Is Your GM Vehicle Plagued by Electrical Gremlins?
If you’re dealing with flickering lights, malfunctioning power windows or locks, or a security system that has a mind of its own, the culprit is likely a failing Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM is the central nervous system for your vehicle’s body electronics, and when it starts to fail, it can cause a cascade of confusing and frustrating issues. This is a common problem in many GM vehicles, including the 2010 Cadillac Escalade, Tahoe, Yukon, and various Express/Savana vans.
Common Symptoms of a Failing BCM
- ✔ Erratic or non-functional interior and exterior lights.
- ✔ Power windows, door locks, or mirrors not working correctly.
- ✔ The security system or alarm randomly activating or not setting.
- ✔ Instrument cluster warning lights (like the airbag light) illuminating for no reason.
- ✔ Key fob not being recognized or working intermittently.
- ✔ Radio or infotainment system behaving strangely.
- ✔ A “Service Stability System” or similar message on the dash.

We take the hassle out of the repair by programming the module to your vehicle’s specific VIN before we ship it to you. This ensures that it communicates correctly with your vehicle’s other computers right out of the box, saving you from expensive dealer programming fees. This module is a direct replacement for a wide range of part numbers, including 10382479, 25892622, 20815898, and many more listed in the fitment guide.
Post-Installation Information
While our programming handles the majority of the setup, some vehicles may require minor post-installation procedures. Please be aware of the following:
- Airbag System Sync: If your airbag warning light is on after installation, a simple “Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM” procedure may be needed. This is performed with a professional scan tool and syncs the new BCM with the airbag system.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: On some models, a brake pedal position sensor relearn might be necessary to ensure proper brake light and traction control operation.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why do you need my VIN?
Your vehicle’s VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) allows us to load the exact software and settings for your specific model, year, and options. This pre-programming is what makes the installation process simple and avoids the need for a trip to the dealership.
Is this part difficult to install?
The physical installation is typically straightforward. The BCM is usually located under the dashboard on the driver’s side or in the center console area. It involves disconnecting the battery, removing a few trim panels, and swapping the module. The most important part is that our pre-programming eliminates the complex computer setup.
Will this fix my specific electrical problem?
This module will resolve issues directly caused by a faulty BCM. If you are experiencing several of the symptoms listed above, there is a very high probability that the BCM is the root cause. However, we always recommend proper vehicle diagnostics to confirm the BCM is the point of failure.
Do I need to send my old BCM back?
No. This part is sold without a core charge, so you can keep your original module.
What if my airbag light comes on after I install it?
This is not uncommon. It simply means the new BCM needs to be electronically introduced to the airbag system (SDM). A technician with a capable scan tool can perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure to sync the components and turn off the light.
