Are you battling bizarre electrical problems in your 2001 GM truck? Flickering lights, unresponsive power windows, a security system that acts up, or gauges that have a mind of their own are all classic signs of a failing Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM is the central command center for your truck’s body electronics, and when it fails, it can cause a cascade of frustrating issues. This replacement BCM is the definitive solution to restore full functionality and reliability to your vehicle.
Common Symptoms of a Failing BCM

- ✔ Instrument cluster gauges behaving erratically or not working at all.

Installation Notes
While this module is designed for a straightforward installation, some vehicles may require additional steps after the part is installed. Please be aware of the following potential procedures:
- Airbag System Sync: If your airbag warning light illuminates after installation, a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure is necessary. This requires a professional-grade scan tool to sync the new BCM with the airbag system.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: On some models, a brake pedal position sensor recalibration may be needed to ensure proper operation of the brake lights and traction control system.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does a Body Control Module do?
The BCM is a computer that manages and controls many of your vehicle’s non-engine related functions, such as power windows, locks, lights, wipers, security system, and instrument panel gauges.
How do I provide my VIN for programming?
After you complete your purchase, you will receive instructions on how to send us your 17-digit VIN. We cannot ship your part until we receive this information, as the programming is essential for the module to work correctly in your truck.
Is this part difficult to install?
The BCM is typically located under the driver’s side of the dashboard. Physical installation involves disconnecting the battery and swapping the module.
