A Veteran Technician’s Insight: On these GMT800 platform trucks, the BCM is the central nervous system. It manages everything from your dome light to your security system based on your truck’s specific options (RPO codes). A generic, non-programmed module from a junkyard will almost always cause more problems than it solves. Our VIN-programming service isn’t just a convenience; it’s a critical step to ensure every feature in your specific trim level—whether it’s a base work truck or a fully-loaded Yukon—works flawlessly right out of the box. This is the correct way to fix it right the first time.
Simple Installation Process
After you place your order, simply reply to your confirmation email with your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN. We’ll handle the programming and ship your ready-to-install 2001 Silverado 2500 Body Control Module. While the physical installation is straightforward for a DIYer, please be aware that in some cases, a post-installation procedure like an ‘Airbag System Sync’ or ‘Brake Pedal Position Relearn’ may be necessary using a professional scan tool to clear warning lights. This is a normal part of replacing a major electronic module.
Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly does the Body Control Module do?
The BCM is a computer in your truck that controls and monitors a wide range of electronic body functions not related to the engine. This includes power windows, locks, interior and exterior lighting, the security system, wipers, and instrument panel warnings.
Is this module difficult to install?
The BCM is typically located under the driver’s side of the dashboard and is accessible with basic hand tools. For someone with moderate DIY experience, the physical swap takes less than an hour. Since our module comes pre-programmed, the most challenging part of the job is already done for you.
What do I need to do after I order?
After you complete your purchase, please provide us with your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN. You can reply to your order confirmation email with the VIN. We cannot program and ship your module without it.
Do I have to send my old BCM back?
No. This product has no core charge. You can keep your original module without any additional fees or hassle.
What if the airbag light comes on after I install it?
This can happen occasionally. It means the new BCM needs to be electronically introduced to the airbag system. A procedure called ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ must be performed with a professional-grade scan tool to sync the systems and turn off the light.
Will this part fit my 2001 Tahoe/Suburban/Sierra?
Yes, this 2001 Silverado 2500 Body Control Module is also the correct part for a wide range of other 2001 GM models including the Sierra 1500/2500/3500, Tahoe, Suburban, and Yukon, as long as the original part number matches one of the numbers listed (09375899, 9392990, 09370249, 19180223).
