Restore Your Vehicle’s Electrical System with a VIN-Programmed BCM
Are you battling frustrating electrical gremlins in your 2010 GMC Yukon or another compatible GM vehicle? Issues like flickering lights, malfunctioning power windows, erratic dashboard warnings, or security system faults often point to a single culprit: a failing Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM is the central command center for your vehicle’s body electronics, and when it fails, it can cause a cascade of confusing and unpredictable problems. This isn’t just an annoyance; it can be a safety concern. Don’t let a faulty module dictate how your vehicle behaves. Take control with our reliable, pre-programmed replacement BCM.
This unit is a direct-fit solution, professionally programmed with the latest GM software updates specific to your vehicle’s VIN. This critical programming step ensures that the module communicates flawlessly with your vehicle’s other systems right out of the box, saving you a costly trip to the dealership for programming. Simply provide your VIN after purchase, and we’ll handle the rest, shipping you a module that’s ready for installation.
We had a 2010 Yukon in the shop that was driving its owner crazy. The radio would turn on and off by itself, the dome lights would stay on, and the key fob worked only intermittently. The owner had already replaced the battery and checked all the fuses. After hooking up our diagnostic scanner, we saw multiple communication errors all pointing back to the BCM. Instead of a complex and expensive diagnostic and programming session at the dealer, we installed one of our pre-programmed modules. In under an hour, all the strange electrical issues were gone. It’s a perfect example of how the right part, correctly prepared, can save hours of frustration and hundreds of dollars.
Symptoms of a Failing 2010 Yukon Body Control Module
- ✔ Intermittent or non-working power windows, door locks, or mirrors.
- ✔ Headlights, taillights, or interior lights behaving erratically (flickering, staying on, or not turning on).
- ✔ The security system or alarm randomly activating or not working correctly.
- ✔ Warning lights (like the airbag or brake light) appearing on the dash for no reason.
- ✔ Key fob not responding or working inconsistently.
- ✔ Communication issues with other vehicle modules, leading to a no-start condition in some cases.
Installation and Post-Install Considerations
While installation is straightforward for many DIY mechanics, please be aware of potential post-installation procedures. Depending on your specific vehicle, additional steps may be required to sync the new BCM with other systems. For instance, if the airbag warning light illuminates after installation, a professional scan tool is needed to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure. Similarly, a ‘Brake Pedal Position Relearn’ might be necessary to ensure proper brake light and traction control function. Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician if you are unsure.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Body Control Module do on my vehicle?
The BCM acts as the brain for your vehicle’s body electronics. It controls non-engine related functions like power windows, locks, interior and exterior lighting, security systems, and wipers.
Is this part difficult to install?
For someone with moderate mechanical skill, the physical replacement is typically not difficult as the BCM is often located under the dash. However, since it’s a critical electronic component, we recommend reviewing a service manual for your specific model. The main benefit here is that the programming is done for you.
How do I provide my VIN for programming?
After you complete your purchase, you will receive instructions on how to send us your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN. We cannot ship the module until we receive this information, as the programming is essential for it to function in your vehicle.
Do I need to send my old BCM back?
No, there is no core charge for this module. You can keep your original part.
What if my airbag light is on after I install the new BCM?
This can happen. It means the new BCM needs to be electronically introduced to the airbag system’s computer (SDM). A professional technician with a high-level scan tool will need to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure to sync the modules and turn off the light.
