Is Your 2001 GM Truck or SUV Experiencing Bizarre Electrical Problems?
If your 2001 Yukon, Tahoe, Silverado, or Sierra is suffering from flickering lights, malfunctioning power windows and locks, or a security system that has a mind of its own, a failing Body Control Module (BCM) is the most likely culprit. The BCM acts as the central command center for your vehicle’s body electronics. When it fails, it can cause a cascade of frustrating and seemingly unrelated issues. Don’t let a faulty module sideline your truck. This direct-fit, VIN-programmed BCM is the reliable and straightforward solution to restore full functionality to your vehicle.
Common Symptoms of a Failing BCM
- ✔ Erratic or non-functional power windows, door locks, and mirrors.
- ✔ Interior or exterior lights that won’t turn on or off.
- ✔ The security system or alarm randomly activating or not working at all.
- ✔ Intermittent operation of the radio or instrument cluster gauges.
- ✔ False warning lights on the dashboard, such as the airbag light.
- ✔ Inability to communicate with the module using a diagnostic scan tool.

Installation and Post-Install Procedures
Installation is typically straightforward, involving locating the old module under the driver’s side dash, disconnecting the battery, swapping the electrical connectors, and mounting the new unit. However, on these vehicles, some additional steps may be required after the new module is installed:
- 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: In some cases, a brake pedal position sensor relearn may be necessary to ensure correct brake light operation and traction control performance.
Please Note: Specific procedures can vary by vehicle. Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician for guidance.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a BCM and what does it do?
The Body Control Module (BCM) is a computer in your vehicle that manages and controls electronic accessories like power windows, locks, interior/exterior lighting, security systems, and wipers.
Is this BCM difficult to install?
The physical replacement is generally simple for someone with basic mechanical skills, as it’s typically located under the driver’s side dashboard. However, please be aware of the potential post-installation procedures like the airbag sync that may require a professional scan tool.
Do I need to program this module?
No. This BCM comes pre-programmed to your vehicle’s specific VIN before we ship it. This eliminates the need for you to take it to a dealer for programming, saving you time and money.
What information do you need from me?
After you complete your purchase, you will need to provide us with your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). We cannot program and ship the module without it.
What happens if my airbag light comes on after installation?
This can happen because the new BCM needs to be electronically introduced to the airbag system (SDM). A technician with a high-level diagnostic tool will need to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure to resolve this.
Will this fit my 2001 Silverado if my original part number is 9392990?
Yes. This module, part number 9375899, is a direct replacement for several part numbers, including 9392990. As long as your vehicle is a 2001 GM truck or SUV listed in the fitment chart, this part will work correctly.
