Restore Full Electrical Function to Your 2001 GM Truck or SUV
Are you battling frustrating electrical problems in your 2001 Sierra, Silverado, Tahoe, or Yukon? Issues like flickering dash lights, unresponsive power windows and locks, or a persistent security light are common signs of a failing Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM acts as the central command center for your vehicle’s body electronics, and when it fails, it can cause a wide range of confusing and unpredictable symptoms. This replacement Body Control Module is the definitive solution, arriving pre-programmed to your vehicle’s specific VIN for a straightforward installation.
Common Symptoms of a Failing BCM
- ✔ Erratic or non-functional power windows, mirrors, and door locks.
- ✔ Instrument cluster lights flickering, gauges behaving oddly, or warning lights staying on (like the ‘Security’ light).
- ✔ Interior or exterior lights (headlights, taillights, dome light) not working correctly.
- ✔ The vehicle’s security system preventing the engine from starting.
- ✔ No communication with the BCM when using a diagnostic scan tool.
- ✔ Inconsistent A/C and heater blower motor operation.

Installation and Post-Install Information
This module is located on the driver’s side, under the dashboard. While installation is typically plug-and-play, some vehicles may require additional steps after the new BCM is connected. Please be aware of the following potential procedures:
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is illuminated after installation, a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure must be performed with a professional scan tool to sync the airbag system.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: A recalibration of the brake pedal position sensor may be needed on some models to ensure correct brake light and traction control functionality.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to program this BCM?
No. We handle all the programming for you before shipment. Just provide your vehicle’s VIN during or after checkout, and the module will arrive ready to install with the latest GM software for your specific vehicle.
What does the Body Control Module do?
The BCM is a computer that manages and controls many of your vehicle’s non-engine related electronic functions, such as power windows, locks, lights, security system, wipers, and instrument panel warnings.
Where is the BCM located on my 2001 truck?
On most 2001 GM trucks and SUVs like the Sierra and Silverado, the BCM is located under the driver’s side of the dashboard, typically to the left of the steering column.
What if my airbag light comes on after I install it?
This can happen occasionally. It means the new BCM needs to be electronically introduced to the airbag system’s computer (SDM). This requires a professional scan tool to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure.
Is this a difficult part to replace myself?
The physical replacement is straightforward for someone with basic mechanical skills. However, because some vehicles may require post-installation procedures with a professional scan tool, we recommend consulting a service manual or a qualified technician if you are unsure.
