Is your 2010 GMC Yukon experiencing bizarre electrical problems? The Body Control Module (BCM) is the central nervous system for your vehicle’s electronics, and when it fails, it can cause a wide range of frustrating issues. This is a direct replacement, VIN-programmed Body Control Module that restores full functionality to your vehicle’s systems. We flash this module with the latest GM software updates using your vehicle’s VIN, ensuring it’s ready for installation right out of the box, eliminating the need for expensive dealership programming.
From the Diagnostic Bay
We had a 2010 Tahoe (a sibling to the Yukon) come in with a laundry list of complaints. The radio would turn on and off, the power locks worked intermittently, and the ‘Service Theft Deterrent System’ message was constantly on. The owner had already replaced the battery and checked fuses. After hooking up our diagnostic tool, we saw multiple communication loss codes pointing to the BCM. By installing a VIN-programmed 2010 Yukon Body Control Module, we resolved all the seemingly unrelated issues in one go. It’s a perfect example of how this single component can wreak havoc on the entire vehicle.
Common Symptoms of a Failing BCM
- ✔ Erratic or non-functional power windows, door locks, and interior lights.
- ✔ Dashboard warning lights flickering or staying on, including the security light.
- ✔ The ‘Service Theft Deterrent System’ message appears on the dash.
- ✔ Wipers or headlights activating on their own.
- ✔ The vehicle won’t start, but the engine still cranks.
- ✔ Remote key fob stops working correctly.
- ✔ Communication failures with other vehicle modules.

Post-Installation Procedures
While this module is programmed to your VIN, some vehicles may require on-car relearn procedures after installation. These are typically simple and can sometimes be completed without special tools, though a professional scan tool is recommended for certain steps.
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is illuminated after installation, a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure is necessary. This requires a professional-grade diagnostic tool to sync the new BCM with the airbag system.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: A recalibration of the brake pedal position sensor may be needed to ensure proper brake light operation and to satisfy the traction control system.
Disclaimer: Specific procedures can vary by vehicle. Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician for guidance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to program this BCM?
No. We pre-program the module to your vehicle’s specific 17-digit VIN before we ship it. It arrives ready for installation.
What information do you need from me?
After your purchase, you will need to provide us with your vehicle’s VIN so we can program the BCM correctly.
What if my airbag light comes on after I install it?
This is not uncommon. It means the new BCM needs to be synchronized with the airbag system (SDM). This requires a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure, which must be done with a professional diagnostic tool.
Is this a difficult part to replace myself?
For the 2010 Yukon, the BCM is typically located under the steering column. While the physical replacement is straightforward for someone with basic mechanical skills, be aware that post-installation relearn procedures may be necessary as mentioned above.
Will this fix the ‘Service Theft Deterrent System’ message?
A faulty BCM is one of the most common causes for this specific error message on GM vehicles. While not a guarantee for every case, replacing a bad BCM with our programmed unit very often resolves this issue.
