Restore Full Electrical Control to Your GM Truck or SUV
Are you battling frustrating electrical problems in your 2001 GM truck or SUV? Flickering lights, unresponsive power windows, erratic door locks, or a security system that acts up on its own are all 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 fails, it can cause a wide range of confusing and intermittent issues. This direct-fit Body Control Module, part number 09370249, is the definitive solution to restore your vehicle’s electronic systems to perfect working order.
Common Symptoms of a Failing BCM

- ✔ Keyless entry remote not working correctly.
- ✔ Vehicle security system engaging randomly or causing no-start conditions.

Installation and Required Procedures
This BCM is located on the left-hand (driver’s) side of the dashboard and is designed for a straightforward installation. While the process is plug-and-play, some vehicles may require simple post-installation procedures to ensure all systems communicate correctly.
- 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 diagnostic tool. This syncs the new BCM with the airbag system.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: On some models, a brake pedal position sensor recalibration may be necessary to ensure proper brake light operation and traction control system performance.
Please consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician for vehicle-specific instructions.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Body Control Module do?
The BCM acts as the central computer for your vehicle’s body electronics. It controls non-engine related functions like power windows, locks, lights, wipers, security system, and interior accessories.
How does the VIN programming work?
After you place your order, you provide us with your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN. We use this number to access the latest GM software for your specific model and options, and we flash this software onto the module before shipping it to you.
Is this part difficult to install?
For someone with basic mechanical skills, the installation is generally straightforward. The BCM is typically located under the driver’s side dashboard. However, some post-installation relearn procedures may require a diagnostic scan tool.
Do I need to send my old BCM back?
No. There is no core charge for this part. You can keep your original module.
What if my airbag light comes on after I install it?
This is a known possibility. It means the new BCM needs to be electronically introduced to the airbag system (SDM). A procedure called ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ will need to be performed by a shop with a capable diagnostic tool to resolve this.
Will this fit my 2001 GMC Sierra 2500?
Yes, this BCM is compatible with the 2001 GMC Sierra 2500, as well as a wide range of other GM trucks and SUVs from that model year. It replaces multiple part numbers to cover broad fitment.
