Is Your 2010 Yukon Experiencing Strange Electrical Issues?
If your GMC Yukon is acting possessed—with flickering lights, malfunctioning power windows, or a security system that has a mind of its own—a failing Body Control Module (BCM) is the most likely culprit. The BCM is the central nervous system for your vehicle’s electronic accessories. It controls everything from the interior lights and power locks to the instrument cluster and security system. When it fails, it can create a cascade of frustrating and unpredictable problems that can be difficult to diagnose.
Expert Pro Tip
Before condemning your BCM, always perform a full vehicle health check. Ensure your battery is fully charged and the terminals are clean and tight. Also, inspect the main BCM ground wires for corrosion or looseness. A poor ground or low voltage can mimic BCM failure symptoms and is a much simpler fix. A quick check can save you time and money.
Common Symptoms of a Failing 2010 Yukon Body Control Module
- ✔ Intermittent or non-working power windows, door locks, and mirrors.
- ✔ Interior or exterior lights staying on, not turning on, or flickering randomly.
- ✔ The security system or anti-theft light flashing, preventing the vehicle from starting.
- ✔ Erratic behavior from the dashboard gauges or warning lights.
- ✔ Radio or climate control systems not functioning correctly.
- ✔ Key fob not responding or working intermittently.
- ✔ Communication errors with other vehicle modules, triggering multiple diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs).
The Simple, Dealer-Free Solution
Don’t let a faulty BCM keep your truck off the road. This is a direct-fit replacement Body Control Module, part number 25847589, for your 2010 Yukon Body Control Module and a wide range of other GM vehicles. The biggest challenge with replacing a BCM has always been the expensive and time-consuming programming required at a dealership. We eliminate that hassle entirely. By providing us with your vehicle’s VIN during checkout, we will program the module with the latest official GM software specific to your vehicle’s configuration. This ensures that when the BCM arrives, it’s ready for a straightforward installation.
Installation and Post-Install Steps
Once you receive your pre-programmed module, the physical installation is typically plug-and-play. However, depending on your vehicle’s specific systems, a couple of simple relearn procedures may be necessary to fully sync the new BCM with other modules in your vehicle.
- Airbag System Sync: In some cases, the airbag warning light may illuminate after installation. This is because the new BCM needs to be electronically ‘introduced’ to the SDM (Sensing and Diagnostic Module). A professional scan tool is required to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure to resolve this.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: To ensure proper brake light and traction control functionality, a brake pedal position sensor recalibration might be needed. This is also performed with a capable diagnostic tool.
This module is a reliable solution to restore full functionality to your vehicle’s electronics. By handling the programming for you, we save you hundreds of dollars in dealership fees and get you back on the road faster.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a Body Control Module do on my 2010 Yukon?
The BCM acts as the central computer for your vehicle’s body electronics. It manages non-engine related functions like power windows, locks, interior/exterior lighting, security system, climate controls, and more, ensuring all these comfort and convenience features work together seamlessly.
Why do you need my VIN number?
Your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) allows us to access the specific build data for your truck. We use this to load the correct GM software and settings onto the BCM, ensuring it works perfectly with the options and features your vehicle was built with. This makes the installation process as simple as possible.
Is this BCM difficult to install?
For someone with moderate mechanical skill, the physical replacement is straightforward. The BCM is typically located under the steering column or dash. The main challenge is usually the programming, which we handle for you. Some post-installation relearn procedures, like for the airbag or brake systems, may require a professional scan tool.
Do I need to send my old BCM back?
No. This product comes with no core charge. You can keep your original module, which can be helpful for reference or as a backup.
What happens if my airbag light is on after I install this?
If the airbag light comes on, it means the new BCM needs to be synchronized with your vehicle’s airbag system computer (SDM). A technician with a professional-grade scan tool will need to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure to turn off the light.
