Are you dealing with baffling electrical issues in your 2010 Cadillac Escalade ESV? Flickering lights, malfunctioning power windows or locks, a security system that acts up, or even a vehicle that refuses to start can all point to a single culprit: a failing Body Control Module (BCM). As the central command center for your vehicle’s body electronics, a faulty BCM can turn your premium driving experience into a daily frustration. This isn’t just an inconvenience; it can affect vehicle security and safety systems.

We take the guesswork and high dealership costs out of the equation. Simply provide us with your vehicle’s VIN during checkout, and our technicians will flash the module with the latest, most stable GM software specific to your Escalade. This ensures seamless integration and restores the reliable performance you expect.
A Technician’s Notebook: The Ghost in the Escalade
A customer brought in their 2010 Escalade ESV last month with a list of complaints that sounded like a poltergeist had taken up residence. The interior lights would pulse randomly, the driver’s side window would only work intermittently, and the alarm would go off for no reason. They had already replaced the battery and checked the main grounds. After connecting my scan tool, I saw a slew of communication error codes (U-codes) pointing to the BCM. In my 20+ years of experience, I’ve seen hundreds of these cases. Water intrusion from a leaky windshield cowl or simple internal electronic failure is common. We installed one of our VIN-programmed BCMs, performed the necessary security relearn and SDM key setup, and all the ghostly electrical problems vanished. The customer was relieved to have their truck back to normal without a massive dealership bill.
Is Your Escalade Showing These Electrical Gremlins?
- ✔ Power windows, door locks, or mirrors behaving erratically or not working at all.
- ✔ Interior or exterior lights flickering, staying on, or not turning on.
- ✔ The security system engaging randomly or preventing the engine from starting.
- ✔ Inaccurate or non-functional instrument panel gauges.
- ✔ Warning lights on the dash, especially for the airbag or security systems.
- ✔ Remote keyless entry failing to respond.
Your Straightforward BCM Installation Guide
Installing your new 2010 Escalade ESV Body Control Module is a manageable job for a confident DIYer. Follow these steps carefully for a successful replacement.
- Safety First: Always disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery before starting any electrical work.
- Locate the BCM: On the 2010 Escalade ESV, the BCM is typically located under the driver’s side of the dashboard, near 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 BCM. They have locking tabs that need to be depressed. Once disconnected, unbolt or unclip the module from its mounting bracket and remove it.
- Install the New Module: Mount your new, pre-programmed BCM in the same location. Reconnect all the electrical connectors, ensuring they click securely into place.
- Post-Installation Procedures (CRITICAL): Reconnect the battery. You will now need to perform a few key procedures. Most importantly, the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure is required to clear the airbag light and ensure the system is operational. This requires a bi-directional scan tool. Additionally, some vehicles may need a brake pedal position sensor relearn. If you are not equipped to perform these steps, a local repair shop can complete them for you.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to program this 2010 Escalade ESV Body Control Module?
No. We program the module to your vehicle’s specific VIN before shipping it. This saves you a trip to the dealership and the cost of programming.
What information do you need from me?
After you complete your purchase, you will need to provide us with your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). This is essential for us to program the BCM correctly for your specific vehicle options.
Where is the BCM located on my 2010 Escalade ESV?
The BCM is typically found under the driver’s side dashboard, attached to or near the steering column support. You will likely need to remove the lower knee bolster panel to access it.
Will this fix my ‘Service Airbag’ light?
If the light is on due to a faulty BCM, this part will resolve the root cause. However, after installation, you MUST perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure with a compatible scan tool to reset the light and re-establish communication with the airbag system.
Is any other relearn procedure required after installation?
Yes, besides the airbag system setup, some vehicles may require a Brake Pedal Position Sensor recalibration. A security relearn procedure may also be necessary to allow the vehicle to start. These are standard procedures after BCM replacement.
