Are you battling frustrating electrical gremlins in your 2001 GM truck or SUV? Flickering lights, unresponsive power windows and locks, or a security system that prevents your vehicle from starting 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 confusing and intermittent issues. This replacement Body Control Module, part number 09375899, is the definitive solution to restore full functionality and reliability to your vehicle.
What sets our BCM apart is our complimentary VIN programming service. Before we ship your part, we flash it with the latest official GM software updates, specifically matched to your vehicle’s Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). This means you receive a module that is ready for installation right out of the box, saving you the time, cost, and hassle of a trip to the dealership for expensive programming. There is no core charge, so you can keep your original module.
Is a Failing BCM Causing Your Problems?
A faulty BCM can manifest in numerous ways. If you’re experiencing any of the following, a replacement module is likely the solution you need.
- ✔ Power windows, door locks, or mirrors not working or operating erratically.
- ✔ Interior or exterior lights (headlights, dome lights, dash lights) staying on or not turning on at all.
- ✔ The security or anti-theft light is illuminated, preventing the engine from starting.
- ✔ The horn honks unexpectedly or doesn’t work.
- ✔ Wipers behaving erratically or not functioning.
- ✔ False warnings appearing on the driver information center.

Installation and Post-Install Procedures
The BCM is typically located on the left-hand (driver’s) side of the dashboard. While the physical swap is straightforward, please be aware of potential post-installation steps. In some cases, additional synchronization or ‘relearn’ procedures may be required to ensure all systems function correctly with the new module.
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is on 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: To ensure correct brake light and traction control operation, a brake pedal position sensor recalibration might be necessary.
Disclaimer: Specific procedures can vary by vehicle. Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician for guidance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to have this BCM programmed by a dealer?
No. We handle all the programming for you before shipping. Simply provide us with your vehicle’s VIN during or after checkout, and we will flash the module with the latest GM software specific to your truck.
What is a BCM and what does it do?
The Body Control Module (BCM) is a computer in your vehicle that controls and monitors most of the non-engine related electronic functions, such as power windows, locks, lights, wipers, and the security system.
Is this a simple plug-and-play installation?
For the most part, yes. You disconnect the old BCM and connect the new one. However, as noted above, some vehicles may require a simple ‘relearn’ or ‘sync’ procedure for the airbag or brake systems, which may require a professional scan tool.
How do I give you my VIN?
After you complete your purchase, you can send us a message with your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). We cannot ship the module until we have this information to program it correctly.
My original part number is 9392990. Will this part work?
Yes. This module is a direct replacement for multiple part numbers, including 09375899, 9392990, 09370249, and 19180223. As long as your vehicle is on the fitment list, this part will work correctly.
What if I install it and still have problems?
While this BCM will resolve any issues caused by a faulty module, it’s important to ensure the BCM was the root cause of the problem. Always perform a thorough diagnosis. If you have any questions during installation, we recommend consulting a qualified automotive technician.
