Are you dealing with frustrating and unpredictable electrical issues in your vehicle? Power windows that won’t go up, door locks with a mind of their own, interior lights that flicker, or a security system that randomly goes off?

Expert Insight: The Pre-Programmed Advantage
Many people consider pulling a BCM from a junkyard to save money, but this often leads to more problems. A used BCM is programmed to the donor vehicle’s VIN and options. When installed in your truck, it will cause communication errors, disable features, and may even prevent the vehicle from starting. You would then still need to pay a dealership or specialized shop to program it, erasing any initial savings. Our service eliminates this entire ordeal. By sending you a module that is already programmed for your exact vehicle, we provide a reliable and cost-effective solution that gets the job done right the first time.
Installation & Post-Install Notes
After you purchase, we will need your vehicle’s VIN to program the module before shipment. While installation is often straightforward, please be aware that some vehicles may require additional calibration procedures with a professional scan tool to ensure all systems communicate correctly. This can include:
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is on after installation, a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure is needed.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: May be necessary to ensure proper brake light and traction control operation.
We always recommend consulting a factory service manual or a qualified technician for specific guidance.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I provide my VIN number?
After you complete your purchase, simply send us a message with your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). We cannot ship your order until we receive this information, as the programming is specific to your vehicle.
What does the Body Control Module (BCM) actually do?
The BCM is a computer that supervises and controls many of your vehicle’s non-engine-related functions. This includes power windows, power locks, the security system, interior and exterior lighting, and sometimes even the radio and climate controls. It acts as the central command for passenger comfort and convenience features.
Will this part fit my vehicle?
This module is compatible with a wide range of 2000-2001 GM trucks and SUVs that use service numbers 09385236, 19208539, or 9371990. Please check the detailed fitment list in our description to confirm compatibility with your specific make, model, and year.
Do I need special tools for the post-installation procedures?
Yes, procedures like the Airbag System Sync or Brake Pedal Position Relearn require a bi-directional professional diagnostic scan tool. Basic code readers cannot perform these functions. If you are not equipped to perform these steps, we recommend having the installation completed by a professional automotive technician.
Is this a difficult part to replace?
On most compatible models like the Silverado and Sierra, the BCM is located under the driver’s side of the dashboard. Replacement typically involves removing a few trim panels and connectors. The key benefit of our Programmed 2000 Sierra 2500 Body Control Module is that the most complex part—the software flashing—is already done for you.
