Is your 2010 Cadillac Escalade suffering from mysterious electrical problems? A failing Body Control Module, or BCM, is often the culprit. The BCM acts as the central nervous system for your vehicle’s body electronics, controlling everything from power windows and locks to interior lighting and security systems. When it starts to fail, it can cause a wide range of frustrating and difficult-to-diagnose issues. This replacement BCM is the reliable, straightforward solution to restore your vehicle’s proper function.
This isn’t just a part in a box. We provide a complete, ready-to-install solution. Upon purchase, simply provide us with your vehicle’s VIN, and our technicians will program the module with the latest GM software specific to your Escalade. This critical step ensures compatibility and avoids the need for expensive dealership programming, making the installation process as simple as possible.
Common Symptoms of a Failing BCM
- ✔ Erratic or non-functional power windows, door locks, or mirrors.
- ✔ Interior or exterior lights (headlights, dome lights) that stay on, flicker, or won’t turn on.
- ✔ The security system engaging randomly or preventing the vehicle from starting.
- ✔ Dashboard warning lights, such as the airbag or service stability system light, illuminating without a clear cause.
- ✔ HVAC (heating and air conditioning) controls not responding.
- ✔ Intermittent no-start conditions or communication loss with other vehicle modules.

Installation and Post-Install Notes
While this module is designed for plug-and-play installation, some GM vehicles may require simple post-installation relearn procedures. These can typically be performed with a capable bi-directional scan tool.
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is on after installation, a procedure called ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ is needed to sync the new BCM with the airbag system. This is only required if the light appears.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: On some models, a brake pedal position sensor recalibration may be necessary to ensure correct brake light operation and traction control function.
Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician for vehicle-specific procedures.
