Is Your 2001 GM Truck or SUV Acting Possessed?
If you’re dealing with bizarre electrical issues like power windows with a mind of their own, flickering interior lights, a stubborn security system, or random warning messages on your dash, you’re not alone. These frustrating problems often point directly to a failing Body Control Module (BCM). Instead of paying dealership prices for a new module and programming, get your truck back to its reliable self with this pre-programmed BCM, designed specifically for your vehicle.
Common Failure Symptoms & Your Direct Solution
A faulty BCM can cause a wide range of confusing and intermittent problems. If your truck is experiencing any of the following, this module is the solution you need:
- Erratic power windows, door locks, and mirrors
- Interior lights staying on or not working at all
- The security light flashing, preventing the engine from starting (Passlock issues)
- Inoperative radio or climate controls
- False warnings on the driver information center (DIC)
- Communication problems with diagnostic scan tools

Expert Insight: The Dealership Alternative That Puts You in Control
A customer with a 2001 Sierra 2500 work truck was about to lose a job because his truck wouldn’t start intermittently due to a flashing security light. The dealership quoted him over $800 for a new BCM and programming, plus a two-day wait. He ordered our pre-programmed 2001 Silverado Sierra BCM 9392990 instead. It arrived the next day, he installed it in under 30 minutes, and his truck fired right up. He was back on the job site that afternoon, having saved hundreds of dollars and critical downtime. That’s the power of a solution built for people who rely on their vehicles.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this BCM truly “plug and play”?
Yes, for the vast majority of functions. Because we program it to your VIN, your truck will start and run, and core features will work immediately. In some cases, simple relearn procedures, such as for the brake pedal position sensor or airbag system sync, may be required. These are detailed in your service manual and often can be done with a capable bidirectional scan tool.
How do I provide my VIN?
After you complete your purchase, simply reply to your order confirmation email with your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). We cannot ship your part until we receive the VIN, as the programming is essential for it to work in your truck.
Where is the BCM located on my 2001 truck or SUV?
On most 2001 GM full-size trucks and SUVs like the Silverado, Sierra, and Tahoe, the Body Control Module is located on the driver’s side, up under the dashboard, typically to the left of the steering column.
Will this fix my flashing “Security” light?
Yes, a failing BCM is one of the most common causes of Passlock security system issues in these vehicles. Replacing it with our correctly programmed 2001 Silverado Sierra BCM 9392990 is the most reliable way to solve that specific no-start problem.
What if my airbag light is on after installation?
If the airbag warning light appears, it means the new BCM needs to be electronically introduced to the airbag system’s computer (SDM). A procedure called “Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM” must be performed with a professional-grade scan tool to sync the modules and turn off the light.
Do I need to send my old BCM back?
No. This product has no core charge. You can keep, discard, or recycle your original module at your convenience.
