Is Your Escalade Experiencing Strange Electrical Problems?
The Body Control Module, or BCM, is the central command center for your 2010 Cadillac Escalade’s electronic accessories. It manages everything from your power windows and locks to the interior lights, security system, and even aspects of the ignition system. When the BCM starts to fail, it can cause a cascade of confusing and frustrating issues that can be difficult to diagnose. If your luxury SUV is acting possessed, a faulty BCM is a likely culprit.
We had a 2010 Escalade come into the shop with a bizarre list of complaints. The radio would turn on and off by itself, the driver’s side power window wouldn’t work, and the security light would stay on, sometimes preventing the vehicle from starting. The owner had already replaced the battery and checked all the fuses. After connecting our diagnostic scanner, we saw multiple communication error codes pointing to the BCM. A replacement, VIN-programmed 2010 Escalade Body Control Module resolved all the issues at once, restoring the vehicle’s functionality and the owner’s peace of mind.
Common Symptoms of a Failing BCM:
- ✔ Erratic or non-functional power windows, door locks, or mirrors.
- ✔ Interior or exterior lights staying on, flickering, or not working at all.
- ✔ The security system acting up, causing alarm or no-start conditions.
- ✔ Intermittent operation of the radio or climate controls.
- ✔ Warning lights on the dashboard, such as the airbag or service vehicle light.
- ✔ A complete loss of power to multiple electronic accessories simultaneously.

Important Post-Installation Information
While this module is delivered ready for installation, some vehicles may require additional relearn procedures after the BCM is installed. These are simple steps for a qualified technician with a professional 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: To ensure proper brake light and traction control function, a brake pedal position sensor recalibration may be required.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Body Control Module (BCM) do on my Escalade?
The BCM acts as the brain for your vehicle’s body electronics. It controls non-engine related functions like power windows, locks, lights, security system, wipers, and the radio.
Do I need to get this BCM programmed by a dealer?
No. We pre-program the module to your vehicle’s specific VIN before shipping it to you. This makes it a true plug-and-play solution, saving you time and money.
Where is the BCM located on a 2010 Cadillac Escalade?
On the 2010 Escalade, the Body Control Module is typically located under the driver’s side dashboard, near the steering column.
What happens if I forget to provide my VIN?
We cannot ship your order without your VIN. The programming is essential for the module to function correctly with your vehicle’s specific options and security system. We will contact you to retrieve the VIN if it’s not provided at checkout.
Is this a guaranteed fix for my airbag light?
If the airbag light is on due to a communication fault with the old BCM, this will likely solve the root cause. However, as per safety protocols, the airbag system (SDM) will need to be electronically re-synced to the new BCM using a diagnostic tool to clear the light.
