Are you experiencing frustrating and unpredictable electrical problems in your 2010 Cadillac Escalade EXT? Issues like flickering lights, malfunctioning power windows or locks, or random warning indicators on your dash are often signs of a failing Body Control Module (BCM).

Installation and Post-Install Notes
Installation is typically straightforward, as the BCM is located under the steering column. Once installed, most functions will be immediately restored. However, in some cases, additional steps may be needed:
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is on 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: Some models may require a brake pedal position sensor relearn to ensure correct brake light and traction control operation.
We offer this unit with no core charge, so you can keep your original module without the hassle of returning a core.
