Is Your GM Truck or SUV Acting Possessed?
Are you dealing with flickering interior lights, power windows that have a mind of their own, or a security system that randomly goes off? These frustrating and unpredictable electrical gremlins are classic signs of a failing Body Control Module (BCM). In your 2001 Tahoe, Silverado, or Sierra, the BCM is the central command center for all body electronics. When it starts to fail, it can make your reliable truck feel like a constant headache. This isn’t just an annoyanceโit can affect your vehicle’s security and daily usability. It’s time to stop chasing symptoms and fix the root cause.
Common Symptoms & Your Solution
A faulty BCM can cause a wide range of issues that seem unrelated. If you’re experiencing any of the following, this pre-programmed module is your definitive solution:
- Erratic or non-functional power windows, door locks, and mirrors.
- Interior dome lights or dashboard lights staying on or not working at all.
- The security system engaging randomly or preventing the engine from starting (PassLock issues).
- Horn honking unexpectedly or wipers activating on their own.
- Communication errors with other modules, often showing ‘U’ codes on a scanner.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I provide my VIN for programming?
After you complete your purchase, simply send us a message with your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). We cannot ship your order until we receive this information, as the programming is specific to your truck.
Will I need to do any additional programming myself?
No, the primary programming is completed by us before shipment. However, as with any BCM replacement on these vehicles, a couple of simple relearn procedures may be necessary after installation, such as for the airbag system or brake pedal position sensor. These are typically performed with a professional scan tool.
What tools are required for the post-installation procedures?
If the airbag light is on, a diagnostic scan tool capable of performing the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure is required. A similar bi-directional tool may be needed for the brake pedal position relearn. Many independent repair shops have these tools if you are not equipped for it.
Is this a direct fit for my 2001 Silverado or Yukon?
Yes, this BCM is compatible with a wide range of 2001 GM trucks and SUVs, including the Silverado, Sierra, Yukon, Yukon XL, Suburban, and Tahoe. Please check the part numbers listed (09375899, 9392990, 09370249, 19180223) to confirm an exact match for your vehicle.
What happens if I install it and still have problems?
First, ensure any necessary post-install procedures have been completed. If issues persist, remember that this part is a key component in a complex system. It resolves issues originating from the BCM itself. This unit is backed by our one-year replacement warranty, giving you confidence in your purchase.
