Restore Full Electrical Function to Your GM Truck or SUV
Are you battling bizarre and frustrating electrical problems in your vehicle? Intermittent power windows, flickering lights, a security system that acts on its own, or a persistent battery drain can all point to a single culprit: a failing Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM is the central command center for your truck’s body electronics, and when it malfunctions, it can create a cascade of hard-to-diagnose issues. This replacement Body Control Module, compatible with service number 09371990, is the definitive solution to restore your vehicle’s electronic systems to perfect working order.
Unlike a standard replacement part from a dealer or salvage yard, this BCM arrives at your door fully programmed to your vehicle’s specific Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). We flash the module with the latest software updates directly from GM, ensuring optimal performance and compatibility. This critical step eliminates the need for an expensive trip to the dealership for programming, saving you time, money, and hassle. Simply provide your VIN at checkout, and we handle the rest, delivering a part that is truly ready for installation.
From the Diagnostic Bay
We had a 2000 Chevy Silverado in the shop that was driving the owner crazy. Every few days, the battery would be completely dead. He’d already replaced the battery and alternator, but the parasitic drain continued. On top of that, the dome lights would sometimes stay on, and the power locks would work intermittently. After hours of tracing wires, we isolated the issue to the BCM. It was internally shorting, causing the drain and erratic behavior. We installed one of our VIN-programmed modules, and the truck has been perfect ever since. These symptoms are classic signs of a failing BCM in this generation of GM trucks.
Common Symptoms of a Failing BCM
- ✔ Erratic or non-functional power windows, door locks, and mirrors.
- ✔ Interior or exterior lights that won’t turn on or off correctly.
- ✔ The security or anti-theft light flashing, preventing the engine from starting (VATS issue).
- ✔ Unexplained parasitic battery drain that kills your battery overnight.
- ✔ Horn honking unexpectedly or not working at all.
- ✔ Gauges on the instrument cluster behaving erratically or not working.
- ✔ Radio or climate control systems functioning improperly.
The Smart Solution: A Programmed 2000 Yukon BCM
Choosing our pre-programmed 2000 Yukon BCM is the most efficient way to get your truck back on the road. We take a quality, tested module and professionally program it using your vehicle’s VIN. This ensures that all the specific options and security information from your original truck are correctly loaded into the replacement unit. The result is a seamless installation process that restores factory functionality without complex dealer-level tools.
Installation and Post-Install Considerations
Physically replacing the BCM is straightforward for anyone with basic mechanical skills. It is typically located under the driver’s side of the dashboard. However, due to the integration of various vehicle systems, some additional steps may be required after installation.
- Airbag System Sync: If your airbag warning light is illuminated after installation, a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure is necessary. This requires a professional bi-directional scan tool to sync the new BCM with the airbag system’s Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM).
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: In some cases, a brake pedal position sensor recalibration may be needed to ensure proper operation of the brake lights and traction control system. This also typically requires a capable scan tool.
We believe in transparency, and while many installations require no further steps, it’s important to be aware of these potential procedures. Always consult a factory service manual for detailed instructions specific to your vehicle.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a Body Control Module (BCM) do?
The BCM is a computer that controls and monitors many of your vehicle’s non-engine related functions, such as power windows, locks, lights, security system, wipers, and interior accessories. It acts as a central hub for these electronic features.
How do I know if my BCM is failing?
Common signs include multiple, unrelated electrical issues happening at once. This can be anything from your dome lights not working to your security system preventing the truck from starting. A persistent battery drain that can’t be traced to other components is also a strong indicator.
Is this BCM difficult to install?
The physical replacement is relatively simple, usually involving removing a few dash panels and unplugging connectors. However, as noted, some vehicles may require a post-installation relearn procedure for the airbag or brake systems, which requires a professional scan tool.
What is VIN programming and why is it necessary?
VIN programming loads your vehicle’s specific data—including security information (VATS), and options like keyless entry—onto the BCM. Without it, the module won’t communicate correctly with other computers in your truck, and the vehicle may not start or function properly. Our service does this for you before shipping.
Do I need to send my old BCM back?
No, there is no core charge for this part. You can keep your original module.
Where is the BCM located on my 2000 Yukon or Silverado?
On most GM trucks and SUVs from this era, the BCM is located under the driver’s side of the dashboard, often to the left of the steering column.
