Is Your 2001 GM Truck Experiencing Electrical Gremlins?
If you’re dealing with flickering lights, malfunctioning power windows or locks, a security light that won’t turn off, or other bizarre electrical issues in your 2001 GMC Sierra, Chevy Silverado, Tahoe, or Yukon, a failing Body Control Module (BCM) is the most likely culprit. The BCM is the central command center for your truck’s body electronics, and when it fails, it can cause a cascade of frustrating and seemingly unrelated problems. Don’t waste time and money replacing individual switches and relays. Get the direct-fit, reliable solution.
This Body Control Module is a guaranteed fix for your vehicle’s electronic woes. We take the guesswork out of the repair by pre-programming the module to your vehicle’s specific VIN before it ships. This ensures compatibility and a much simpler installation process. Simply provide your VIN after purchase, and we’ll load the latest GM software, making this module ready to install right out of the box.
From the Diagnostic Bay
We had a 2001 Silverado 2500 in the shop that was driving the owner crazy. The horn would go off randomly, the interior lights would stay on, and the power door locks had a mind of their own. He had already replaced the driver’s side master switch and a few relays with no luck. After a quick scan, we saw multiple communication codes pointing to the BCM. Instead of a complex diagnostic path, the root cause was a faulty module. Installing a VIN-programmed BCM like this one resolved all the issues in under an hour, saving the customer from further diagnostic headaches.
Common Symptoms of a Failing BCM
- ✔ Power windows, mirrors, or door locks working intermittently or not at all.
- ✔ Interior dome lights or exterior parking lights staying on or not turning on.
- ✔ The security or anti-theft light is illuminated on the dash, possibly causing a no-start condition.
- ✔ Gauges on the instrument cluster behaving erratically or not working.
- ✔ The horn or alarm sounding without reason.
- ✔ “Service Vehicle Soon” message displayed.
- ✔ Problems with the radio or climate control functions.
Installing Your 2001 Sierra 3500 BCM
Because this module is programmed to your VIN, the physical installation is straightforward. However, on these GM vehicles, some post-installation procedures may be necessary to ensure all systems communicate correctly. This is a normal part of replacing a major electronic module.
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is on after installation, a technician will need to perform the “Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM” procedure with a professional-grade scan tool. This syncs the new BCM with the airbag system.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: To ensure correct brake light operation and stability control performance, a brake pedal position sensor relearn may be required.
Please note: Specific procedures can vary by exact model and options. Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician for guidance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this BCM truly plug-and-play?
It is pre-programmed to your VIN for a simple installation. However, depending on your vehicle’s specific configuration, post-installation procedures like an airbag system sync or brake pedal position relearn may be required using a professional scan tool to ensure full functionality.
How do I provide my VIN?
After you complete your purchase, you will receive instructions on how to send us your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN. We must have your VIN to program the module before we can ship your order.
What if my original part number is different from 9370249?
No problem. This module is the correct service replacement for several part numbers, including 09375899, 9392990, and 19180223. As long as your vehicle is on the fitment list, this is the correct part for you.
Do I need to send my old BCM back?
No. There is no core charge for this part. You can keep your original module.
What tools are needed for installation?
You will need basic hand tools (like a socket set and screwdrivers) to access and replace the module, which is typically located under the driver’s side dashboard. A professional diagnostic tool may be required for the post-installation procedures mentioned above.
