. That’s why our VIN-specific programming is essential. We ensure your new Programmed 22846364 BCM speaks the exact digital dialect of your vehicle, restoring order and seamless operation from the moment it’s installed.
Post-Installation Procedures
In some cases, your vehicle may require one or more simple relearn procedures after the new BCM is installed. These can often be performed with a capable bi-directional scan tool. Please be aware of the following possibilities:
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is illuminated after installation, a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure is necessary to sync the airbag system.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: A recalibration of the brake pedal position sensor may be needed to ensure correct brake light operation and traction control function.
Disclaimer: Specific procedures can vary by vehicle. Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician for guidance.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I provide my VIN for programming?
After you complete your purchase, you will need to send us your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN. We cannot ship your order until we receive this information, as the programming is specific to your truck or SUV.
Is this a difficult part to install?
The BCM is typically located under the driver’s side of the dashboard, near the steering column. Physical installation involves disconnecting the battery and swapping a few electrical connectors. For most experienced DIY-ers, it’s a manageable job. However, if you are not comfortable working with vehicle electronics, we recommend professional installation.
Will this fix my exact problem?
This Programmed 22846364 BCM is the correct solution for failures within the module itself, which cause the symptoms listed above. While it solves the vast majority of these electrical issues, it’s always essential to have a proper diagnosis to rule out other potential causes like wiring faults or bad sensors.
Do I need to do anything after installing it?
In many cases, the module will work immediately. However, as noted above, some vehicles may require additional relearn procedures for systems like the airbags or brake pedal position sensor. This is vehicle-dependent and may require a professional scan tool.
What if I have an airbag light on after installation?
This is a known possibility. The airbag control module (SDM) and BCM are linked for security. If the light appears, a technician will need to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure with a diagnostic tool to sync the modules and clear the light.
Is this a new or used part?
This is a quality, inspected, and tested original equipment part that has been expertly programmed with the latest software for your vehicle, ensuring reliable performance.
