Restore Full Electrical Function to Your GM Truck or SUV
Are you battling strange and frustrating electrical issues in your 2000 Chevrolet Tahoe, Suburban, or GMC Yukon? Flickering lights, malfunctioning power windows and locks, or a security system that acts on its own are common signs of a failing Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM is the central command center for your vehicle’s body electronics, and when it fails, it can cause a wide range of problems. This direct-fit BCM, part number 09377486, is the reliable solution to get your truck back to 100%.
Common Symptoms of a Failing BCM
- ✔ Intermittent or non-working power windows, door locks, or mirrors.
- ✔ Interior or exterior lights staying on or not turning on at all.
- ✔ The security system or alarm randomly activating or not setting.
- ✔ Erratic behavior from the radio or instrument cluster gauges.
- ✔ A “Service Vehicle Soon” or other warning lights on the dash.
- ✔ Inability to communicate with the module using a diagnostic scan tool.
Why Choose Our Programmed 2000 Tahoe BCM?

Simply provide your vehicle’s VIN during checkout, and our technicians will program this BCM with the latest GM software updates specific to your truck. This ensures a seamless installation process, restoring factory functionality without a costly trip to the dealership for programming.
Installation & Post-Install Notes
The BCM is typically located on the left-hand (driver’s) side of the dashboard. While the physical replacement is straightforward, please be aware of the following potential procedures that may be required after installation:
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is illuminated after installation, a professional scan tool is needed to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure. This syncs the new BCM with the airbag system.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: To ensure correct brake light and traction control operation, a brake pedal position sensor recalibration may be necessary on some models.
Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician for vehicle-specific guidance.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a Body Control Module do?
The BCM acts as the brain for your vehicle’s body electronics. It controls non-engine related functions like power windows, locks, interior lighting, the security system, and wipers.
How do I know if my BCM is the problem?
Common signs include multiple, unrelated electrical issues happening at once. For example, if your power locks, interior lights, and radio are all malfunctioning, the BCM is a likely culprit. A diagnostic scan by a professional can confirm the failure.
Is this part difficult to install?
The physical installation is typically simple, involving unplugging the old module and plugging in the new one. However, as noted above, some post-installation electronic procedures may be required with a professional scan tool.
What happens after I place my order?
After you purchase, you will need to provide us with your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN. Our technicians will then program the module specifically for your truck before shipping it to you.
Do I need to send my old part back?
No, there is no core charge for this part. You can keep your original module. This eliminates return shipping and waiting for a core refund.
