Is Your Tahoe Plagued by Bizarre Electrical Issues?
There’s nothing more frustrating than when your trusted truck or SUV starts acting up. One minute the A/C works, the next it doesn’t. The power windows have a mind of their own, and a persistent airbag light on the dash is a constant worry.

An Expert’s Diagnostic Tip
Before you replace your 2007-2011 Tahoe BCM 15901388, take a moment to check the main ground connections. On these GM platforms, a loose or corroded ground wire—especially the one under the driver’s side door sill plate or near the BCM’s mounting location—can cause symptoms that mimic a failed module. Ensuring all grounds are clean and tight is a crucial step for a successful repair and prevents the new module from being damaged by poor connections. A simple check can save you from a repeat headache.
Don’t let electrical gremlins dictate your driving experience. By installing this expertly programmed 2007-2011 Tahoe BCM 15901388, you are not just replacing a part; you are restoring the confidence and dependability you expect from your vehicle. Get your truck back on the road and running smoothly.
Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly does the Body Control Module do?
The BCM is a computer in your vehicle that manages and controls a wide range of electronic accessories not related to the engine. This includes power windows, power mirrors, air conditioning, power locks, security systems, and interior/exterior lighting.
Why is VIN programming so important?
VIN programming loads your vehicle’s specific software, options, and security information onto the BCM. Without it, the module won’t be able to communicate correctly with other computers in your vehicle, leading to system malfunctions. Our pre-programming service makes the unit plug-and-play, saving you a trip to the dealer.
How do I provide my VIN for programming?
After you place your order, you will be prompted to provide your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN. We cannot ship the module until we have this information to ensure it is programmed correctly for your specific truck or SUV.
Is this module difficult to install?
No, installation is typically straightforward for someone with basic mechanical skills. The BCM is usually located under the driver’s side dashboard, near the steering column. It’s held in by a few clips or bolts and has several electrical connectors. The entire process often takes less than 30 minutes.
What if the airbag light is still on after installation?
In some cases, particularly if DTC B1001 was present, a post-installation procedure called ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ is required. This syncs the new BCM with the airbag system and must be performed with a professional-grade scan tool. This is a simple procedure for most repair shops.
Will this fit my 2008 GMC Sierra?
Yes, this BCM is compatible with a wide range of 2007-2013 GM trucks and SUVs, including the GMC Sierra, Chevrolet Silverado, Suburban, and Cadillac Escalade. Please verify the part number or use our vehicle fitment tool to confirm it is the correct module for your specific model.
