Expert Insight: The Brain of Your Truck’s Cabin
Think of the BCM as the foreman for all the electronic comfort and convenience features in your truck.

When it starts to fail, it gives confusing orders, causing those bizarre issues that are so hard to diagnose.

Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly does the BCM do?
The Body Control Module (BCM) is a computer that controls and monitors many of your vehicle’s non-engine-related functions. This includes power windows, power locks, the security system, interior and exterior lighting, wipers, and the instrument panel gauges.
Is this module difficult to install?
The physical installation is straightforward for someone with basic mechanical skills. The BCM is typically located under the driver’s side of the dashboard. Since we pre-program the module to your VIN, you avoid the most difficult step: the complex programming that usually requires a dealership. Simply disconnect the battery, swap the module, and reconnect the battery.
Will I need to perform any procedures after installation?
In some cases, yes. If your airbag light comes on, a professional scan tool is needed to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure to sync the systems. Additionally, a Brake Pedal Position Relearn may be necessary. These are standard procedures when replacing a 2001 Silverado 2500 BCM and ensure all safety systems function correctly.
How do I provide my Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)?
After you complete your purchase, simply send us a message with your 17-digit VIN. We cannot ship your order until we receive this information, as the programming is specific to your exact vehicle.
What happens if I don’t do the airbag sync procedure?
If the airbag warning light is on after installation, it indicates the new BCM is not yet synchronized with the airbag system’s Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM). The airbag system may not function correctly in a collision until this procedure is completed and the light is off.
How can I be sure this fits my truck?
This module fits a wide range of 2001 GM trucks and SUVs, including the Silverado, Sierra, Tahoe, Yukon, and Suburban. The most important step is to match the part number on your original BCM to one of the compatible numbers listed: 09375899, 9392990, 09370249, or 19180223. Providing your VIN ensures we program it for your specific options.
