Is Your 2001 GM Truck or SUV Plagued by Electrical Gremlins?
If you’re experiencing bizarre and frustrating electrical issues in your 2001 Sierra, Silverado, Tahoe, or Yukon, a failing Body Control Module (BCM) is the most likely culprit. The BCM is the central command center for your vehicle’s body electronics. When it starts to fail, it can cause a cascade of problems that seem unrelated, making diagnosis a nightmare. This module is the definitive solution to restore your vehicle’s proper function and reliability.
Common Symptoms of a Failing BCM
- ✔ Erratic or non-functional power windows, door locks, and mirrors.
- ✔ Interior or exterior lights flickering, staying on, or not working at all.
- ✔ The security system light is illuminated on the dash, often causing a no-start condition.
- ✔ Inconsistent or dead gauges on the instrument cluster.
- ✔ Radio or climate control malfunctions.
- ✔ False warning messages like “Service 4WD” appearing on the driver information center.

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, such as power windows, locks, lights, security system, and wipers.
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 VIN. We cannot ship your part until we receive the VIN, as the programming is specific to your vehicle.
Is this part truly plug-and-play?
Yes, for most vehicles. Because we program it to your VIN, it will not require a trip to the dealer for initial setup. However, as noted, some vehicles may require a simple relearn procedure for the airbag or brake systems, which can be done by most repair shops.
Where is the BCM located on my 2001 GM Truck?
The BCM is typically located on the driver’s side, up under the dashboard, often near the steering column or parking brake pedal assembly.
Why is my airbag light on after installing the new BCM?
The new BCM needs to be electronically ‘introduced’ to the vehicle’s existing airbag computer (SDM). This requires a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure with a professional-grade scan tool to sync the components and turn off the light.
Do I need to send my old part back?
No, there is no core charge for this part. You can keep your original module.
