Restore Full Functionality to Your GM Truck or SUV
Are you battling bizarre electrical problems in your 2002 GM truck or SUV? Flickering lights, unresponsive power windows, erratic door locks, 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 starts to fail, it can cause a cascade of frustrating and hard-to-diagnose issues. This replacement Body Control Module is the definitive solution, arriving pre-programmed to your vehicle’s specific VIN for a straightforward installation.
Common Symptoms of a Failing BCM
- ✔ Erratic or non-functional power windows and door locks
- ✔ Interior or exterior lights not working correctly
- ✔ The security or anti-theft light stays on, preventing the engine from starting
- ✔ Horn honking unexpectedly or not working at all
- ✔ Wipers behaving erratically or not parking in the correct position
- ✔ False warnings on the instrument cluster (e.g., ‘Door Ajar’)
The Plug-and-Play Solution for Your 2002 Suburban Body Control Module
Don’t waste time and money at a dealership for expensive diagnostics and programming fees. We take the guesswork out of the repair. Simply provide us with your vehicle’s VIN during checkout, and our technicians will program this module with the latest GM software specific to your truck. This ensures that all the original features your vehicle came with will work correctly right out of the box.

Installation and Post-Install Considerations
The BCM is typically located under the steering column and is accessible for a confident DIYer. While the module is programmed for a plug-and-play installation, some vehicles may require simple post-installation procedures. In some cases, if the airbag warning light appears, a professional scan tool is needed to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure. Additionally, a ‘Brake Pedal Position Relearn’ might be necessary to ensure proper brake light and traction control operation. These procedures are straightforward for any qualified technician. Best of all, there is no core charge, so you can keep your original part.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Body Control Module do?
The BCM is a computer that manages and controls many of your vehicle’s non-engine related electronic features, such as power windows, locks, interior lighting, security system, wipers, and more.
Do I need to have this part programmed by a dealer?
No. We program the module to your vehicle’s VIN before shipping it to you. This saves you a trip to the dealership and avoids their expensive programming fees, making for a much simpler installation.
What information do you need from me?
After you place your order, you will need to provide us with your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). This is essential for us to program the module correctly for your specific vehicle.
Where is the BCM located on my 2002 Suburban?
The BCM is typically located under the driver’s side of the dashboard, near the steering column. It’s a black plastic box with several large electrical connectors.
My airbag light came on after I installed the new BCM. Is it defective?
No, this can be a normal occurrence. The new BCM needs to be synced with the airbag system’s computer (SDM). A technician with a professional diagnostic tool will need to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure to resolve this.
Is there a core charge for my old part?
No, there is no core charge for this part. You can keep your original module without needing to send it back.
