Restore Full Electrical Control to Your GM Truck or SUV
Are you battling frustrating electrical gremlins in your 2011 GMC Sierra Denali 2500? Symptoms like flickering lights, unresponsive power windows, erratic HVAC controls, or a persistent airbag light often point to a single culprit: a failing Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM acts as the central nervous system for your vehicle’s body electronics, and when it malfunctions, it can cause a cascade of confusing and disruptive issues. This genuine GM 25844480 BCM is the definitive solution, arriving pre-programmed to your vehicle’s specific VIN for a true plug-and-play repair.
Common Symptoms of a Failing BCM
- ✔ Unresponsive or intermittent power windows, door locks, or mirrors.
- ✔ Interior or exterior lights that stay on, flicker, or won’t turn on at all.
- ✔ HVAC system malfunctions, such as a blower motor that won’t work or incorrect temperature control.
- ✔ An active airbag warning light, often accompanied by DTC B1001.
- ✔ Vehicle security system faults, causing no-start or stalling conditions.
- ✔ A variety of seemingly unrelated diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) stored in the system.

Installation and Post-Install Considerations
Physical installation is straightforward for most DIY mechanics. The BCM is typically located under the driver’s side dashboard, near the steering column. After the new module is installed, most functions will work immediately. However, in some cases, additional steps may be needed:
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light remains on after installation, a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure must be performed using a professional-grade scan tool. This syncs the new BCM with the airbag system.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: Certain models may require a brake pedal position sensor relearn to ensure proper brake light and traction control operation.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does this Body Control Module do?
The BCM is a computer that manages and controls many of your vehicle’s non-engine related electronic features, including the power windows, door locks, security system, interior/exterior lighting, and HVAC climate control.
Is this part ready to install right out of the box?
Yes! This module is sold with VIN programming. We flash it with your vehicle’s specific data before shipping, so it’s ready for a plug-and-play installation without requiring a visit to the dealer.
What if my airbag light is on after I install the new BCM?
This is a common security feature. You will need a professional scan tool with the correct capabilities to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ function, which syncs the new module to the airbag system and turns off the light.
Do I need to return my old BCM?
No. There is no core charge for this part. You can keep your old module without any extra fees or hassle.
Will this fit vehicles other than a 2011 Sierra Denali 2500?
Absolutely. This BCM fits a wide range of 2007-2013 GM vehicles, including the Chevrolet Silverado, Tahoe, Suburban, Avalanche, and Cadillac Escalade. Please verify the part number for your specific application.
