Restore Full Electrical Control to Your 2010 Escalade ESV
Are you dealing with baffling electrical problems in your Cadillac? Flickering lights, unresponsive power locks, a security system that acts on its own, or a dashboard that lights up with random warnings are all classic signs of a failing Body Control Module (BCM). As the central computer for your vehicle’s comfort and convenience features, a faulty BCM can make driving your luxury SUV a frustrating experience. This isn’t just an annoyance; it can affect vehicle security and safety systems. Don’t let a failing module compromise your ride. We offer a reliable, direct-fit solution with this 2010 Escalade ESV BCM.
The biggest hurdle in replacing a BCM has always been the expensive and time-consuming programming required at a dealership. We eliminate that step entirely. Simply provide us with your vehicle’s VIN during checkout, and our technicians will program the module with the latest GM software specific to your 2010 Escalade ESV. It arrives at your door ready to be installed, saving you hundreds of dollars and significant downtime.
From the Diagnostic Bay
I remember a 2010 Escalade ESV that came into my shop with a laundry list of complaints. The interior lights would stay on, the driver’s side power window worked intermittently, and the remote key fob was dead. The owner had already replaced the battery and checked fuses. After connecting my scan tool, I found multiple U-codes (communication codes) pointing to the BCM. Instead of a costly dealership repair, we used one of our pre-programmed modules. The swap took less than an hour, and instantly, all the gremlins were gone. It’s a powerful fix for what seems like a complex issue.
Is Your Escalade Showing These Signs of BCM Failure?
The BCM is the nerve center for many electronic components. If you’re experiencing any of the following, your BCM is the likely culprit:
- âś” Erratic or non-functional power windows, mirrors, and door locks.
- âś” Interior or exterior lights that flicker, stay on, or won’t turn on at all.
- âś” The security system or alarm randomly activating.
- âś” Remote keyless entry (fob) not working correctly.
- âś” Dashboard warning lights (like the security light) staying illuminated.
- âś” Communication error codes, particularly U-codes like U0140, stored in the system.
- âś” Intermittent no-start conditions where the engine cranks but won’t fire up.
Your Straightforward Installation Guide
Installing your new 2010 Escalade ESV BCM is a manageable job for a confident DIYer. The BCM is typically located under the driver’s side dashboard, near the steering column.
- Safety First: Always disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery and wait a few minutes before beginning work.
- Locate the BCM: On the 2010 Escalade ESV, you’ll find the BCM mounted under the steering column. You may need to remove a lower dash panel for access.
- Disconnect and Remove: Carefully unplug the electrical connectors from the old module. They have locking tabs that need to be depressed. Once disconnected, unbolt or unclip the old BCM from its mounting bracket.
- Install the New Module: Mount your new, pre-programmed BCM in the same location and securely reconnect all electrical connectors. Ensure they click into place.
- Reconnect Power: Reattach the negative battery terminal.
- Post-Installation Checks: Start the vehicle and test all functions: lights, windows, locks, etc. Note that some vehicles may require a post-installation procedure as detailed below.
Important Post-Installation Procedures
Because this module is pre-programmed, most functions will work immediately. However, for full system integration, be aware of these potential requirements:
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is on after installation, a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure must be performed with a professional-grade scan tool. This syncs the new BCM with the airbag system.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: On some models, a brake pedal position sensor relearn may be needed to ensure correct brake light and traction control operation. This also typically requires a capable scan tool.
Disclaimer: Vehicle systems vary. Always refer to a factory service manual or a certified mechanic if you are unsure about any step.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to have this BCM programmed by a dealer?
No. We handle all the programming for you before we ship the part. Just provide your vehicle’s VIN at checkout, and it will arrive ready for installation.
What exactly does the Body Control Module do?
The BCM is a computer that manages your vehicle’s non-engine related electronic systems. This includes power windows, locks, interior and exterior lighting, the security system, and climate controls.
Where is the BCM located on my 2010 Escalade ESV?
The BCM is located inside the cabin, under the driver’s side dashboard, near the steering column.
Is there a core charge for this part?
No, there is no core charge. You are not required to send your old module back to us.
What happens if my airbag light comes on after installation?
This can happen as the new BCM needs to be synchronized with the airbag system’s computer (SDM). A mechanic with a professional scan tool will need to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure to resolve this.
What if I forget to provide my VIN?
We cannot ship your order without the VIN, as the programming is essential for the module to work with your specific vehicle. We will contact you to get the VIN before processing your order.
