Are you dealing with frustrating electrical problems in your 2000 GMC Yukon, Tahoe, or Suburban? Issues like flickering lights, power windows or locks that work intermittently, or a security system that acts up on its own are classic signs of 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 cause a wide range of confusing and unpredictable symptoms. Restore full functionality and reliability to your truck with our pre-programmed BCM, designed for a direct-fit replacement.
Common Symptoms of a Failing BCM
- ✔ Power windows, door locks, or mirrors not working correctly.
- ✔ Interior or exterior lights behaving erratically (staying on, not turning on, or flickering).
- ✔ The security system or alarm engaging randomly.
- ✔ The radio or instrument cluster losing power intermittently.
- ✔ “Service Vehicle Soon” or other warning lights on the dash.
- ✔ Inability to communicate with the module using a diagnostic scan tool.

Installation and Post-Install Procedures
Installation involves locating the original BCM (typically under the driver’s side of the dashboard), disconnecting the battery, swapping the modules, and reconnecting the battery. While the unit is programmed for your VIN, some vehicles may require additional steps to sync with other onboard systems.
- Airbag System Sync: If your 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. This is only necessary if the light appears.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: On some models, a brake pedal position sensor recalibration might be required to ensure your brake lights and traction control system function as intended.
Disclaimer: Specific procedures can vary. Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician for guidance.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does a Body Control Module do?
The BCM acts as the central computer for your vehicle’s body electronics. It controls non-engine related functions like power windows, locks, interior and exterior lighting, security systems, and wipers.
How do I provide my VIN for programming?
After you complete your purchase, you will need to send us your 17-digit VIN. We cannot ship the module until we receive your VIN to perform the necessary programming.
Is this part difficult to install?
For someone with basic mechanical skills, the physical swap is straightforward. The BCM is usually located under the driver’s side dashboard. The most important part is providing the correct VIN for programming to ensure a smooth process.
Do I need to return my old BCM?
No, there is no core charge for this part. You can keep your original module.
What if my airbag light comes on after I install this?
This can happen occasionally. It means the new BCM needs to be electronically introduced to the airbag system. A technician with a professional-grade scan tool will need to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure to resolve it.
