Restore Your Truck’s Electrical System with a VIN-Programmed BCM
Are you experiencing bizarre electrical issues in your 2001 GM truck or SUV? Flickering lights, malfunctioning power windows and locks, or a security system that has a mind of its own 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 cascade of frustrating problems. This replacement BCM, part number 9370249, is the definitive solution to restore full functionality and reliability to your vehicle.
Common Symptoms of a Failing BCM
- ✔ Erratic or non-functional interior and exterior lights (headlights, taillights, dome lights).
- ✔ Power windows, door locks, or mirrors not working correctly.
- ✔ The security system or keyless entry failing to operate.
- ✔ The horn sounding unexpectedly or not at all.
- ✔ Warning lights on the dashboard, including the airbag light.
- ✔ Intermittent issues with the radio or instrument cluster.
Why Choose Our Programmed 2001 Sierra BCM?
This isn’t just a replacement part; it’s a complete, plug-and-play solution. We take the guesswork out of the repair by pre-programming the module to your vehicle’s specific Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) before it ships. This ensures perfect compatibility with your truck’s existing systems and options. The module is loaded with the latest software updates from GM, often correcting factory bugs and improving performance. Simply provide your VIN during checkout, and we handle the rest.
Installation and Post-Install Procedures
The BCM is typically located on the driver’s side, under the dashboard. While installation is a direct replacement, some vehicles may require simple post-installation procedures. Please be aware of the following:
- Airbag System Sync: If the 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.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: On some models, a brake pedal position sensor recalibration may be necessary to ensure correct brake light and traction control operation.
We always recommend consulting a factory service manual or a qualified technician for specific guidance.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a Body Control Module (BCM) do?
The BCM is a computer that controls and monitors many of your vehicle’s non-engine-related electronic accessories, such as power windows, locks, lights, wipers, security system, and more.
Why do you need my VIN?
Your vehicle’s VIN allows us to program the BCM with the exact software and settings for your specific model, trim, and options. This ensures seamless integration and proper function of all features, just like the original part from the factory.
Is this part difficult to install?
The physical replacement is generally straightforward for someone with basic mechanical skills, as the BCM is usually accessible under the driver’s side dashboard. However, as noted, some post-installation electronic procedures may be required with a professional scan tool.
Will this fix my airbag light?
If the airbag light is on due to a fault within the old BCM, this new module can resolve the issue. However, after installation, the new BCM must be electronically synced with the airbag system (SDM) using a diagnostic tool to turn off the light.
Is this the correct part for my 2001 Silverado?
Yes, this BCM is compatible with the 2001 Silverado 1500, 2500, and 3500 models, as well as the Sierra, Tahoe, Yukon, and Suburban for the same year. It replaces multiple part numbers, including 9370249 and 9392990.
