Restore Full Electrical Function to Your GMC Yukon XL 2500
Are you experiencing frustrating electrical problems in your 2003-2006 GMC Yukon XL 2500? Issues like flickering lights, unresponsive power windows, a malfunctioning security system, or an illuminated airbag light are often caused by a failing Body Control Module (BCM). This vital component acts as the central nervous system for your vehicle’s body electronics. When it fails, it can cause a wide range of confusing and intermittent symptoms. This OEM-quality BCM, part number 15137395, is the definitive solution, pre-programmed to your vehicle’s specific VIN for a true plug-and-play repair.
Is Your Truck Showing Signs of a Bad BCM?
A faulty BCM can manifest in numerous ways. If you’re noticing any of the following, it’s a strong indicator that your module needs replacement:
- ✔ Intermittent or non-working power windows, door locks, or mirrors.
- ✔ HVAC controls that are unresponsive or a blower motor that works sporadically.
- ✔ An active airbag warning light, often accompanied by diagnostic trouble code (DTC) B1001.
- ✔ Security system malfunctions, leading to no-start conditions or false alarms.
- ✔ Headlights, taillights, or interior lights that flicker, stay on, or won’t turn on.
- ✔ Wipers that operate erratically or not at all.

Installation and Post-Install Notes
Installation is simple for the average DIYer. The BCM is typically located under the driver’s side dashboard, near the steering column. Disconnecting the battery before swapping the module is recommended. While the process is plug-and-play, be aware of these potential post-installation steps:
- Airbag System Sync: If your airbag light remains on after installation, a professional scan tool is needed to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure. This syncs the new BCM with the airbag system.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: Some models may require a brake pedal position sensor recalibration to ensure proper brake light and traction control operation.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a BCM do on a 2003-2006 GMC Yukon XL 2500?
The Body Control Module (BCM) is a computer that manages and controls your vehicle’s non-engine related electronic systems. This includes power windows, door locks, interior and exterior lighting, the security system, wipers, and HVAC blower controls.
Why is VIN programming necessary for this BCM?
VIN programming loads your vehicle’s specific configuration and security information onto the BCM. This ensures it communicates correctly with other modules like the ECU and airbag system, preventing compatibility issues and warning lights. Our pre-programming service saves you a trip to the dealer.
Is this a plug-and-play installation?
Yes, for most functions. Because it comes pre-programmed to your VIN, you can simply disconnect the old module and connect the new one to restore primary functions. In some cases, a post-install procedure like an airbag system sync may be needed.
What if my airbag light is on after installing the new BCM?
If the airbag light appears, it means the new BCM needs to be synchronized with the vehicle’s Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM). This requires a professional-grade scan tool to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure.
Do I need to return my old BCM?
No, there is no core charge for this part. You can keep your old module without any hassle or extra fees.
How do I confirm part 15137395 is correct for my truck?
The best way is to check the part number on your original BCM. This module replaces several part numbers, including 15116066, 15137395, and others listed in the description. You can also use our vehicle fitment tool to confirm compatibility.
