Restore Full Electronic Functionality to Your GM Truck or SUV
Is your 2000 GMC Yukon XL, Chevy Silverado, or Tahoe suffering from baffling electrical problems? Issues like erratic power windows, flickering interior lights, a security light that won’t turn off, or intermittent door lock operation 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 malfunctions, it can create a cascade of frustrating and unpredictable symptoms. This isn’t just an inconvenience; it can affect vehicle security and drivability.
Instead of struggling with a faulty original unit or risking a junkyard part with an unknown history, our professionally programmed BCM offers a reliable and straightforward solution. We take the guesswork out of the repair by flashing this module with the latest GM software updates, specifically tailored to your vehicle’s unique Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). This ensures seamless integration and restores the precise functionality your truck or SUV had when it left the factory.
Common Symptoms of a Failing BCM
- ✔ Intermittent or non-functional power windows, door locks, or mirrors.
- ✔ Interior dome lights or dashboard lights staying on or not working at all.
- ✔ The security or anti-theft light flashing, preventing the engine from starting.
- ✔ Erratic behavior from the radio or climate control systems.
- ✔ Horn honking unexpectedly or not working when pressed.
- ✔ False warning messages appearing on the instrument cluster.
- ✔ Problems with the remote keyless entry system.
From the Diagnostic Bay
We had a 2000 Silverado 1500 come into the shop with a classic BCM failure. The customer’s complaint was that his battery would be dead every morning. We tested the battery and alternator, and both were fine. After a parasitic draw test, we traced the issue to the BCM, which was keeping the interior courtesy lights faintly illuminated even when the truck was off and locked. It was a tiny draw, but enough to drain the battery overnight. Swapping in a VIN-programmed BCM like this one solved the problem instantly. It’s often these subtle, ghost-like electrical issues that lead back to the BCM.
Why a Pre-Programmed 2000 Yukon Body Control Module is Essential
The BCM is not a simple plug-and-play component. It contains vehicle-specific information, including security protocols and settings for various options your truck is equipped with. Installing a non-programmed module from another vehicle will result in system conflicts, feature malfunctions, and likely a no-start condition due to the anti-theft system. Our service eliminates this complexity. By providing us with your VIN during checkout, you receive a module that is ready for installation, significantly reducing shop labor costs and vehicle downtime. We handle the complex programming so you can focus on the physical installation.
Simple Ordering Process
- ✔ Confirm Fitment: Verify your vehicle and part number are on our compatibility list. This BCM is a direct replacement for service numbers 19208539, 9371990, and 9385236.
- ✔ Place Your Order: Add the BCM to your cart and proceed to checkout.
- ✔ Provide Your VIN: After purchase, simply send us your 17-digit VIN. This is a critical step, as we cannot ship the module without it.

Post-Installation Requirements
While our programming handles the majority of the setup, some vehicles may require additional steps after the new BCM is installed. These procedures sync the new module with other systems in your vehicle and typically require a professional-grade scan tool.
- Airbag System Sync: If your airbag warning light is on after installation, a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure is needed to sync the BCM with the airbag module.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: Some models may require a recalibration of the brake pedal position sensor to ensure correct brake light and traction control operation.
Please note: Specific procedures can vary. We always recommend consulting a factory service manual or a qualified automotive technician for guidance.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to send my original BCM back?
No, there is no core charge for this part. You can keep your original module.
Is this BCM difficult to install?
The physical installation is typically straightforward, involving the removal of a dash panel and unplugging a few connectors. However, post-installation procedures like an airbag sync may require a professional scan tool.
What happens if I don’t provide my VIN?
We cannot program or ship the Body Control Module without your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN. The programming is essential for the part to function correctly in your specific truck or SUV.
Will this fix my ‘Service 4WD’ light?
While the BCM communicates with many systems, a ‘Service 4WD’ message is more commonly related to the Transfer Case Control Module (TCCM), encoder motor, or dash switch. It’s best to have the specific trouble codes read to pinpoint the exact cause.
The part number on my module is 9371990. Will this one work?
Yes, this module is a direct replacement for service numbers 9385236, 19208539, and 9371990. It will be programmed to function identically to your original.
