Programmed 2001 GMC Safari BCM Body Control Module 9385236

Restore Full Electrical Control to Your GM Vehicle

Are you battling frustrating and unpredictable electrical issues in your 2001 GMC Safari or another compatible GM truck or van? Flickering lights, unresponsive power windows, a security system that acts on its own, or a dashboard that lights up with random warnings are all classic signs of a failing Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM is the central command center for your vehicle’s body electronics, and when it malfunctions, it can make your vehicle feel unreliable and difficult to operate. This replacement Body Control Module, service number 9385236, is the definitive solution to restore order and functionality to your vehicle’s essential features.

Unlike a standard replacement part that requires expensive programming at a dealership, this BCM arrives at your door fully programmed to your specific vehicle. We use your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) to load the latest GM software updates, ensuring seamless integration and optimal performance right out of the box. This critical step eliminates the need for specialized tools and costly labor, turning a complex repair into a manageable one for both seasoned mechanics and skilled DIYers. By providing us with your VIN during checkout, you are ensuring that the module is a perfect electronic match for your vehicle’s factory options.

Diagnosing Your Failing 2001 GMC Safari BCM

A faulty BCM can manifest in numerous ways, often mimicking other problems. If you’re experiencing several of the issues below, your Body Control Module is the most likely culprit. This module is a direct replacement for service numbers 19208539, 9371990, and 9385236, restoring your vehicle’s systems to factory-correct operation.

Common Symptoms of a Failing BCM

• ✔ Intermittent or non-working power windows, door locks, or mirrors.
• ✔ Interior or exterior lights that stay on, flicker, or don’t work at all.
• ✔ The security system or alarm randomly activating or preventing the vehicle from starting (Passlock issues).
• ✔ Erratic or non-functional dashboard gauges and warning lights (like the airbag light).
• ✔ Wipers operating incorrectly or not parking in the correct position.
• ✔ Radio or climate control malfunctions.
• ✔ A noticeable parasitic battery drain that kills the battery overnight.

Installation and Post-Install Procedures

This module is designed for a direct-fit installation, typically located under the driver’s or center dash area. Once you’ve swapped the hardware, the pre-loaded software handles most of the work. However, in some vehicles, additional synchronization procedures may be necessary to ensure all systems communicate correctly.

Important: You must provide your VIN upon purchase so we can program the module before shipment. Failure to do so will result in a delay.

• Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is illuminated after installation, a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure is required. This must be performed with a professional-grade scan tool to sync the new BCM with the airbag system.
• Brake Pedal Position Relearn: On some models, a brake pedal position sensor recalibration might be needed to ensure correct brake light operation and to satisfy the traction control system.
• No Core Charge: We do not require you to send back your old module. You can keep your original part, saving you time and the hassle of return shipping.

This 2001 GMC Safari BCM is also a guaranteed fit for a wide range of other GM models from the same era, including the Chevy S10, Blazer, Astro, Silverado, Suburban, Tahoe, and their GMC counterparts like the Sonoma, Jimmy, Sierra, and Yukon. Please verify your part number or consult the detailed fitment list to confirm compatibility.
