Solving Issues with Your 2010 Escalade ESV BCM
A failing BCM can manifest in numerous ways. If you’re experiencing any of the following, it’s a strong indicator that your Body Control Module needs replacement. This pre-programmed unit is designed to resolve these exact problems, restoring the luxury and convenience you expect from your Cadillac.
Common Symptoms of BCM Failure:
- ✔ Erratic or non-functional interior and exterior lights (headlights, taillights, dome lights).
- ✔ Power windows, door locks, or mirrors not working correctly.
- ✔ Intermittent or complete failure of the radio or infotainment system.
- ✔ Security system faults or the vehicle not starting due to a security lockout.
- ✔ False warning lights on the dashboard (e.g., airbag, ABS, traction control).
- ✔ Wipers operating on their own or not at all.
- ✔ Rapid battery drain when the vehicle is off.
Installation and Post-Install Notes
While this module is programmed for your vehicle, some systems may require a simple relearn procedure after installation to sync with the new BCM. This is a normal part of the process. The most common procedures are:
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is illuminated after installation, a professional scan tool is needed to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure. This syncs the new BCM with the airbag system.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: To ensure correct brake light and traction control operation, a brake pedal position sensor recalibration may be necessary.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Body Control Module (BCM) do?
The BCM is a computer that manages many of your vehicle’s non-engine related functions, such as power windows, locks, lights, security system, wipers, and climate controls. It’s the brain behind your car’s body electronics.
Do I need to program this module?
No. We handle all the programming for you before we ship the part. Simply provide your vehicle’s VIN during or after checkout, and we will flash the module with the latest GM software specific to your Escalade ESV.
Is this a difficult part to install?
The physical installation is typically straightforward, involving disconnecting the battery and swapping the module (often located under the steering column). However, some post-installation relearn procedures, like for the airbag or brake pedal sensor, may require a professional diagnostic tool.
What information do you need from me?
After you place your order, we will need your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) to program the BCM correctly. This ensures it works perfectly with your vehicle’s specific options.
Will this fix my car’s battery drain problem?
A faulty BCM is a very common cause of parasitic battery drain, as it can fail to let other modules go to ‘sleep’ when the vehicle is off. Replacing a bad BCM often resolves these mysterious battery drain issues.
