Is your 2001 GM truck or SUV experiencing bizarre electrical problems?
If you’re dealing with flickering lights, malfunctioning power windows or locks, a persistent security light, or a battery that mysteriously drains overnight, the culprit is often a failing Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM is the central command center for your vehicle’s body electronics, and when it starts to fail, it can cause a wide range of frustrating and difficult-to-diagnose issues. Don’t let electrical gremlins sideline your reliable truck. This pre-programmed BCM is the definitive solution to restore full functionality and peace of mind.
Common Symptoms of a Failing BCM
- ✔ Erratic or non-functional power windows, door locks, and mirrors.
- ✔ Interior or exterior lights staying on or not working at all.
- ✔ The security or anti-theft light staying illuminated, potentially causing a no-start condition.
- ✔ Intermittent operation of the radio or climate controls.
- ✔ False warning messages on the instrument cluster.
- ✔ Unexplained parasitic battery drain leading to a dead battery.
- ✔ Horn honking unexpectedly or not working when pressed.

Installation and Post-Install Information
Installation is straightforward for anyone with basic mechanical skills. The BCM is typically located under the driver’s side of the dashboard. Once installed, the module is designed to be plug-and-play. However, due to the complex nature of modern vehicle systems, a couple of additional steps may be required in specific situations:
- Airbag System Sync: If your 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 your vehicle’s airbag system.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: Some models may require a brake pedal position sensor recalibration to ensure correct brake light and traction control operation.
- No Core Charge: You are not required to return your old module. Keep it, dispose of it, the choice is yours!
Frequently Asked Questions
What does a Body Control Module (BCM) do?
The BCM is a computer in your vehicle that controls and monitors various electronic accessories not related to the engine, such as power windows, locks, lights, wipers, security system, and climate controls.
Why is VIN programming so important?
VIN programming loads your vehicle’s specific software and options into the module. This ensures all features your truck came with from the factory work correctly without any additional dealer programming, saving you time and money.
Is this part difficult to install?
For most DIYers, the physical installation is simple. It involves locating the module under the dash, disconnecting the battery, and swapping the electrical connectors. The main benefit of our service is that the complex programming is already done 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.
My airbag light came on after I installed the new BCM. Is it defective?
No, this is a normal possibility. The new BCM needs to be electronically introduced to the airbag system (SDM). A technician with a high-level diagnostic tool can perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure to sync the modules and turn off the light.
Will this fit my 2001 Chevy Tahoe?
Yes, this module fits the 2001 Tahoe, but please verify your original module has the ID 9392990, as specified in the fitment list. This ensures perfect compatibility.
