Is Your 2001 GM SUV Experiencing Strange Electrical Problems?
If your 2001 Chevrolet Tahoe, Suburban, or GMC Yukon is suffering from flickering lights, malfunctioning power windows and locks, or a security system that acts on its own, a failing Body Control Module (BCM) is the most likely culprit. The BCM is the central nervous system for your vehicle’s body electronics, and when it starts to fail, it can cause a wide range of frustrating and unpredictable issues. Don’t let these problems sideline your reliable truck. We have the direct, plug-and-play solution.
The Simple, Reliable Solution: A VIN-Programmed BCM
This Body Control Module is a direct replacement for your original unit. The critical difference is that we handle the programming for you. Before we ship the part, we will flash it with the latest official GM software, specifically matched to your vehicle’s unique Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). This means no expensive trips to the dealership for programming. It arrives at your door ready for installation, saving you time, money, and hassle.
From the Diagnostic Bay
We had a 2001 Yukon XL come into the shop with a list of bizarre symptoms the owner couldn’t pin down. The radio would turn on by itself, the dome lights would stay on, and the power locks would cycle randomly while driving. The owner had already replaced the battery and checked all the fuses. After a quick scan, we saw multiple communication errors pointing to the BCM. We installed a VIN-programmed module just like this one, and within an hour, every single electrical gremlin was gone. The owner was thrilled to have his truck back to normal without a complicated and expensive diagnostic hunt.
Common Failure Symptoms
- ✔ Erratic or non-functional power windows and door locks.
- ✔ Interior or exterior lights that won’t turn on or off.
- ✔ The security system engaging randomly or preventing the vehicle from starting.
- ✔ Instrument panel warning lights illuminating without cause.
- ✔ Intermittent function of the radio, wipers, or climate controls.
- ✔ A “Service Vehicle Soon” message on the dash.

Important Post-Installation Information
While this module is delivered ready for installation, some vehicles may require additional steps to ensure all systems communicate correctly. Please be aware of the following potential procedures:
- 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: On some models, a brake pedal position sensor recalibration might be necessary to ensure correct brake light and traction control operation.
Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician for vehicle-specific guidance.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to program this BCM?
No. We program the module to your vehicle’s VIN before shipping it to you. It arrives ready for installation.
How do I provide my VIN?
After you complete your purchase, you will need to send us your 17-digit VIN. We cannot ship the module until we have this information to perform the programming.
What tools are needed for the installation?
Installation typically requires basic hand tools to access the module, which is located under the driver’s side of the dashboard. In some cases, a professional scan tool may be needed for post-installation procedures like an airbag system sync.
My part number is slightly different. Will this still work?
This module is a direct replacement for part numbers 19208540, 9370249, 9392994, 09370249, and 09392994. As long as your original module has one of these numbers, it will fit and function correctly.
What if my airbag light comes on after I install it?
This is a known possibility. It means the new BCM needs to be synchronized with the airbag system’s Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM). This requires a professional scan tool to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure.
Do I have to return my old BCM?
No. There is no core charge for this part. You can keep your original module.
