Restore Your Yukon’s Electrical Brain
Are you battling frustrating electrical gremlins in your 2010 GMC Yukon XL 1500? Flickering lights, malfunctioning power windows, a haywire security system, or strange warnings on your dash are all classic signs of a failing Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM acts as the central command center for your vehicle’s body electronics, and when it starts to fail, it can cause a cascade of confusing and unpredictable issues. Don’t let a faulty module compromise your vehicle’s comfort, security, and functionality. This direct-fit BCM is the reliable, straightforward solution you need to get your truck back in perfect working order.
From the Diagnostic Bay
We had a 2010 Yukon XL come into the shop with a laundry list of bizarre symptoms. The owner said one day the radio wouldn’t turn off even with the key out, and the next, the power locks would cycle randomly while driving. He’d already replaced the battery and checked fuses with no luck. After connecting our diagnostic tool, we saw multiple communication error codes pointing to the BCM. Instead of a costly and time-consuming repair at the dealership, we installed one of our VIN-programmed modules. The installation was simple, and upon startup, every single issue was gone. The customer was thrilled to have his truck back to normal without the dealership headache.
Common Symptoms of a Failing BCM
- ✔️ Erratic or non-functional power windows, door locks, and interior lighting.
- ✔️ The security system or keyless entry works intermittently or not at all.
- ✔️ Instrument cluster gauges behave erratically or warning lights appear for no reason.
- ✔️ HVAC (climate control) system malfunctions or blows air incorrectly.
- ✔️ The radio or infotainment system behaves strangely or won’t turn off.
- ✔️ A “Service Electrical System” message appears on the driver information center.
- ✔️ The vehicle’s battery drains overnight due to a module not going to sleep.

Installation and Post-Install Notes
Installation is typically straightforward, involving basic hand tools to access the module located under the steering column. However, after installing your new 2010 Yukon XL 1500 BCM, some additional steps, known as relearn procedures, may be necessary for certain systems to function correctly.
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is illuminated after installation, a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure must be performed with a professional-grade diagnostic scan tool. This syncs the new BCM with the airbag system.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: In some cases, a brake pedal position sensor recalibration may be required to ensure proper operation of the brake lights and traction control system.
Disclaimer: Specific procedures can vary. We always recommend consulting a factory service manual or a qualified automotive technician for guidance.
