Programmed 2001 Silverado BCM Body Control Module 9370249

Restore Your Truck’s Electrical System with a Plug-and-Programmed BCM

Are you tired of chasing electrical gremlins in your 2001 GM truck? Flickering lights, malfunctioning power windows, or a security system that has a mind of its own are classic signs of a failing Body Control Module (BCM). As a technician with over two decades of experience, I’ve seen how a faulty BCM can turn a reliable truck into a source of constant frustration. The BCM is the central command center for your vehicle’s body electronics, and when it fails, it can cause a cascade of bizarre, seemingly unrelated issues. This isn’t just an annoyance; it can affect safety and drivability.

This is your direct-fit, reliable solution. We offer a genuine replacement BCM that arrives at your door pre-programmed to your truck’s specific Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). This crucial step eliminates the need for an expensive trip to the dealership for programming. You provide us with your VIN at checkout, and our experts flash the module with the latest GM software updates, ensuring it communicates perfectly with your truck’s other systems right out of the box. Get your truck back to full functionality without the dealership hassle or cost.

Common Signs of a Failing BCM

• ✔ Intermittent or non-working power windows, door locks, and mirrors.
• ✔ The security system or alarm randomly activating or not working at all.
• ✔ Erratic behavior from interior or exterior lights (flickering, staying on, or not turning on).
• ✔ Dashboard warning lights illuminating for no apparent reason.
• ✔ Problems with the radio, climate control, or other accessory functions.
• ✔ The vehicle failing to start due to security system communication errors.

A Straightforward Guide to Your 2001 Silverado BCM Installation

1. Safety First: Always disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery before starting any electrical work.
2. Locate the BCM: On these GM trucks, the BCM is typically located under the driver’s side of the dashboard, to the left of the steering column.
3. Remove Trim Panels: You may need to remove the lower dash panel or knee bolster to gain access. These are usually held in by a few screws or clips.
4. Disconnect and Remove: Carefully unplug the electrical connectors from the old BCM. They have locking tabs that need to be depressed. Once disconnected, unbolt or unclip the old module from its mounting bracket.
5. Install the New BCM: Mount your new, pre-programmed BCM in the same location. Securely plug in all the electrical connectors, ensuring they click into place.
6. Post-Installation Procedures: Reconnect the battery terminal. Follow the critical post-installation steps outlined below.

Critical Post-Installation Steps

After installing your new 2001 Silverado BCM, a couple of final procedures are necessary to ensure all systems operate correctly and safely. These steps require a professional-grade diagnostic scan tool.

• Airbag System Reset: The airbag warning light will likely be on. You must perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure. This re-establishes the security handshake between the new BCM and the airbag system’s Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM).
• Brake Pedal Position Sensor Relearn: Some vehicles require a recalibration of the brake pedal position sensor. This procedure ensures the brake lights and stability control systems receive accurate data from the brake pedal.

Note: If you are not comfortable performing these procedures or do not have the required tools, we strongly recommend seeking assistance from a qualified professional mechanic.
