Frequently Asked Questions
What information do I need to provide?
After you complete your purchase, simply send us your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN (Vehicle Identification Number). We’ll handle the rest, programming the module specifically for your 2001 GMC Safari before we ship it.
Do I have to send my old BCM back?
No. This product has no core charge. You can keep your original module, which saves you the time and expense of a return shipment.
Is this part difficult to install?
The physical installation is straightforward for someone with basic mechanical skills, as it’s a direct-fit part. However, please be aware that some vehicles may require post-installation procedures, like an airbag system sync or brake pedal position relearn, which require a professional diagnostic tool.
What if my airbag light is on after installation?
If the airbag warning light appears, it’s not a fault with the BCM. The vehicle simply needs a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure performed with a compatible high-level scan tool to sync the BCM with the airbag module. This is a standard security procedure on many GM vehicles.
Will this BCM fit other vehicles?
Yes, this module is compatible with a range of GM trucks, vans, and SUVs from the 2000-2001 model years that use service numbers 19208539, 9371990, or 9385236. Please check the fitment list to confirm it matches your specific vehicle and options.
How do I know my BCM is the problem?
While this part is the solution for a failed BCM, proper diagnosis is key. If your vehicle is experiencing multiple, unrelated electrical issues as described above, the BCM is the most likely cause. Our pre-programmed 2001 GMC Safari BCM is the most reliable way to fix it.
