Problems like erratic power windows, malfunctioning door locks, a faulty security system, or strange instrument cluster behavior often point to a failing Body Control Module (BCM).

Post-Installation Information
While this module is designed for a simple installation, some vehicles may require minor post-installation procedures for full system integration:
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is illuminated after installation, a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure must be performed with a professional scan tool to sync the BCM with the airbag system.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: On some models, a brake pedal position sensor recalibration may be needed to ensure proper brake light and traction control operation.
Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician if you are unsure about any installation steps.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a BCM do on a 2001 Silverado?
The Body Control Module (BCM) acts as the brain for your truck’s non-engine related electronics. It controls functions like power windows, door locks, interior lighting, the security system, and the instrument cluster.
Is this BCM ready to install when I receive it?
Yes, this module comes pre-programmed to your vehicle’s VIN. Simply provide your VIN at checkout. In most cases, it’s a plug-and-play installation, though some vehicles may require minor additional procedures as detailed in the description.
How do I provide my vehicle’s VIN?
After you complete your purchase, you will need to send us your 17-digit VIN. We cannot program and ship the module without it. Instructions will be provided in your order confirmation.
Do I need to return my old BCM?
No, there is no core charge for this part. You can keep your original module.
What if my airbag light is on after installing the new BCM?
This can happen occasionally. It means the new BCM needs to be synced with the airbag module (SDM). A mechanic with a professional diagnostic tool will need to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure to resolve this.
Will this BCM fix my power window and lock problems?
If the BCM is the root cause of the failure, then yes. A faulty BCM is the most common reason for multiple electrical components like windows, locks, and lights failing simultaneously on these GM trucks.
