Are you battling bizarre electrical problems in your 2001 Chevrolet Tahoe, Suburban, or GMC Yukon?

This replacement BCM is the definitive solution, arriving pre-programmed to your vehicle’s specific VIN with the latest GM software updates. This eliminates the need for expensive dealership programming, making it a direct-fit, plug-and-play repair.
Common Symptoms of a Failing BCM

- ✔ Interior or exterior lights staying on, not working, or flashing randomly.

- ✔ Inconsistent or non-working radio and climate controls.
- ✔ Warning lights appearing on the dashboard without a clear cause.
- ✔ Intermittent issues with windshield wipers and other accessories.
We had a 2001 Yukon XL come in that was draining its battery every two days. The owner had replaced the battery and alternator, but the problem persisted. After a quick check, we noticed the interior courtesy lights would never turn off, even with the doors closed. A quick scan pointed to an internal fault in the BCM. We swapped in a VIN-programmed module just like this one, and the problem was solved instantly. The customer was thrilled to have a reliable truck again without the constant worry of a dead battery.

Post-Installation Procedures
While this BCM is designed for a straightforward installation, some vehicles may require additional steps to sync with other onboard systems. 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: Some models may require a brake pedal position sensor recalibration to ensure correct brake light operation and traction control performance.
Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician if you are unsure about any part of the installation process.
