Is Your GM Truck or SUV Experiencing Strange Electrical Problems?
If your 2001 GMC Yukon, Tahoe, or Suburban is suffering from flickering lights, malfunctioning power windows or locks, a security system that acts up, or other bizarre electrical gremlins, a failing Body Control Module (BCM) is the most likely culprit. The BCM is the central command center for your vehicle’s body electronics. When it fails, it can cause a wide range of frustrating and difficult-to-diagnose issues. This replacement BCM is the definitive solution to restore full functionality and reliability to your vehicle.
From the Diagnostic Bay
We had a 2001 Chevy Tahoe in the shop that was driving the owner crazy. The interior dome lights would randomly turn on and stay on, draining the battery overnight. He’d already replaced the battery twice. After checking door jamb switches and wiring, we pinpointed the issue to an internal fault in the BCM. After installing one of our pre-programmed modules, the problem was solved instantly. The customer was thrilled to have his reliable truck back without worrying about a dead battery every morning.
Common Symptoms of a Failing BCM
- ✔ Erratic or non-working interior and exterior lights.
- ✔ Power windows, door locks, or mirrors functioning intermittently or not at all.
- ✔ The security system or keyless entry failing to work correctly.
- ✔ Horn honking unexpectedly or not working when pressed.
- ✔ Inaccurate or dead gauges on the instrument cluster.
- ✔ “Service Vehicle Soon” or other warning lights illuminated on the dash.
- ✔ Communication errors when trying to scan the vehicle with a diagnostic tool.
Installation and Setup for Your 2001 Yukon BCM
Replacing the BCM in your GM truck doesn’t have to mean an expensive trip to the dealership. We make the process simple. This module is a direct-fit replacement for part numbers 19208540, 9370249, and 9392994. The best part? We pre-program the module to your vehicle’s specific Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) before it ever leaves our facility. This ensures it communicates correctly with your truck’s other computers right out of the box, saving you hundreds in programming fees.
After placing your order, simply provide us with your VIN. We’ll flash the module with the latest software from GM, package it securely, and ship it directly to you. Installation is straightforward, and there is no core charge, so you can keep your original module.
In some cases, minor post-installation procedures may be required:
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag light is on after installation, a simple ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure with a capable scan tool will sync the systems.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: A brake pedal position sensor recalibration may be needed to ensure correct brake light and traction control operation.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to program this 2001 Yukon BCM?
No. We handle all the programming for you before we ship the part. It will arrive ready to be installed in your vehicle. All we need is your VIN.
How do I provide my vehicle’s VIN?
You can add your VIN to the notes section during checkout, or we will contact you via email after your purchase to request it. We cannot ship the module until it has been programmed.
Is this a plug-and-play part?
For the most part, yes. Because it’s pre-programmed, it will work immediately upon installation. However, as with any BCM replacement, minor relearn procedures for the airbag or brake pedal position sensor may be required, as noted in the description.
What if my airbag light comes on after I install it?
This can happen occasionally. It simply means the new BCM needs to be electronically introduced to the airbag system’s computer (SDM). A qualified technician with a professional scan tool can perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure to resolve this.
Which part numbers does this BCM replace?
This module is a direct replacement for the following GM part numbers: 19208540, 9370249, 9392994, 09370249, and 09392994.
