Is Your GM Truck or SUV Plagued by Bizarre Electrical Problems?
Are you dealing with flickering lights, power windows with a mind of their own, or door locks that work intermittently? These frustrating electrical gremlins often point to one central culprit: a failing Body Control Module (BCM). Your BCM is the nerve center for your vehicle’s body electronics, and when it starts to fail, it can make your dependable truck or SUV feel unreliable. This pre-programmed GM Body Control Module 09371990 is the definitive, hassle-free solution to restore full functionality and peace of mind.

- The security system engaging randomly or preventing the vehicle from starting
- Inaccurate or non-functional gauges on the instrument cluster
- Warning lights (like the airbag light) appearing for no reason
- Remote keyless entry system not responding

Expert Insight: Why VIN-Specific Programming is Non-Negotiable
On these early 2000s GM platforms, the BCM is more than just a simple controller; it’s a key component of the vehicle’s security and options network. It communicates with the engine computer, airbag system, and instrument cluster. Using a generic, non-programmed module can lead to a no-start condition due to the anti-theft system, or cause features your truck is equipped with (like keyless entry) to not work at all. Our VIN-specific programming ensures the new GM Body Control Module 09371990 recognizes your exact vehicle configuration, making the installation process as smooth as possible and ensuring all systems communicate correctly from the moment you plug it in.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I provide my VIN for programming?
After you complete your purchase, you will need to send us your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). We will then program the BCM specifically for your vehicle before we ship it out.
Is this part difficult to install?
For someone with moderate mechanical experience, the installation is generally straightforward. The BCM is typically located under the driver’s side dashboard. However, as with any vehicle electronics, we recommend consulting a service manual or a qualified technician if you are unsure. The most important step is disconnecting the battery before you begin.
What if my airbag light is on after installation?
In some cases, the new BCM may need to be synced with the airbag system (SDM). If the airbag warning light is on after installation, a professional scan tool is required to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure. This is a simple sync that a repair shop can perform.
Will this definitely fix my electrical problem?
This GM Body Control Module 09371990 is the solution for a wide range of common electrical issues. While it resolves problems caused by a faulty BCM, it’s crucial to ensure your vehicle’s wiring and other related components are in good condition. Proper diagnosis is always the key to a successful repair.
What does ‘No Core Charge’ mean?
It means you do not have to return your old, defective Body Control Module to us. This saves you the cost and effort of return shipping and eliminates any additional charges.
Do I need to perform any other procedures after installation?
Depending on your specific model, a Brake Pedal Position Sensor relearn procedure may be necessary to ensure proper brake light and traction control function. Please refer to the included instructions or a factory service manual for details specific to your vehicle.
