Are you battling frustrating electrical gremlins in your 2001 GM truck or SUV? Intermittent power windows, flickering lights, or a security system that has a mind of its own are all classic signs of a failing Body Control Module (BCM).

This replacement Body Control Module is the definitive solution to restore full functionality and reliability to your vehicle.
This isn’t just a replacement part; it’s a complete, ready-to-install solution. Each module is professionally programmed with the latest GM software updates specifically to your vehicle’s VIN.

Common Symptoms of a Failing BCM

Important Post-Installation Information
While this module is programmed for your vehicle, some systems may require a ‘handshake’ procedure after installation. Please be aware of the following potential requirements:
- 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-grade diagnostic tool. This syncs the new BCM with your vehicle’s airbag system.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: On some models, a brake pedal position sensor recalibration may be needed 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 these procedures. Best of all, there is no core charge, so you can keep your original module.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the VIN programming process work?
After you complete your purchase, you will need to send us your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN. Our technicians use this number to load the correct GM software and vehicle-specific settings onto the BCM before we ship it to you.
Is this part truly plug-and-play?
For most functions, yes. It is pre-programmed to work with your vehicle’s main features. However, as noted, certain safety systems like the airbag (SRS) or brake position sensor may require a simple relearn procedure with a diagnostic tool to fully sync with the new module.
What happens if I install it without performing the relearn procedures?
Your vehicle will likely run, but you may have a persistent airbag warning light on your dash or issues with brake light/traction control functionality. We strongly recommend performing any necessary procedures for safety and full functionality.
Will this fix my specific electrical problem?
This module will correct any issues directly caused by a faulty BCM. If you’ve experienced several of the symptoms listed, the BCM is the most likely cause. However, proper vehicle diagnosis is always recommended to rule out other issues like bad wiring or faulty switches.
Do I need to send my old BCM back?
No. This product comes with no core charge. You can keep your original part.
