Is Your GM Truck Plagued by Electrical Gremlins?
Are you dealing with frustrating and unpredictable issues like power windows that won’t cooperate, door locks with a mind of their own, or a security light that won’t turn off? These are classic signs of a failing Body Control Module (BCM). In vehicles like your 2000 Chevrolet Suburban 1500, the BCM is the central command for all interior electronics and accessories. When it fails, it can make your reliable truck feel unpredictable. This pre-programmed Body Control Module is the definitive, hassle-free solution to restore your vehicle’s proper function and your peace of mind.
Common Symptoms of a Failing BCM & Your Direct Solution
A faulty BCM can manifest in numerous ways, often leading to an incorrect diagnosis. If you’re experiencing any of the following, this module is the fix you need:
- Intermittent or non-working power windows, door locks, and mirrors.
- Interior lights or dashboard lights behaving erratically.
- The security system engaging randomly or preventing the engine from starting.
- Communication error codes (U-codes) when scanning the vehicle.
- Erratic wiper or radio operation.

A Technician’s Perspective: The Junkyard Gamble vs. A Sure Thing
“I’ve seen it a hundred times. A customer tries to save a few bucks by pulling a BCM from a junkyard. They install it, and nothing works right—or worse, new problems appear. That’s because a BCM is coded to its original vehicle’s VIN and options. Our pre-programmed solution completely eliminates that expensive gamble. You’re not just buying a part; you’re buying a guaranteed fix that saves you the time, towing fees, and dealer programming costs that come with an incorrect module. For a vehicle you depend on, this is the only way to do the job right.”
Post-Installation Notes
While this Programmed 2000 Suburban 1500 BCM 9385236 is designed for a straightforward installation, some vehicles may require simple relearn procedures. If your airbag warning light is on after installation, a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure may be needed using a capable scan tool. Additionally, a brake pedal position sensor recalibration might be necessary on some models. Always consult a service manual or a qualified technician if you are unsure.
Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly does the Body Control Module do?
The BCM acts as the central computer for your vehicle’s body electronics. It controls non-engine related functions like power windows, locks, interior lighting, security system, wipers, and radio. When it fails, these systems can become unreliable.
Is this module truly plug-and-play?
Yes. Because we program the module to the VIN you provide, it is ready to be installed without needing a trip to the dealership for programming. In some rare cases, vehicle-specific relearn procedures, like for the airbag or brake pedal sensor, may be required with a professional scan tool.
Where do I provide my vehicle’s VIN?
After you complete your purchase, we will contact you for your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN. We cannot ship your order until we have this information, as it is essential for the programming process.
What if my airbag light comes on after installation?
This can happen on some models. It means the new BCM needs to be synced with the airbag system’s Supplemental Deployable Module (SDM). A procedure called ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ will need to be performed with a professional-grade diagnostic tool to resolve this.
Do I need to send my old part back?
No. We do not charge a core fee for this part. You can keep or dispose of your original module, making the process simpler and more convenient for you.
