Are you battling bizarre electrical issues in your 2010 Cadillac Escalade or another compatible GM vehicle? Flickering lights, malfunctioning power windows, or a security system that has a mind of its own are common signs of a failing Body Control Module (BCM).

This replacement Body Control Module, part number 20815898, is the definitive solution to restore your vehicle’s functionality and peace of mind.
This isn’t just a replacement part; it’s a complete, ready-to-install solution. We pre-program the module to your vehicle’s specific Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) before shipping.

Simply provide your VIN after purchase, and we’ll handle the rest.

Why Choose Our Programmed 2010 Escalade Body Control Module?
This module is a direct-fit replacement for a wide range of GM trucks, vans, and SUVs, including the Cadillac Escalade, Chevy Tahoe, GMC Yukon, and many more. By ordering from us, you bypass the need for expensive dealership programming tools. We ensure the unit arrives at your door ready for installation. After installation, some vehicles may require a simple relearn procedure, such as for the brake pedal position sensor or airbag system, which can often be done with a high-level scan tool. We provide clear information on these potential post-installation steps to ensure a smooth repair process.
Please Note: While this module is programmed to be plug-and-play, certain post-installation procedures may be necessary depending on your specific vehicle’s configuration.
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is illuminated after installation, a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure must be performed with a professional diagnostic tool to sync the systems.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: A recalibration of the brake pedal position sensor may be required to ensure correct brake light operation and to clear any related trouble codes.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to have this BCM programmed by a dealer?
No. This is the primary benefit of our service. We program the Body Control Module to your vehicle’s VIN before we ship it, so it’s ready for installation right out of the box.
How do I provide my vehicle’s VIN?
After you complete your purchase, you will need to send us your 17-digit VIN. We cannot program and ship the module without it. Please double-check your VIN for accuracy to ensure proper programming.
What does the Body Control Module do?
The BCM acts as the brain for your vehicle’s body-related electronic accessories. It controls functions like power windows, power locks, lighting, security systems, wipers, and more.
What if the airbag light comes on after I install the new BCM?
This is a known possibility. It means the new BCM needs to be electronically ‘introduced’ to the airbag system’s computer (SDM). A technician with a professional scan tool will need to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure to resolve this.
Is this module compatible with other part numbers?
Yes, this BCM is a direct replacement for a long list of part numbers, including 25892622, 22860591, 15921353, and many others listed in the description. Matching your part number ensures perfect compatibility.
