Expert Reply:

The port for installing the brake controller is located in a junction box behind the emergency brake pedal. Remove the black lid from the junction box, the brake control adapter is plugged into the second slot from the left on the top row. If you need the adapter harness and you're using a Tekonsha brake controller, we offer them as part # 3025-P. If your controller doesn't have a socket on the back just wires exiting the rear, cut the black connector off the harness and wire it to the controller, color for color.

If your Yukon does not have the trailer connector, you will need part # PK11898 if the tow package wiring ends in a pigtail above the spare tire. If the tow package wiring harness ends in a socket with the plug covering it, you will need part # 30955.

I've linked you to an FAQ article and an install video showing a controller being installed on a 2001 Yukon.
