Is Your Work Van Plagued with Baffling Electrical Issues?
When your Chevrolet Express or GMC Savana starts acting up, it’s more than an annoyanceโit’s a threat to your livelihood. Flickering lights, malfunctioning power windows, a dead instrument cluster, or a van that refuses to start can bring your business to a grinding halt. These are classic signs of a failing Body Control Module (BCM), the central command center for your vehicle’s electronics. Don’t let a faulty module keep you off the road. This fully programmed BCM is the straightforward, reliable solution to get your workhorse back in service, fast.
Common Symptoms of a Failing BCM & Your Solution
A failing BCM can cause a cascade of frustrating and seemingly unrelated problems. If you’re experiencing any of the following, it’s highly likely your BCM is the culprit:
- Erratic interior or exterior lights (staying on or not working at all)
- Power windows, door locks, or mirrors behaving unpredictably
- The security or anti-theft system preventing the engine from starting
- Warning lights appearing on the dash for no reason
- Communication failure with diagnostic scan tools (U-codes)
This Programmed 22915542 Body Control Module is the definitive fix. We take the guesswork and hassle out of the repair by pre-flashing the unit with the latest GM software, specifically matched to your vehicle’s VIN. This means no expensive trip to the dealership for programmingโyou can perform the installation yourself and get back to work.

Expert Insight: Why Pre-Programming is a Game-Changer for Your Work Van
As a technician, I’ve seen countless small business owners and tradespeople lose valuable time and money over a BCM failure. The old way involved towing the van to a dealer, waiting for a diagnosis, paying for the part, and then paying steep labor rates for programming. That’s days of lost revenue. This Programmed 22915542 Body Control Module changes the entire equation. We handle the complex programming on our bench, so all you have to do is the physical swap. It turns a multi-day, high-cost ordeal into a manageable repair you can often complete in your own driveway, getting your mobile office back on the jobsite where it belongs.
Post-Installation Procedures
While this module is designed for a plug-and-play experience, some GM vehicles may require one or more of the following procedures to ensure all systems communicate correctly after installation. Please be aware of these potential steps:
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is illuminated after installation, a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure must be performed with a professional-grade diagnostic tool.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: A recalibration of the brake pedal position sensor may be needed to ensure proper brake light and traction control operation.
Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician for vehicle-specific guidance.

Frequently Asked Questions
What information do I need to provide for programming?
After you complete your purchase, you must provide us with your vehicle’s 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). This is essential for us to program the BCM with the correct software and calibration files for your specific vehicle configuration.
Is this a truly plug-and-play installation?
For most vehicles, yes. The module is pre-programmed to function upon installation. However, as noted in the description, certain systems like the airbag (SRS) or brake sensor may require a simple relearn procedure with a capable scan tool to fully sync with the new BCM. This is a characteristic of the vehicle’s design, not the part itself.
Will this fix my specific problem?
This Programmed 22915542 Body Control Module is the correct component to fix the wide range of electrical symptoms caused by a faulty BCM. However, we always recommend a proper diagnosis by a qualified technician to confirm the BCM is the root cause before ordering.
Do I have to send my old BCM back?
No. This product comes with no core charge. You can keep your original module, which can be useful for diagnostic comparison or as a backup if needed.
What tools are required for installation?
Physical installation typically requires only basic hand tools like a socket set and screwdrivers to access the module’s location (usually in the dash). For any potential post-installation relearn procedures, a professional-grade bidirectional scan tool is necessary.
