Tired of Chasing Electrical Gremlins in Your GM Truck?
Is your 2001 Sierra, Silverado, or Tahoe acting possessed? Flickering lights, power windows with a mind of their own, or a security light that won’t turn off are classic signs of a failing Body Control Module (BCM). These issues are more than just an annoyance; they compromise your vehicle’s reliability and your peace of mind. Stop wasting time and money on guesswork. This is the definitive, reliable solution to restore your truck’s electrical system to perfect working order.

Expert Insight: The Hidden Culprit
As a technician, I’ve seen countless hours and dollars wasted chasing electrical problems. A mechanic might replace a window motor, then a switch, only to find the problem persists. That’s because the BCM is the central command center for these components. When it fails, it sends faulty signals, making other good parts appear broken. Replacing the BCM first often solves a dozen problems at once, making it the most efficient and cost-effective repair for these symptoms. This programmed BCM 9370249 is designed to be that first, and final, fix.
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, door locks, interior and exterior lighting, the anti-theft system, and more.
How do I provide my VIN?
After you complete your purchase, you will need to send us your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN (Vehicle Identification Number). We will then program the BCM specifically for your truck or SUV before we ship it to you. This ensures compatibility with your vehicle’s options.
Is this BCM difficult to install?
The BCM is typically located under the driver’s side of the dashboard. Installation is generally straightforward for someone with basic mechanical skills. It involves disconnecting the battery, removing some trim panels, and unplugging the electrical connectors from the old module to swap in the new one. However, we always recommend consulting a service manual for your specific vehicle.
Will I need any special tools after installation?
In some cases, yes. As noted in our post-installation procedures, a professional scan tool may be required to perform an ‘Airbag System Sync’ or a ‘Brake Pedal Position Relearn’ if certain warning lights appear after the new BCM is installed. Many local repair shops can perform these procedures for you.
What happens if I don’t perform the post-installation procedures?
If required for your vehicle, not performing these procedures could result in a persistent airbag warning light or improper brake light/traction control operation. It’s essential for safety and proper vehicle function to have these syncs performed if the related warning lights are on.
How can I be sure this fits my vehicle?
This programmed BCM 9370249 is a direct replacement for several part numbers. The best way to confirm fitment is to check the part number on your original BCM. If it matches one of the numbers listed in our description (09375899, 9392990, 09370249, 19180223) and your vehicle is a 2001 model listed, it will fit.
