Restore Full Electrical Control to Your GM Truck or SUV
Are you battling frustrating electrical gremlins in your 2001 GM truck? Issues like malfunctioning power windows, erratic interior lights, a faulty security system, or intermittent no-start conditions often point to a single culprit: a failing Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM acts as the central hub for your vehicle’s body electronics, and when it fails, it can cause a cascade of confusing problems. This replacement Body Control Module, part number 09370249, is the definitive solution to restore your vehicle’s electronic systems to perfect working order.
Common Symptoms of a Failing BCM
- ✔ Power windows, door locks, or mirrors operating intermittently or not at all.
- ✔ Interior or exterior lights staying on, flickering, or not turning on.
- ✔ Vehicle security system acting up or preventing the engine from starting.
- ✔ Horn honking unexpectedly or not working when pressed.
- ✔ Inaccurate or non-functional gauges on the instrument cluster.
- ✔ “Service Vehicle Soon” or other warning lights illuminated on the dash.
The Plug-and-Play Solution for Your 2001 Silverado 3500 BCM
Forget the hassle and expense of a dealership visit. We simplify the repair process by programming this module to your vehicle’s specific VIN before it ships. This ensures that the BCM is configured for all the options your truck came with from the factory. We load the latest, most stable software from GM, providing a reliable and long-lasting repair. The physical installation is a straightforward swap of the old module, typically located under the driver’s side dashboard.
Post-Installation Information
While this module is programmed for your vehicle, some GM platforms may require a simple component relearn procedure after installation. These are not always necessary but are good to be aware of:
- Airbag System Sync: If your airbag warning light is on after installation, a technician will need to perform the “Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM” procedure with a capable scan tool. This syncs the new BCM with the airbag system.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: On some models, a brake pedal position sensor recalibration might be needed to ensure proper brake light and traction control operation.
Good news: There is no core charge for this part. You can keep your original module.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to have this BCM programmed?
No. We handle the programming for you before shipping. Simply provide your vehicle’s VIN during or after checkout, and we will flash the module with the latest GM software matched to your truck’s factory options.
Where is the BCM located on my 2001 Silverado or Sierra?
The Body Control Module is typically located on the driver’s side, up under the dashboard, often near the steering column or parking brake pedal assembly.
Is this part difficult to install?
The physical replacement is generally simple, requiring only basic hand tools to remove a few dash panels and unbolt the module. The most critical part is ensuring the post-install relearn procedures are performed if necessary.
What happens if the airbag light comes on after I install it?
This indicates the new BCM needs to be synchronized with the vehicle’s existing airbag module (SDM). A qualified technician with a professional diagnostic tool can perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure to resolve this.
Why is my VIN required for this part?
Your VIN allows us to access the specific build data for your truck. This ensures we program the BCM to correctly operate all of your vehicle’s features, such as power seats, keyless entry, and specific lighting options, for a seamless repair.
