Is Your 2001 GM Truck or SUV Experiencing Strange Electrical Problems?
If you’re dealing with flickering lights, malfunctioning power windows or locks, or a security system that acts up, a failing Body Control Module (BCM) is the likely culprit. The BCM is the central computer for your vehicle’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 09370249, is the definitive solution to restore your vehicle’s proper function and reliability.
Common Symptoms of a Failing BCM
- ✔ Erratic or non-functional power windows, door locks, and mirrors.
- ✔ Interior or exterior lights staying on, flickering, or not working at all.

- ✔ Horn honking unexpectedly or not working when pressed.
- ✔ Inaccurate or dead gauges on the instrument cluster.

Post-Installation Procedures
While this module is designed for easy installation, some vehicles may require a simple relearn procedure. These are standard steps after replacing a BCM and can often be performed by a local mechanic if you are not equipped to do so yourself.
- Airbag System Sync: If your airbag warning light is on after installation, a technician will need to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure with a professional diagnostic tool. This syncs the new BCM with your vehicle’s existing safety systems.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: On some models, a brake pedal position sensor recalibration may be needed to ensure your brake lights and traction control system function correctly.
Specific procedures can vary by vehicle. Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician for guidance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do you need my VIN?
Your VIN is essential for us to program the BCM with the exact software and settings for your vehicle’s specific options and features. This ensures it works correctly right out of the box.
Is this part difficult to install?
The physical installation is typically straightforward. The BCM is located under the driver’s side of the dashboard. Basic hand tools are all that’s required to swap the module. However, be aware that post-installation relearn procedures may be necessary as noted in the description.
What happens if the 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. A qualified mechanic with a professional-grade scan tool can perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure to resolve this.
Will this fix my no-start problem?
If your no-start issue is caused by the factory anti-theft system (VATS/Passlock) and you see a ‘Security’ light, a faulty BCM is a very common cause. This pre-programmed module is designed to resolve that specific issue.
Do I need to return my old BCM?
No. There is no core charge for this part. You can keep your original module.
Will this fit my 2001 GMC Yukon?
Yes, this BCM fits the 2001 GMC Yukon, Yukon XL, Chevrolet Tahoe, and Suburban models as listed in the fitment guide. Providing your VIN ensures we program it perfectly for your specific model.
