Restore Your Truck’s Electrical Functions
Are you battling frustrating electrical gremlins in your 2001 GM truck or SUV? Flickering lights, malfunctioning power windows, a dead radio, or a security light that won’t turn off 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 unpredictable problems. This pre-programmed BCM is the definitive solution to restore your vehicle’s factory functions and get you back on the road with confidence.
Common Symptoms of a Failing BCM

- ✔ Horn sounding randomly or not at all
- ✔ Security system issues, including no-start conditions
- ✔ Gauges on the instrument cluster behaving erratically

Installation and Post-Install Procedures
Installation is straightforward for most DIY mechanics. The BCM is typically located on the left-hand side of the dashboard. After swapping the module, some vehicles may require additional steps to ensure all systems are synchronized:
- 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 may be necessary for correct brake light and traction control operation.
There is no core charge for this part. You can keep your original module.
