Restore Full Electrical Control to Your GM Vehicle
Are you battling frustrating electrical issues in your 2010 GMC Yukon XL 1500? Do your power windows have a mind of their own, your door locks act erratically, or your security system triggers for no reason? These aren’t just minor annoyances; they are classic signs of a failing Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM is the central nervous system for your vehicle’s comfort and convenience features, and when it malfunctions, it can create a cascade of seemingly unrelated problems. This replacement Body Control Module, part number 25892622, is the definitive solution to restore order and functionality to your vehicle.
Unlike a standard part from a local store, this module comes with a crucial service: it is professionally programmed to your vehicle’s specific Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) before it ships. This means it arrives ready for installation, loaded with the latest GM software updates for your exact model. This eliminates the need for an expensive trip to the dealership for programming, saving you both time and money. Simply provide your VIN after purchase, and we handle the complex part for you.
From the Diagnostic Bay
We recently had a 2010 Tahoe come into the shop with a baffling set of symptoms. The radio would cut out intermittently, the driver’s side power window was dead, and the remote key fob would only work sporadically. The owner had already replaced the battery and checked every related fuse. After connecting our diagnostic scanner, we found multiple communication error codes all pointing back to one culprit: the BCM. It was failing internally and disrupting the entire vehicle network. By installing a VIN-programmed 2010 Yukon XL BCM like this one, we were able to resolve every single issue at once. It’s a perfect example of how one failing module can cause widespread electrical chaos.
Is Your Body Control Module Failing?
A faulty BCM can manifest in numerous ways. If you’re experiencing any of the following, it’s highly likely your BCM is the source of the problem. Replacing it can bring your vehicle’s features back to life.
- ✔ Intermittent or non-working power windows, door locks, or mirrors.
- ✔ Malfunctioning interior or exterior lights (dome lights, headlights, taillights).
- ✔ Security system or alarm randomly activating or not working at all.
- ✔ Instrument cluster lights or warning messages appearing incorrectly.
- ✔ Key fob not responding or working inconsistently.
- ✔ Issues with the heating and A/C blower motor controls.
- ✔ Vehicle’s anti-theft system preventing it from starting.
The Importance of a VIN-Programmed 2010 Yukon XL BCM
Modern vehicles like your Yukon XL rely on a network of computers that must communicate perfectly. The BCM is a key player in this network. Installing a generic, unprogrammed module will not work. It won’t recognize your vehicle’s specific options, security keys, or other electronic modules. Our service ensures that the module we send you is a perfect electronic match for your truck. It’s programmed to understand everything from your power seat settings to your specific lighting package, ensuring a seamless integration.
Installation and Post-Install Procedures
Physically installing the BCM is generally straightforward for those with mechanical experience. It is typically located under the dashboard on the driver’s side. After the new module is installed, some vehicles may require additional calibration steps, known as relearn procedures, to fully sync with other systems.
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is on after installation, a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure must be performed with a professional-grade scan tool. This syncs the new BCM with the airbag system’s Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM).
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: In some cases, a brake pedal position sensor recalibration may be needed to ensure proper brake light operation and to keep the traction control system functioning correctly.
Disclaimer: Specific procedures can vary. Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician for guidance.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I provide my vehicle’s VIN?
After you complete your purchase, you can add your VIN to the order notes or send it to us in a message. We will contact you if we don’t receive it promptly, as we cannot program and ship the module without it.
Is this module truly plug-and-play?
Because it comes programmed to your VIN, it is designed to be as close to plug-and-play as possible. However, as mentioned above, certain systems like the airbag or brake sensor may require a simple relearn procedure with a capable scan tool to complete the installation.
Do I need to send my old BCM back?
No. This product comes with no core charge. You can keep your original module without any additional fees or hassle.
What happens if I install a BCM that isn’t programmed?
An unprogrammed BCM will not function correctly. It can prevent the vehicle from starting due to security mismatches and will cause most, if not all, body-related functions to fail. Our VIN programming service is essential for proper operation.
Where is the BCM located on a 2010 Yukon XL 1500?
On the 2010 GMC Yukon XL 1500, the Body Control Module is typically located under the driver’s side of the dashboard, often near the steering column or integrated into the fuse box assembly.
