Restore Your Truck’s Electrical System with a Plug-and-Programmed Solution
Are you tired of dealing with baffling electrical issues in your 2001 GM truck or SUV? Flickering lights, malfunctioning power windows, a security system that acts up, or an intermittent no-start condition can be incredibly frustrating. In my 20+ years as a technician, I’ve seen these symptoms countless times, and they almost always point to 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 confusing problems. Don’t let these electrical gremlins sideline your reliable truck. This is the direct, dependable fix you’ve been looking for.
We take the guesswork and the expensive dealership trip out of the equation. This replacement 2001 Yukon Body Control Module, part number 09370249, arrives at your door pre-programmed with the latest GM software updates. All we need is your vehicle’s VIN at checkout. This ensures the module is a perfect match for your specific vehicle configuration, making installation significantly simpler. You’re not just buying a part; you’re buying a complete solution designed to restore your vehicle’s functionality and your peace of mind.
From the Diagnostic Bay
A customer brought in his 2001 Silverado 2500 last month with a classic case of BCM failure. His power locks worked intermittently, the dome light would stay on, and the radio would randomly shut off. He had already replaced the battery and checked fuses, but the problems persisted. After a quick scan, we confirmed communication errors with the BCM. Instead of a lengthy programming session at the shop, he ordered one of our VIN-programmed modules. The following weekend, he swapped it himself in under an hour. The result? All electrical functions were restored immediately. It’s a common story, and this part is the reliable ending.
Is Your GM Truck Showing These Electrical Gremlins?
A failing BCM can manifest in various ways. If you’re experiencing any of the following, this module is the likely solution:
- ✔ Power windows, mirrors, or door locks operating erratically or not at all.
- ✔ Interior or exterior lights flickering, staying on, or not turning on.
- ✔ The security or anti-theft light is illuminated, preventing the engine from starting.
- ✔ The horn sounds randomly or doesn’t work.
- ✔ The radio or instrument cluster display is malfunctioning.
- ✔ False warning messages appearing on the driver information center.
Straightforward BCM Installation Guide
Replacing the 2001 Yukon Body Control Module is a manageable job for a DIYer with basic tools. It’s typically located under the driver’s side of the dashboard.
- Safety First: Disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery to prevent any electrical shorts.
- Locate the BCM: On most of these GM models, you’ll find the BCM mounted to the left of the steering column, often behind a lower dash panel. You may need to remove a plastic trim piece for access.
- Disconnect Connectors: Carefully release the locking tabs on the multiple wiring harness connectors and pull them straight out from the module. Do not force them.
- Remove the Old Module: Unbolt or unclip the old BCM from its mounting bracket and remove it from the vehicle.
- Install the New Module: Mount your new, pre-programmed BCM in the same location. Reconnect all wiring harnesses, ensuring each one clicks securely into place.
- Reconnect Battery: Reattach the negative battery terminal.
Crucial Post-Installation Procedures
After installing your new BCM, a couple of final steps are required to ensure full system functionality. This is not optional. First, the airbag warning light will likely be on. You must perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure with a compatible high-level scan tool to re-establish communication between the BCM and the airbag system. Second, some vehicles may require a ‘Brake Pedal Position Sensor Calibration’ to ensure proper brake light operation and ABS performance. If you are not equipped to perform these resets, a professional mechanic can complete them for you.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do you need my VIN?
Your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) allows us to program the 2001 Yukon Body Control Module with the exact software and settings for your truck’s specific options, like drivetrain and security system. This ensures it works correctly right out of the box.
Is this a difficult part to install myself?
The physical replacement is straightforward for most DIYers. It involves removing a dash panel and swapping the module. The only complex part is the post-installation electronic resets (Airbag and Brake Pedal), which require a professional-grade scan tool.
Will this fix my truck’s no-start problem?
If your no-start issue is caused by the factory anti-theft system (Passlock) being triggered by a faulty BCM, then yes, this module will resolve the problem once installed and properly configured.
What happens if I don’t do the airbag light reset?
The airbag warning light will remain on, and more importantly, the supplemental restraint system (airbags) may not function correctly in the event of a collision. This is a critical safety step.
