Expert Insight: The End of Dealership Headaches
As a technician with over two decades of experience, I remember when replacing a BCM was a major ordeal. It meant having the vehicle towed to a dealership, waiting for them to order the part, and then paying a hefty fee for programming. Our process changes the game. By programming the 2001 S10 Body Control Module 9385236 to your VIN before we ship, we eliminate the most expensive and inconvenient step. You’re getting a part that is not just a replacement, but a complete, ready-to-install solution that puts you back in control of your repair.
Important Post-Installation Information
While this module is designed for a simple installation, some GM vehicles of this era may require a one-time sync procedure for certain systems after the new BCM is installed. This is a normal part of the vehicle’s security and safety architecture. Please be aware of the following potential procedures that may need to be performed by a professional with a capable diagnostic tool:
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is on after installation, a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure is needed to sync the new BCM with the airbag module.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: A recalibration of the brake pedal position sensor may be required to ensure correct brake light operation and traction control performance.
We provide this information to ensure you have a smooth and successful installation. For a reliable, dealership-free repair, this pre-programmed 2001 S10 Body Control Module 9385236 is the clear choice.
Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly does a Body Control Module do?
The BCM is essentially the brain for your vehicle’s non-engine related electronics. It controls functions like your power windows, door locks, interior and exterior lighting, security system, and even parts of the climate control and radio.
Why do you need my vehicle’s VIN?
Your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) allows us to access the specific software and calibration files from GM for your exact model, year, and options. Programming the BCM with this data ensures it communicates correctly with all other modules in your vehicle, making the installation process as smooth as possible.
My original part number is 9371990. Will this module work?
Yes. This module is a direct, compatible replacement for service numbers 19208539, 9371990, and 9385236. As long as your vehicle is listed in the compatibility chart, this part will function correctly once programmed to your VIN.
Do I need special tools to install this BCM?
The physical installation typically only requires basic hand tools to access the module’s location (often under the dash). However, as noted, some vehicles may require a professional-grade scan tool for post-installation procedures like an airbag system sync or brake sensor relearn if warning lights appear.
Is this a difficult part to replace for a DIY mechanic?
For someone with basic mechanical aptitude, the physical swap is generally straightforward. The key is locating the module, which is typically under the driver’s or center dash. The most important part of our service is that we handle the complex programming, which is the step that usually prevents DIY replacement.
What is covered by the one-year replacement warranty?
This unit is backed by our one-year replacement warranty. This covers any functional defects with the module itself. If the unit fails within one year of the purchase date, we will provide a replacement part.
