Is Your 2001 GM Truck Experiencing Electrical Gremlins?
If you’re dealing with flickering lights, unresponsive power windows or door locks, or a security system that has a mind of its own, a failing Body Control Module (BCM) is the likely culprit. The BCM is the central command center for your truck’s body electronics, and when it fails, it can cause a wide range of frustrating and unpredictable issues. This replacement Body Control Module, part number 19180223, is the definitive solution to restore full functionality to your vehicle.
Common Symptoms of a Failing BCM
- ✔ Erratic or non-functional power windows and door locks.
- ✔ Interior dome lights or exterior lights staying on or not turning on at all.
- ✔ The security light flashing, preventing the truck from starting.
- ✔ Horn honking unexpectedly or not working when pressed.
- ✔ Wipers operating incorrectly or activating randomly.
- ✔ False warnings on the instrument cluster.

Important Post-Installation Information
While this module is designed for a simple installation, some vehicles may require additional steps to ensure all systems communicate correctly:
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is illuminated after installation, a procedure called ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ must be performed with a professional-grade scan tool. This syncs the new BCM with the airbag system.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: On some models, a brake pedal position sensor recalibration might be necessary to ensure correct brake light operation and traction control performance.
Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician if you are unsure about any part of the installation process.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to get this BCM programmed by a dealer?
No. We program the module to your vehicle’s VIN before shipping 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 will receive instructions on how to send us your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN. We cannot ship your order until we receive this information.
Where is the BCM located on my 2001 Silverado or Sierra?
The Body Control Module is typically located on the driver’s side, under the dashboard to the left of the steering column.
What if my airbag light turns on after I install the new BCM?
This indicates the BCM needs to be synced with the airbag system’s Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM). A mechanic with a professional scan tool will need to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure to resolve this.
Is there a core charge for this part?
No, there is no core charge. You can keep your original module.
Will this fix my power window and lock problems?
If the BCM is the source of the failure, then yes. The BCM directly controls these functions, and replacing a faulty unit is the correct repair for restoring their operation.
