Restore Your Truck’s Electrical System to Perfect Health
Are you battling frustrating and unpredictable electrical problems in your GM truck, van, or SUV? Flickering lights, erratic wipers, malfunctioning power windows, or a security system that leaves you stranded are common signs of a failing Body Control Module (BCM). Don’t let these issues compromise your vehicle’s reliability. This professionally programmed BCM is the definitive, hassle-free solution to get your vehicle back on the road and operating exactly as it should. By purchasing this 2002 Avalanche 1500 BCM, you’re not just buying a part; you’re buying a permanent fix that restores functionality and your peace of mind.
Common Symptoms & Your Solution
If you’re experiencing any of the following, a failing BCM is the likely culprit:
- Power windows, door locks, or mirrors working intermittently or not at all.
- Interior or exterior lights staying on, flickering, or not turning on.
- The security or anti-theft light is illuminated, causing a no-start condition.
- Erratic behavior from the radio, climate control, or dashboard gauges.
- Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) related to communication or body control circuits.
This module is the answer. We take the guesswork and expense out of the repair by pre-programming the unit to your vehicle’s specific VIN before it ever leaves our facility. This means no costly trip to the dealership for programming—a savings of both time and money.

Expert Insight: The Smart Fix for a Complex Problem
As a technician, I’ve seen countless owners get frustrated by BCM issues. In the past, the only option was to buy a blank module and have the vehicle towed to a dealer for expensive programming. It was a time-consuming and costly process. Our VIN programming service changes the game. We handle the complex computer work so you can perform a simple, physical part swap. This is the modern, efficient way to solve a problem that used to sideline a vehicle for days. You’re getting a dealership-level solution without the dealership price tag or inconvenience.
Important Post-Installation Information
While this 2002 Avalanche 1500 BCM is programmed for a straightforward installation, some vehicles may require one or more relearn procedures to sync all systems perfectly. These are standard procedures for this type of repair and can often be performed with a capable bi-directional scan tool. Please be aware of the following possibilities:
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is on after installation, a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure is necessary to sync the new BCM with the airbag system.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: A recalibration of the brake pedal position sensor may be required to ensure correct brake light operation and traction control function.
Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician for vehicle-specific instructions.
After you complete your purchase, please send us an email with your vehicle’s VIN. We cannot ship your part until we have programmed it.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the VIN programming process work?
After you place your order, you simply provide us with your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN. Our technicians use this number to access the latest official GM software for your specific vehicle build. We then flash this software onto the BCM, making it a perfect match for your truck or SUV before we ship it to you.
Is this BCM difficult to install?
The physical installation is typically straightforward. On most of these GM models, the BCM is located under the steering column or in the center dash and is held in by a few bolts or clips. The main challenge is usually accessing it. Once the old unit is out, the new one plugs right in. The most technical part may be the post-install relearn procedures, if required.
Will I need special tools for the post-installation procedures?
For procedures like the Airbag System Sync or Brake Pedal Position Relearn, a professional-grade, bi-directional diagnostic scan tool is typically required. Many DIY-level code readers cannot perform these specific functions. We recommend consulting with a local trusted repair shop if you do not have access to such a tool.
What happens if my airbag light is on after installation?
This is a known possibility and does not indicate a faulty part. It simply means the new BCM needs to be electronically ‘introduced’ to the vehicle’s airbag control module (SDM). Performing the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure with a proper scan tool will resolve this and turn off the light.
How do I find my part number to confirm a match?
Your original BCM will have a sticker on it with the part number. It will match one of the numbers listed in our description, such as 15063578 or DKAK. While our programmed 2002 Avalanche 1500 BCM is compatible with all listed numbers, confirming your original part number is always a good practice.
Is this a brand new part?
This is a professionally inspected and verified original equipment module that has been tested to meet or exceed factory specifications. We then program it with the newest software available from GM for your vehicle, ensuring optimal performance and reliability.
