Restore Full Function to Your GM Truck or SUV
Are you battling bizarre and frustrating electrical issues in your 2002 Escalade, Tahoe, Yukon, or other GM truck? When power windows have a mind of their own, the security light won’t turn off, or the dashboard acts erratically, a failing Body Control Module (BCM) is often the culprit. This isn’t just an annoyance; it’s a breakdown in your vehicle’s central nervous system. We offer a direct, reliable solution: a replacement 2002 Escalade EXT Body Control Module, professionally programmed specifically for your vehicle to restore order and functionality.

- Erratic gauge cluster behavior or warning lights that come on for no reason.
- Radio or climate control malfunctions.
- Communication error codes (U-codes) when scanned with a diagnostic tool.

Expert Insight: Why VIN Programming is Non-Negotiable
On these early 2000s GM vehicles, the BCM is the heart of the Passlock II anti-theft system. It’s not just a simple circuit board; it’s a computer that must be perfectly matched to your vehicle’s unique Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and security key. Simply swapping a BCM from another truck will result in a no-start condition every time. Our mandatory VIN programming service ensures the replacement BCM correctly communicates with your Powertrain Control Module (PCM) and recognizes your key, allowing for a seamless and successful repair.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to program this BCM?
No. We handle all the programming for you before shipment. You must provide us with your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN after purchase so we can flash the module. This makes the installation process as simple as possible for you.
Where is the BCM located on my 2002 Tahoe/Yukon/Escalade?
The Body Control Module is typically located under the driver’s side of the dashboard, near the steering column. It is a black plastic box with several large electrical connectors.
What if my airbag light is on after installation?
In some cases, the new BCM may need to be synced with the airbag system’s computer (SDM). This requires a professional scan tool to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure. This is only necessary if the airbag warning light illuminates after the BCM is installed.
Is this a brand new part?
This is a quality-tested, guaranteed good component that has been inspected and prepared to provide excellent service. It is programmed with the latest software to ensure it performs reliably in your vehicle.
Why is providing my VIN so important?
Your VIN is essential for us to load the correct software and security information into the 2002 Escalade EXT Body Control Module. Without the correct programming, the module will not work, and your vehicle will not start. It ensures complete compatibility with your truck’s specific options and systems.
