Restore Your Truck’s Electrical Functions
Are you battling bizarre electrical issues in your 2001 GM truck? Problems like flickering lights, malfunctioning power windows and locks, or a security system that acts up on its own are classic signs of 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 problems. This pre-programmed BCM is the definitive solution to restore your truck’s functionality and peace of mind.
Common Symptoms of a Failing 2001 GM BCM
- ✔ Erratic or non-functional power windows and door locks.
- ✔ Interior or exterior lights that won’t turn on or off.
- ✔ The security or anti-theft system preventing the truck from starting.
- ✔ Horn honking unexpectedly or not working at all.
- ✔ Wipers behaving erratically or not parking in the correct position.
- ✔ ‘Service 4WD’ or other warning messages on the dash with no mechanical cause.
- ✔ Communication loss with other vehicle modules, leading to multiple system failures.

Installation & Post-Installation Requirements
Physically replacing the BCM, located on the driver’s side of the dashboard, is straightforward for most DIY mechanics. However, after installation, some vehicles may require additional electronic ‘relearn’ procedures. Please note the following:
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is illuminated after installation, a professional scan tool is needed to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure. This syncs the new BCM with the airbag system.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: In some cases, a brake pedal position sensor recalibration may be necessary to ensure correct brake light operation and traction control functionality.
- No Core Charge: You are not required to return your old BCM. There is no core charge associated with this purchase.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to program this BCM?
No. We handle the programming for you before shipment. Simply provide your vehicle’s VIN during or after checkout, and it will arrive ready to be installed.
What does the Body Control Module do?
The BCM is a computer that manages and controls your vehicle’s non-engine related electronic systems, such as power windows, locks, lights, wipers, security system, and more.
Where is the BCM located on my 2001 Silverado?
The BCM is typically located under the driver’s side of the dashboard, to the left of the steering column.
What if my airbag light comes on after I install it?
This indicates the new BCM needs to be electronically synced with the airbag’s Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM). This requires a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key’ procedure with a professional-grade diagnostic tool.
