Tired of Unpredictable Electrical Gremlins in Your GM Truck?
Are strange electrical issues plaguing your 2000 GMC Yukon, Tahoe, or Suburban? From power windows with a mind of their own and flickering interior lights to a security system that prevents your truck from starting, these frustrating problems often point to a single culprit: a failing Body Control Module (BCM). This isn’t just an inconvenience; it’s a reliability issue that can leave you stranded. Restore the dependable performance you rely on with this direct-fit, VIN-programmed Body Control Module.

- The security light is illuminated, and the vehicle won’t start (a common Passlock issue).
- Erratic behavior from the radio or climate control system.
- False warning messages on the driver information center.
- Communication DTCs (Diagnostic Trouble Codes) stored in the vehicle’s computer system.

An Expert’s Note on BCM Failures: Many owners and even some shops waste hundreds of dollars replacing window motors, door lock actuators, and light switches, only to find the problem persists. The BCM is the central command center for these components. When it fails, it sends faulty signals, making good parts appear broken. Replacing the BCM first often solves all the issues at once, making it the most cost-effective and logical repair for widespread electrical problems. This 2000 Yukon BCM 16257155 is the correct foundational fix.
Installation & Post-Install Notes
While this BCM is designed for a straightforward swap, some vehicles may require additional steps after installation to ensure all systems are synchronized. Please be aware of the following potential procedures:
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is on 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 module.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: On some models, a recalibration of the brake pedal position sensor may be necessary for proper brake light and traction control function.
We always recommend consulting a factory service manual or a qualified technician if you are unsure about any part of the installation process. Getting this key component, a 2000 Yukon BCM 16257155, installed correctly will ensure years of reliable service.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to program this BCM?
No. We handle all the programming for you before shipment. Simply provide us with your vehicle’s VIN during or after checkout, and the module will arrive ready to install.
What information do you need from me?
We only need your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). This allows us to load the correct GM-certified software and settings for your truck’s specific options.
What if my airbag light comes on after installation?
This can happen occasionally. It means the new BCM needs to be electronically ‘introduced’ to the airbag module (SDM). A repair shop with a professional-grade scan tool can perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure to resolve this.
Will this fix my ‘Security’ light and no-start problem?
Yes, in most cases. The BCM is a critical part of the Passlock security system on these GM trucks. A failing BCM is a very common cause of security-related starting issues.
Is this a difficult part to replace myself?
For someone with moderate DIY experience, it is a manageable job. The BCM is typically located under the driver’s side of the dashboard. The main challenge is accessing it. However, because of potential post-install procedures, we always recommend professional installation if you are not comfortable with vehicle electronics.
What part numbers does this module replace?
This module is a direct replacement for the following part numbers: 16257155, 15136876, 09377486, and 9377486.
