Restore Full Electrical Function to Your GMC Yukon
Are you battling frustrating and unpredictable electrical problems in your vehicle? Flickering lights, malfunctioning power windows, a security system that acts up, or warning lights that won’t go away are all classic signs of a failing Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM is the central command center for your truck’s body electronics, and when it starts to fail, it can create a cascade of issues that are difficult to diagnose. This replacement module is the definitive solution to restore your vehicle’s systems to perfect working order.
From the Diagnostic Bay
We recently had a 2010 Yukon in the shop with a list of complaints that seemed completely unrelated. The dome lights would stay on, the driver’s side power lock was intermittent, and the radio would randomly shut off. The owner had already replaced the battery and checked fuses with no luck. After connecting our diagnostic tool, we saw multiple communication errors pointing to a single source: the BCM. A failing BCM can send confusing signals across the vehicle’s network, creating these ‘ghost’ problems. Installing a properly programmed 2010 Yukon Body Control Module resolved all the issues at once, saving the customer from chasing down individual component failures that didn’t exist.
Common Symptoms of a Failing BCM
- ✔ Intermittent or non-functional power windows, door locks, or mirrors.
- ✔ Erratic behavior from interior or exterior lights (flickering, staying on, or not turning on).
- ✔ Malfunctioning security system or keyless entry.
- ✔ False warnings on the dashboard instrument cluster.
- ✔ Issues with the radio, climate control, or other accessories.
- ✔ Vehicle failing to start due to anti-theft system communication failure.
- ✔ Communication error codes (U-codes) stored in the vehicle’s diagnostic system.
The Plug-and-Play Solution for Your 2010 Yukon Body Control Module
Forget the hassle and expense of a dealership visit. This Body Control Module arrives at your door ready for installation. We use your vehicle’s Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) to program the unit with the latest, most stable software updates directly from GM. This ensures that the module is a perfect match for your vehicle’s specific options and configuration, making the installation process as smooth as possible. This is a direct replacement for part number 15948438 and a wide range of other compatible GM part numbers.
Installation and Post-Install Notes
While the module is programmed for your VIN, some vehicles may require simple post-installation relearn procedures. These are typically straightforward and ensure all related vehicle systems communicate correctly with the new BCM. Common procedures include:
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag light appears after installation, a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure is needed. This syncs the new BCM with the airbag system and requires a professional-grade scan tool.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: Some models may require this recalibration to ensure proper function of the brake lights and traction control system.
We always recommend consulting a factory service manual or a qualified technician if you are unsure about any part of the installation process.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to have this BCM programmed?
No. We handle all the programming for you before shipment. Simply provide us with your vehicle’s VIN during checkout, and the module will arrive with the correct software for your specific vehicle, ready to be installed.
What does the Body Control Module actually do?
The BCM acts as the central computer for your vehicle’s body electronics. It controls non-engine-related functions like power windows, locks, lights, security system, wipers, and various other comfort and convenience features.
Is this a difficult part to install?
The physical installation is typically straightforward for someone with moderate DIY mechanical skill. The BCM is usually located under the dashboard on the driver’s side. The main challenge is accessing it. The most important part is that our pre-programming service eliminates the need for expensive dealer tools for software flashing.
What happens if I forget to provide my VIN?
We cannot ship the module without your VIN, as the programming is essential for it to function correctly in your vehicle. Our team will contact you after your purchase to ensure we get the necessary information to proceed with your order.
Do I need to send my old part back?
No, there is no core charge for this module. You can keep your original part.
