Restore Full Electrical Function to Your 2001 GM SUV
Are you battling bizarre electrical gremlins in your 2001 Chevrolet Tahoe, Suburban, or GMC Yukon? Flickering lights, malfunctioning power windows and locks, a security system that acts on its own, or a persistent battery drain are all 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 fails, it can cause a wide range of frustrating and difficult-to-diagnose issues. This replacement BCM, part number 9392994, is the definitive solution to restore your vehicle’s performance and reliability.
Symptoms of a Failing 2001 GM SUV BCM
If you’re experiencing any of the following, a faulty BCM is the likely culprit:
- ✔ Erratic or non-functional power windows, door locks, or mirrors.
- ✔ Interior or exterior lights that stay on, flicker, or don’t work at all.
- ✔ A security system that engages randomly or prevents the vehicle from starting.
- ✔ The “Service Vehicle Soon” or other warning lights illuminated on the dash.
- ✔ Unexplained battery drain that leaves you with a dead battery.
- ✔ Gauges on the instrument cluster behaving erratically or not working.

Post-Installation Information
While this module is programmed for a straightforward installation, some vehicle systems may require a recalibration procedure after the BCM is connected. This is a normal part of the process.
- Airbag System Sync: In some cases, the airbag warning light may illuminate after installation. This indicates the new BCM needs to be synced with the airbag’s SDM module. A professional scan tool with the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ function is required to perform this sync.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: To ensure proper brake light and traction control operation, a brake pedal position sensor relearn might be necessary.
- No Core Charge: You are not required to return your old, faulty module. Keep it, or dispose of it at your convenience.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the BCM actually do on my 2001 GM SUV?
The Body Control Module (BCM) acts as the brain for your vehicle’s electronic accessories. It controls functions like power windows, power locks, interior and exterior lighting, the alarm system, and even communicates with other modules to ensure everything works together correctly.
How do I provide my VIN for programming?
After you complete your purchase, you will receive instructions on how to send us your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN. We cannot ship your order until we receive this information, as the programming is essential for the part to work in your vehicle.
Is this a difficult part to install?
The BCM is typically located under the driver’s side of the dashboard. Physically replacing it involves disconnecting the battery and swapping the module, which is manageable for a DIYer with basic tools. However, please be aware that post-installation procedures like the airbag sync may require a professional-grade scan tool.
Will this fix my check engine light?
A BCM typically does not control engine functions, so it is unlikely to resolve a check engine light. The BCM addresses issues with body electronics, lights, and accessories. If you have a check engine light, you should have the codes read to diagnose the powertrain issue separately.
What if my airbag light is on after I install the BCM?
This is a known possibility. It means the new BCM and the existing Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM) for the airbags need to be electronically introduced. The ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure must be performed with a compatible diagnostic tool to resolve this.
