Frequently Asked Questions
What is a BCM and what does it do?
The Body Control Module (BCM) is a computer in your vehicle that controls and monitors a wide range of electronic accessories not related to the engine. This includes power windows, locks, lights, security system, wipers, and instrument panel functions.
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 provide clear instructions on how to do this. We cannot ship your part until we receive your VIN, as the programming is specific to your vehicle.
Is this a difficult part to install?
For most compatible vehicles like the Silverado or Tahoe, the BCM is located under the driver’s side of the dashboard. Installation typically involves disconnecting the battery, removing a few trim panels, and swapping the electrical connectors. It is a manageable job for a confident DIYer with basic tools.
Will I need to do any programming myself?
No. The main benefit of this product is that we handle all the programming before it ships. This programmed 2000 Silverado 1500 BCM is designed to be a plug-and-play solution, saving you a trip to the dealer.
What if my airbag light comes 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 procedure called ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ will need to be performed by a professional with a capable scan tool.
Which vehicles is this BCM compatible with?
This BCM is compatible with a wide range of 2000-2001 GM trucks, vans, and SUVs that use service numbers 19208539, 9371990, or 9385236. Please see the full compatibility list in the description to confirm your specific model.
