Is Your 2001 GM Truck Experiencing Electrical Gremlins?
If your 2001 Silverado, Sierra, Tahoe, or Yukon is suffering from bizarre electrical issues like flickering lights, malfunctioning power windows and locks, or a security system that prevents it from starting, a failing Body Control Module (BCM) is the most likely culprit. The BCM is the central command center for your vehicle’s body electronics, and when it fails, it can create a host of frustrating and seemingly unrelated problems. This replacement Body Control Module, part number 09375899, is the definitive solution to restore your truck’s proper function and reliability.
Common Symptoms of a Failing BCM
- ✔ Intermittent or non-working power windows, door locks, or mirrors.
- ✔ Erratic interior or exterior lights (flickering, staying on, or not turning on).
- ✔ The security or anti-theft light is on, preventing the engine from starting.
- ✔ Inconsistent or non-functional dashboard gauges.
- ✔ Problems with the radio or climate control systems.
- ✔ False warnings on the driver information center.
The Easiest Solution: A Pre-Programmed 2001 Silverado BCM
Don’t waste time and money at the dealership. We simplify the repair process by programming this module specifically for your vehicle before it ships. Simply provide us with your vehicle’s VIN during checkout, and our technicians will flash the BCM with the latest GM-certified software for your exact configuration. This ensures that when the part arrives, it’s ready for installation, saving you from needing specialized dealer tools for programming. This is the most efficient way to get your truck back to 100% functionality.
Installation and Post-Install Procedures
Installation is straightforward for anyone with basic mechanical skills. The BCM is typically located under the driver’s side dashboard. While this module is sent ready for your vehicle, some GM models may require a simple relearn procedure after installation for specific systems. These are not required for all vehicles.
- Airbag System Sync: If your airbag warning light is on after installation, a technician will need to perform a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure with a professional scan tool to sync the new BCM with the airbag system.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: On some models, a brake pedal position sensor relearn may be needed to ensure correct brake light operation and traction control function.
Note: There is no core charge for this module. You can keep your original part.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the VIN programming service work?
After you place your order, you will need to provide us with your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). Our technicians use this VIN to load the correct, vehicle-specific software and calibrations from GM onto the module before we ship it to you.
Is this part truly plug-and-play?
For most vehicles, yes. Because it comes pre-programmed, it eliminates the most difficult step. However, as noted, some vehicles may require a simple ‘relearn’ procedure for the airbag or brake systems, which can be done with a capable scan tool.
Where is the BCM located on my 2001 Silverado?
The Body Control Module is typically located on the driver’s side of the vehicle, up under the dashboard, often near the steering column.
Will this fix my no-start problem?
If your no-start issue is caused by the factory anti-theft system (Passlock) being triggered by a faulty BCM (a very common issue), then yes, this module is designed to resolve that problem.
Do I need to send my old BCM back?
No. This product comes with no core charge, so you are not required to return your original module.
