Restore Full Electronic Functionality to Your GM Vehicle
Is your 2010 Cadillac Escalade or other compatible GM vehicle suffering from strange and unpredictable electrical problems? Issues like flickering lights, non-functional power windows, erratic dashboard warnings, or a no-start condition often point to a failing Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM is the central command center for your vehicle’s body electronics, and when it fails, it can cause a cascade of frustrating issues. This replacement Body Control Module is the definitive solution to restore your vehicle’s performance and reliability.
We had a 2010 Yukon Denali in the shop with a ghost of a problem. The owner complained that sometimes the interior lights wouldn’t turn off, the radio would randomly change stations, and occasionally the vehicle wouldn’t start. We checked the battery and alternator, which were fine. After hours of tracing wires, we hooked up our diagnostic tool and saw multiple communication errors pointing back to the BCM. A failing BCM can send corrupt data across the vehicle’s network, causing all sorts of unrelated-seeming issues. Replacing it with a VIN-programmed unit like this one solved every single problem instantly.
Symptoms of a Failing BCM
If you’re experiencing any of the following, a faulty BCM is the likely culprit:
- โ Power windows, locks, or mirrors working intermittently or not at all.
- โ Interior or exterior lights staying on or not turning on.
- โ The security system acting up, preventing the vehicle from starting.
- โ Horn honking unexpectedly or not working.
- โ Warning lights on the dash (like the airbag or brake light) appearing for no reason.
- โ Complete loss of power to certain accessories.

Important Post-Installation Information
While this BCM is programmed for your vehicle, some systems may require a simple relearn procedure after installation to ensure full communication and functionality. These are standard procedures and can often be performed with a high-end diagnostic scan tool.
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is illuminated 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 brake pedal position sensor recalibration may be required to ensure your brake lights and traction control system function correctly.
Please note: Specific procedures can vary. Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician for guidance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to get this BCM programmed by a dealer?
No. We program the module to your vehicle’s specific VIN before shipping it to you. It arrives ready to be installed, saving you time and money.
How do I provide my VIN?
After you complete your purchase, you will need to send us your 17-digit VIN. We will provide clear instructions on how to do this. We cannot ship your part until we receive the VIN.
Is this installation difficult?
For someone with moderate mechanical skill, the physical replacement is straightforward. The BCM is typically located under the dash. However, be aware that post-installation relearn procedures for systems like the airbags or brakes may be required.
What happens if my airbag light comes on after I install it?
This is a common occurrence. The new BCM needs to be electronically introduced to the airbag system. A technician with a professional diagnostic tool will need to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure to resolve this.
Is there a core charge for this part?
No, there is no core charge. You can keep your old module without needing to send it back.
Will this fix my specific electrical problem?
This module corrects issues directly caused by a faulty BCM. While the symptoms listed are very common, we always recommend a proper diagnosis by a qualified mechanic to confirm the BCM is the root cause of your problem before ordering.
