Restore Full Electrical Function to Your GM Truck or SUV
Are you battling frustrating electrical gremlins in your 2001 GMC Sierra, Chevrolet Silverado, or other compatible GM vehicle? A failing Body Control Module (BCM) is often the culprit behind a host of baffling issues, from flickering lights and malfunctioning power windows to a vehicle that refuses to start. This replacement BCM, part number 09375899, is the definitive solution to restore your vehicle’s electronic systems to perfect working order. We take the guesswork and dealership hassle out of the equation by programming the module to your vehicle’s specific VIN before it ships. This means you get a part that’s ready for installation right out of the box, loaded with the latest software updates from GM for optimal performance and reliability.
Diagnosing a Faulty 2001 Sierra Body Control Module
The BCM is the central command center for your truck’s body electronics. When it begins to fail, it can disrupt communication between various components, leading to unpredictable behavior. If you’re experiencing any of the following, a faulty BCM is the likely cause.
Common Symptoms of a Failing BCM
- ✔ Intermittent or non-working power windows, door locks, or mirrors.
- ✔ Erratic interior or exterior lighting (flickering, staying on, or not turning on).
- ✔ The security or anti-theft light is illuminated, preventing the engine from starting.
- ✔ Horn sounding unexpectedly or not working at all.
- ✔ Inaccurate gauge readings or warning lights on the instrument cluster.
- ✔ Problems with the radio or climate control systems.
Plug & Play Solution with VIN Programming
Forget about expensive diagnostic tools or scheduling appointments for programming. Simply provide us with your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN during checkout, and our technicians will flash this module with your truck’s exact configuration and the newest GM software. This ensures seamless integration and functionality. Plus, there is no core charge, so you can keep your original module without the hassle of a return.
Post-Installation Procedures
In most cases, the installation is straightforward. However, depending on your vehicle’s specific systems, a couple of minor relearn procedures may be necessary after the new BCM is installed:
- 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 to sync the new BCM with the airbag system.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: To ensure correct brake light operation and traction control function, a brake pedal position sensor recalibration might be required.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the VIN programming service work?
After you place your order, you will need to provide us with your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN. Our technicians use this number to access the correct GM software and flash the module specifically for your truck’s options and features before we ship it.
Do I need any special tools for installation?
Basic hand tools are all that’s required to physically swap the module, which is typically located under the driver’s side dashboard. While the unit is plug-and-play, in some cases, a professional diagnostic tool may be needed for post-installation procedures like the airbag system sync.
What if my airbag light comes on after I install the BCM?
This is a known possibility. It means the new BCM needs to be electronically introduced to the vehicle’s airbag module (SDM). A repair shop with a professional-grade scan tool can perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure to resolve this.
Is this a brand new part?
This is a genuine OEM component that has been thoroughly inspected, tested, and programmed with the latest software to ensure it meets or exceeds original factory performance and reliability.
How do I know if this will fix my problem?
This BCM will correct issues directly caused by a faulty module, such as the symptoms listed above. If your vehicle’s problems are due to other failing components, wiring issues, or bad grounds, this part will not resolve them. Proper diagnosis is always recommended.
