Is Your Escalade Experiencing Strange Electrical Problems?
If your 2010 Cadillac Escalade ESV is suffering from a mind of its own—with flickering lights, malfunctioning power windows, a dead instrument cluster, or a security system that prevents it from starting—the culprit is often a failing Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM acts as the central computer for your vehicle’s body electronics, and when it fails, it can cause a wide range of frustrating and unpredictable issues. Don’t let electrical gremlins sideline your luxury SUV. This is the direct, reliable solution you need.
Why Choose Our Pre-Programmed 2010 Escalade ESV BCM?
This isn’t just a replacement part; it’s a complete, ready-to-install solution. We take a genuine OEM BCM and flash it with the latest official GM software updates, specifically programmed to your vehicle’s unique VIN. This critical step ensures that the module communicates perfectly with your Escalade’s existing systems, retaining all original features and functions. You get a part that is plug-and-play, saving you from expensive dealership programming fees and complex setup procedures.
Common Symptoms of a Failing BCM
- ✔ Power windows, mirrors, or door locks operating intermittently or not at all.
- ✔ Interior dome lights or exterior lights staying on or not turning on.
- ✔ Erratic instrument cluster behavior, such as gauges dropping to zero.
- ✔ The anti-theft or security system light flashing, causing a no-start condition.
- ✔ HVAC (heating and air conditioning) controls not responding.
- ✔ Diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) related to U-codes or loss of communication.
Installation and Post-Install Notes
Installation is straightforward for a DIYer with moderate experience or any professional technician. The BCM is typically located under the steering column. While our VIN programming makes this a plug-and-play repair, some GM vehicles may require simple post-installation relearn procedures. As noted in our conditional information, this could include an ‘Airbag System Sync’ if the airbag light appears, or a ‘Brake Pedal Position Relearn’. These procedures can be completed with a bi-directional professional scan tool. There is no core charge for this module, so you can keep your original part.
This module is a direct replacement for a wide range of part numbers, including: 10382479, 15093910, 15276271, 15299986, 15819552, 25847589, 25892622, and many more. Please verify your part number is on the list to ensure compatibility.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Body Control Module (BCM) do?
The BCM is a computer that controls many of your vehicle’s non-engine related electronic features, such as power windows, locks, lights, security system, wipers, and climate controls. It’s the command center for passenger comfort and convenience systems.
Why do you need my VIN?
Your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) allows us to program the BCM with the exact software and settings specific to your 2010 Escalade ESV’s factory options. This ensures seamless integration and proper function of all features, making the installation plug-and-play.
Is this part difficult to install?
The physical replacement is typically simple, involving unplugging the old module and plugging in the new one. It’s usually located under the driver’s side dash. While the process is straightforward, some vehicles may require a ‘relearn’ procedure with a professional scan tool for systems like the airbags or brake sensor.
Do I have to send my old BCM back?
No. There is no core charge on this part. You can keep your old module.
What if my airbag light is on after I install the new BCM?
This can happen on some models. It simply means the new BCM needs to be electronically introduced to the airbag system (SDM). A technician with a professional scan tool can perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure to sync the modules and turn off the light.
