Restore Full Electronic Functionality to Your GM Truck
Is your 2000 Suburban, Tahoe, or Yukon suffering from strange and unpredictable electrical problems? Issues like erratic power windows, malfunctioning interior lights, a flashing security light, or intermittent door locks are often hallmark signs of a failing Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM is the central command center for your truck’s body electronics, and when it fails, it can create a cascade of frustrating issues. This replacement Body Control Module, part number 09377486, is the definitive solution to get your vehicle’s features working reliably again.
From the Diagnostic Bay
We had a 2000 Yukon in the shop that was driving the owner crazy. The radio would turn on and off by itself, the dome lights would flicker while driving, and the power locks worked only when they felt like it. The owner had already replaced the battery and checked all the fuses. After connecting our scan tool, we noticed communication errors with several accessory modules. All signs pointed to the BCM. We installed a VIN-programmed module, and instantly, all the electrical gremlins vanished. It’s a common issue on these GMT800 platform trucks, and a properly programmed BCM is almost always the fix.
Common Failure Symptoms
- ✔ Power windows or door locks operating intermittently or not at all.
- ✔ Interior or exterior lights staying on, flickering, or not turning on.
- ✔ The security or anti-theft light flashing, preventing the engine from starting.
- ✔ Inaccurate or non-functional instrument panel gauges.
- ✔ Radio or climate control systems behaving erratically.
- ✔ False warnings or error messages on the driver information center.
Why Choose a Pre-Programmed 2000 Suburban BCM?
Replacing a BCM isn’t as simple as swapping the old part for a new one. These modules are vehicle-specific and contain critical information, including your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and the specific options your truck was built with. Our service eliminates the most difficult part of the repair. We take your VIN and flash this module with the latest GM software updates specific to your vehicle. This means no expensive trips to the dealership for programming. It arrives at your door ready for installation, saving you time, money, and hassle. This is the most efficient way to get your 2000 Suburban BCM replaced and your truck back to 100%.
Installation and Post-Install Procedures
The BCM is typically located on the driver’s side, under the dashboard. While the physical replacement is straightforward for a DIY mechanic, some electronic syncing may be required after installation. Please be aware of the following potential procedures:
- Airbag System Sync: If your airbag warning light is on after installation, a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure must be performed with a professional scan tool to sync the new BCM with the airbag system.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: In some cases, a brake pedal position sensor recalibration might be needed to ensure correct brake light and traction control operation.
Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician for vehicle-specific 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, and even the radio and climate controls. It acts as the central hub for these electronic accessories.
Why do you need my VIN?
Your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) allows us to program the replacement BCM with the exact software and settings your truck had from the factory. This ensures all features work correctly and makes the installation process as close to plug-and-play as possible, saving you a trip to the dealer.
Is this BCM difficult to install?
The physical installation is manageable for someone with basic mechanical skills, as it’s typically located under the driver’s side dash and held in with a few bolts and connectors. However, be prepared for potential post-installation electronic procedures, like an airbag system sync, which may require a professional scan tool.
What happens if I don’t perform the post-install procedures?
If required for your vehicle, skipping procedures like the airbag sync could result in a persistent airbag warning light on your dash. Not performing a brake pedal position relearn could lead to improper brake light function. It’s best to have a professional scan tool available or a technician on standby in case these are needed.
Is there a core charge for this part?
No, there is no core charge for this BCM. You can keep your original module without needing to send it back to us.
