Expert Insight: The Power of VIN Programming
As a technician, I’ve seen countless GMT800-platform trucks like the 2002 Avalanche, Tahoe, and Yukon. One of the biggest hurdles in replacing a BCM is programming. These trucks have dozens of different options (RPO codes) that the BCM must know aboutโfrom power seats to the type of 4×4 system. A generic, unprogrammed module from a parts store or salvage yard simply won’t work correctly. Our VIN-specific programming service takes all the guesswork out of the equation. We configure the module to match your truck’s exact factory build, ensuring every feature works as intended right out of the box. This saves you from a costly and time-consuming visit to a dealer for programming.

By providing us with your VIN at checkout, you ensure a perfectly matched component that is ready to restore order to your vehicle’s complex electronic systems.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Body Control Module (BCM)?
The BCM is a computer in your vehicle that controls and monitors a wide range of electronic accessories not related to the engine. This includes power windows, locks, interior and exterior lighting, the security system, and the instrument cluster, among other things.
How do I provide my VIN?
After you complete your purchase, you will need to send us a message with your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN. We cannot program and ship your 2002 Avalanche 1500 Body Control Module until we receive this information.
Is this part difficult to install?
The BCM is typically located under the driver’s side of the dashboard, near the steering column. For someone with basic mechanical skills and tools, the physical replacement is straightforward. Since the unit comes pre-programmed, no special computer tools are needed for the initial installation.
Will I need to perform any procedures after installation?
In some cases, yes. If your airbag light comes on, a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure is required using a professional scan tool. Additionally, a ‘Brake Pedal Position Relearn’ may be necessary. These are standard procedures for BCM replacement on these vehicles.
Will this fix my ‘Security’ light issue?
Yes, a faulty BCM is one of the most common causes of Passlock security system issues on these GM trucks. Replacing it with a properly programmed unit is a very effective way to solve problems where the security light is on and the vehicle won’t start.
