Is Your GM Truck or SUV Plagued by Electrical Gremlins?
Are you dealing with flickering lights, power windows that have a mind of their own, or a security system that won’t cooperate? These frustrating and seemingly random electrical issues often point to a single culprit: a failing Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM is the central command center for your vehicle’s body electronics, and when it starts to fail, it can create a cascade of problems. Don’t let a faulty module keep you from enjoying your vehicle. This is the direct, reliable solution you need.
This replacement Body Control Module is a direct-fit solution for a wide range of 2000 and 2001 GM trucks and SUVs. What sets our module apart is our professional programming service. Before we ship your part, we flash it with the latest GM software updates and program it specifically to your vehicle’s VIN. This critical step ensures compatibility and proper function right out of the box, saving you from a costly and time-consuming trip to the dealership for programming.
From the Diagnostic Bay
We had a 2000 Silverado in the shop with a classic “mystery” battery drain. The owner had replaced the battery twice and the alternator once, but the truck would still be dead after sitting for a day or two. After hooking up a multimeter, we traced the parasitic draw to the BCM. It wasn’t fully going to sleep, keeping several circuits active and slowly draining the battery overnight. A new, properly programmed BCM solved the problem instantly, saving the customer from further frustration and wasted money on parts he didn’t need.
Common Symptoms of a Failing 2000 Tahoe Body Control Module
- ✔ Erratic or non-functional power windows and door locks.
- ✔ Interior or exterior lights staying on or not turning on at all.
- ✔ The security system or keyless entry failing to work correctly.
- ✔ Horn honking randomly or not working when pressed.
- ✔ Unexplained parasitic battery drain that kills your battery overnight.
- ✔ False warning lights on the instrument cluster.
Simple Installation and Post-Install Notes
Physically replacing the BCM is straightforward for most DIY mechanics, typically located under the driver’s side dashboard. Because this module comes programmed to your VIN, the most complex part of the job is already done. However, depending on your vehicle’s specific configuration, a couple of post-installation procedures may be necessary.
- Airbag System Sync: If your airbag warning light is on after installation, a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure is required. This syncs the new BCM with the airbag system and must be performed with a professional-grade scan tool.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: Some models may require a brake pedal position sensor recalibration to ensure the brake lights and traction control system function as intended.
Please note: Specific procedures can vary. Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician for guidance.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Body Control Module (BCM) do?
The BCM is a computer that controls and monitors many of your vehicle’s non-engine-related functions. This includes power windows, door locks, interior and exterior lighting, the security system, wipers, and more.
Is this BCM truly plug-and-play?
Because we program it to your specific VIN before shipping, it is as close to plug-and-play as possible. It eliminates the need for dealer programming. However, as noted, some vehicles may require minor relearn procedures (like for the airbag or brake systems) with a scan tool after installation.
How do I provide my VIN for programming?
After you complete your purchase, you will need to send us your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). We cannot ship the module until we receive this information to ensure it is programmed correctly for your vehicle.
My original part number is 9371990. Will this part work?
Yes. This module is a direct replacement for several service numbers, including 9371990, 19208539, and 9385236. As long as your vehicle is on the compatibility list, this part will function correctly.
Do I need to return my old BCM?
No, there is no core charge for this part. You can keep your original module.
