Restore Full Functionality to Your GM Truck or SUV
Are you battling frustrating electrical gremlins in your 2001 GM truck? Issues like erratic power windows, flickering dash lights, or a malfunctioning security system often point to a single culprit: a failing Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM is the central command center for your vehicle’s body electronics. When it fails, it can cause a cascade of confusing and unpredictable problems. This replacement BCM, part number 09370249, is the definitive solution to restore your vehicle’s electronic systems to factory-perfect operation.
Common Symptoms of a Failing BCM
- ✔ Erratic or non-functional power windows, door locks, and mirrors.
- ✔ Interior or exterior lights that won’t turn on or off.
- ✔ Instrument cluster gauges behaving erratically or not working at all.
- ✔ The security or anti-theft system (Passlock) preventing the truck from starting.
- ✔ Horn honking unexpectedly or not working with the key fob.
- ✔ False warning lights on the dashboard, such as the “Service Vehicle Soon” indicator.
- ✔ Complete loss of communication with diagnostic scan tools.
The Simple, Programmed Solution for Your 2001 Silverado BCM
Forget expensive dealership visits and programming fees. We take the hassle out of the repair. When you purchase this module, we will flash it with the latest GM software updates and program it specifically to your vehicle’s Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). This ensures it works seamlessly with your truck’s existing systems right out of the box. All you need to do is provide us with your VIN after checkout, and we handle the rest. This is a direct-fit replacement, making installation straightforward for a DIY mechanic or any professional technician.
Post-Installation Procedures
While this module is pre-programmed for your vehicle, some GM models may require simple relearn procedures after installation to ensure all systems communicate correctly. These are not always necessary but are good to be aware of:
- 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 capable scan tool. This syncs the new BCM with the airbag system.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: In some cases, a brake pedal position sensor recalibration may be needed to ensure correct brake light operation and to satisfy the traction control system.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to have this BCM programmed by a dealer?
No. We program the module to your vehicle’s VIN before we ship it to you. It arrives ready for installation, saving you time and money.
How do I provide my VIN?
After you complete your purchase, you can send us a message with your 17-digit VIN. We will confirm receipt before programming and shipping your part.
Where is the BCM located on a 2001 Silverado?
The Body Control Module is typically located inside the cabin, under the driver’s side of the dashboard, to the left of the steering column.
Why is my airbag light on after installing the new BCM?
This can happen because the new BCM needs to be electronically ‘introduced’ to the airbag’s Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM). A professional scan tool is required to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure to sync the modules and turn off the light.
Is this a plug-and-play installation?
For the most part, yes. You disconnect the old module and connect the new one. However, as noted, some vehicles may require additional relearn procedures for systems like the airbags or brake pedal sensor for 100% functionality.
Is there a core charge for this part?
No, there is no core charge. You can keep your original module.
