Restore Full Electronic Functionality to Your GM Vehicle
Are you battling bizarre electrical gremlins in your 2010 Cadillac Escalade? From flickering lights and unresponsive power windows to a security system that has a mind of its own, a failing Body Control Module (BCM) is often the culprit. The BCM acts as the central nervous system for your vehicle’s body electronics, and when it falters, it can cause a cascade of frustrating and seemingly unrelated issues. This replacement Body Control Module, part number 15299986, is the definitive solution to restore order and reliability to your vehicle’s systems.
From the Diagnostic Bay
We recently had a 2010 Escalade roll in with a laundry list of complaints. The interior lights would pulse randomly, the driver’s side power lock wouldn’t work with the fob, and the dash would intermittently display a “Service Security System” warning. The owner had already replaced the battery and checked fuses to no avail. A quick scan with our diagnostic tool revealed multiple communication loss codes with the BCM. We installed one of our pre-programmed modules, and within minutes, every single issue was resolved. It’s a common failure, but seeing the relief on the owner’s face when everything just *works* again is why we do this.
Is a Failing BCM Causing Your Problems?
A faulty BCM can manifest in numerous ways. If you’re experiencing any of the following, it’s a strong indicator that your module needs replacement:
- ✔ Erratic or non-functional interior and exterior lights (headlights, taillights, dome lights).
- ✔ Power windows, door locks, or mirrors working intermittently or not at all.
- ✔ Malfunctioning security system or keyless entry.
- ✔ Instrument cluster warning lights (like the airbag or brake light) staying on.
- ✔ Radio or climate control issues.
- ✔ Vehicle not starting due to security system lock-out.
- ✔ Diagnostic trouble codes pointing to U-codes (communication errors) or B-codes (body codes).
The Simple, Programmed Solution for Your 2010 Escalade BCM
Don’t waste time and money at the dealership. We take the complexity out of the repair process. When you order this 2010 Escalade BCM, we pre-program it with the latest GM software updates using the VIN you provide. This ensures that the module is perfectly matched to your vehicle’s specific options and configuration, making installation as straightforward as possible. This service eliminates the need for expensive programming tools or a costly trip to a mechanic for software flashing.
Important Post-Installation Steps
While our programming handles the heavy lifting, some vehicles may require simple relearn procedures after installation to ensure all systems communicate correctly. These can include:
- Airbag System Sync: If your airbag warning light illuminates after installing the BCM, a technician will need to perform a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure with a professional scan tool. This syncs the new BCM with the airbag system.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: On some models, a brake pedal position sensor recalibration may be necessary to ensure proper brake light and traction control operation.
Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician for vehicle-specific procedures.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Body Control Module (BCM) do on my 2010 Escalade?
The BCM is a computer that manages and controls many of your vehicle’s electronic accessories, such as power windows, locks, lights, security system, wipers, and more. It ensures all these comfort and convenience features function correctly.
Do I need to program this replacement BCM?
No. We handle the programming for you before shipment. Simply provide your vehicle’s VIN during or after checkout, and we will flash the module with the correct software for your specific vehicle.
Is this part difficult to install?
The physical installation is typically straightforward, involving unplugging the old module and plugging in the new one. On a 2010 Escalade, it’s usually located under the steering column. However, some post-installation electronic relearn procedures, like for the airbag or brake pedal sensor, may be required.
What if my airbag light is on after installation?
This is a common occurrence. It means the new BCM needs to be electronically introduced to the airbag system’s computer (SDM). A ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure must be performed with a professional-grade scan tool 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 to us.
