Restore Your Truck’s Electrical System and Get Back on the Road
Are you dealing with frustrating and unpredictable electrical problems in your 2001 GM truck or SUV? Flickering lights, malfunctioning power windows, or a security system that has a mind of its own are common signs of a failing Body Control Module (BCM). These issues aren’t just an annoyance; they compromise your vehicle’s reliability and your peace of mind. This pre-programmed BCM is the straightforward, professional-grade solution to get your vehicle operating exactly as it should, without a costly trip to the dealership.
Common Symptoms & Your Solution
A faulty BCM can cause a wide range of confusing electrical gremlins. If you’re experiencing any of the following, this module is the definitive fix:
- Power windows, door locks, or mirrors working intermittently or not at all.
- Interior dome lights or dashboard lights staying on or not turning on.
- The security system engaging randomly, preventing the truck from starting (Passlock issues).
- Erratic behavior from the radio, HVAC controls, or windshield wipers.
- Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) related to communication loss with the BCM.
Instead of chasing down individual electrical faults, replacing the central hub of your vehicle’s body electronics with this expertly programmed 2001 GM Truck BCM 09375899 restores all functions to factory-correct operation.

Expert Insight: From the Technician’s Bench
As a technician, I’ve seen countless 2001-era GM trucks and SUVs come into the shop with bizarre electrical issues that trace back to a failing BCM. The factory units from this era are a known failure point. In the past, the only option was a new module from the dealer, followed by hours of labor for installation and programming with their proprietary tools. That process can easily run you hundreds of dollars more than this solution. By providing a 2001 GM Truck BCM 09375899 that’s already programmed, we eliminate the biggest headache and expense for both DIY mechanics and professional shops. It turns a complex electronic repair into a manageable component swap, getting your reliable workhorse back in service faster.
Installation & Post-Install Notes
After purchasing, please provide us with your vehicle’s VIN to ensure we can program the module correctly. While this BCM is designed for a straightforward installation, some vehicles may require a simple relearn procedure after the part is installed. Please be aware of the following:
- Airbag System Sync: In some cases, the airbag warning light may illuminate after installation. This requires a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure with a compatible high-level scan tool to sync the new BCM with the airbag system.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: A brake pedal position sensor recalibration may be necessary to ensure proper brake light and traction control functionality.
We recommend consulting a factory service manual or a qualified technician if you are unsure about these procedures. This 2001 GM Truck BCM 09375899 is your key to solving those persistent electrical problems for good.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does a BCM do on my 2001 GM truck?
The Body Control Module (BCM) acts as the central computer for your truck’s non-engine related electronic systems. It controls functions like power windows, power door locks, interior and exterior lighting, the security system, and the instrument cluster.
Is this BCM truly plug-and-play?
Yes, for most vehicles. We program it to your VIN, so it communicates with your truck’s other modules correctly upon installation. However, as noted, some models may require a simple ‘relearn’ procedure for the airbag or brake pedal position sensor, which may require a professional scan tool.
How do I provide my VIN for programming?
After you complete your purchase, you will receive instructions on how to send us your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). We cannot ship your order until we receive this information, as the programming is essential for the part to function.
What happens if my airbag light comes on after installation?
If the airbag light is on, it means the new BCM needs to be synced with the vehicle’s Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM). A procedure called ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ must be performed by a shop with a professional-grade diagnostic tool to resolve this.
Do I have to send my old BCM back?
No. This product has no core charge. You can keep your original module, which simplifies the process and saves you the cost and effort of return shipping.
