Restore Full Electrical Function to Your GM Truck or SUV
Are you battling frustrating electrical gremlins in your 2001 GM truck or SUV? Intermittent power windows, flickering dash lights, a security system that acts up, or even a no-start condition 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 malfunctions, it can cause a wide range of confusing and unpredictable problems. This replacement BCM is the definitive solution, arriving pre-programmed to your vehicle’s specific VIN for a straightforward installation.
By ordering this part, you bypass the need for expensive dealership programming and complex diagnostic tools. We handle the critical software flashing process before we ship, loading the latest GM updates for optimal performance and reliability. Simply provide your VIN, and we’ll deliver a BCM that’s ready to restore order to your vehicle’s electrical systems.
Common Symptoms of a Failing BCM
- ✔ Erratic or non-functional power windows, door locks, and interior lights.
- ✔ The security or anti-theft light stays on, preventing the engine from starting.
- ✔ Instrument cluster gauges behaving abnormally or not working at all.
- ✔ Radio or climate control systems turning on and off by themselves.
- ✔ A persistent battery drain that kills the battery overnight (parasitic draw).
- ✔ Communication errors with other vehicle modules (DTC U-codes).

Installation and Post-Install Notes
Installation is typically straightforward, involving disconnecting the battery and swapping the old module (located under the driver’s side dash) with this new one. However, on these specific GM platforms, a couple of post-installation procedures may be required:
- Airbag System Sync: If your airbag warning light illuminates after installation, a simple ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure is needed. This syncs the new BCM with the airbag system and can be performed by any shop with a professional-grade diagnostic tool.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: In some cases, a brake pedal position sensor relearn may be necessary to ensure correct brake light operation and traction control functionality.
This BCM is a direct replacement for the following part numbers: 09375899, 9392990, 09370249, 19180223
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a BCM and what does it do?
The Body Control Module (BCM) is a computer in your vehicle that manages and controls various electronic accessories, such as power windows, locks, lights, the security system, and the instrument panel. It acts as a central hub for these functions.
How do I know for sure that my BCM is the problem?
While the symptoms listed are strong indicators, a definitive diagnosis often requires a professional scan tool to check for communication errors (U-codes) or specific BCM-related fault codes. If multiple, unrelated electrical systems are failing at once, the BCM is the most likely cause.
Where do I provide my VIN for programming?
After you complete your purchase, we will contact you for your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN. We cannot program and ship the module without it, so please ensure your contact information is accurate.
Is this part difficult to install myself?
For someone with basic mechanical skills, the physical swap is not difficult. The BCM is typically located under the driver’s side of the dashboard. The main challenge can be the potential need for post-install relearn procedures, which may require a scan tool.
What if the airbag light is on after I install it?
This is a known possibility. It means the new BCM needs to be electronically ‘introduced’ to the airbag module (SDM). A repair shop with a professional scan tool can perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure in a few minutes to resolve this.
Do I need to send my old BCM back?
No, there is no core charge for this part. You can keep your original module.
