Restore Full Electrical Function to Your GM Vehicle
Is your 2010 Chevy Suburban 1500 experiencing a host of frustrating electrical issues? Flickering lights, unresponsive power windows and locks, or strange warning messages on the dash are all classic signs of a failing Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM is the central command center for your vehicle’s body electronics, and when it fails, it can make your truck feel possessed. This isn’t just an inconvenience; it can affect vehicle security and safety. Get back in control with this direct-fit, VIN-programmed Body Control Module, designed to restore your vehicle’s electronic systems to perfect working order.

Unlike a generic module from a parts store or salvage yard, this unit arrives at your door pre-programmed with the latest GM software updates, specifically matched to your vehicle’s VIN. This means you can bypass the expensive and time-consuming trip to the dealership for programming. Simply provide us with your VIN at checkout, and we’ll handle the rest, ensuring a smoother installation process.
From the Diagnostic Bay
We had a 2010 Tahoe come in with the owner convinced his power window master switch was bad. The driver’s window worked, but nothing else. He had already replaced the switch himself with no luck. A quick scan showed multiple communication loss codes with various door modules. Instead of chasing individual components, we went straight to the source: the BCM. A failing BCM can create these ghost-like symptoms, making you think multiple parts have failed at once. After installing a VIN-programmed BCM, every window, lock, and mirror function returned to normal. It saved the customer hundreds in unnecessary parts and diagnostic time.
Symptoms of a Failing BCM
- ✔ Intermittent or non-functional power windows, door locks, or interior lights.
- ✔ The security system or keyless entry system malfunctions.
- ✔ Erratic behavior from the dashboard gauges or instrument cluster lights.
- ✔ The horn honking unexpectedly or not working at all.
- ✔ HVAC (heater and A/C) controls not responding correctly.
- ✔ Warning lights such as the airbag or brake light illuminating for no reason.
- ✔ Communication errors when a diagnostic scan tool is connected.

Important Post-Installation Information
While this BCM is programmed for your vehicle, certain security and safety systems may require a final synchronization step after installation. These are standard procedures for this type of repair.
- 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 ensures the new BCM and the airbag system are properly synced.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: On some models, a brake pedal position sensor recalibration may be needed to ensure proper brake light operation and to prevent issues with the traction control system.
Please consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician for detailed instructions specific to your vehicle.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a Body Control Module do on my Suburban?
The BCM is a computer that manages and controls most of your vehicle’s non-engine related electronic functions. This includes power windows, door locks, interior and exterior lighting, the security system, keyless entry, and even the HVAC system. It acts as a central hub for these features.
Is this BCM ready to install right out of the box?
Yes, this module is sold as a pre-programmed service. You must provide us with your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN when you place your order. We will program the module with the latest GM software specific to your vehicle, making the installation process much simpler than using an unprogrammed unit.
Where is the BCM located on a 2010 Chevy Suburban 1500?
On the 2010 Suburban 1500, as well as the Tahoe, Yukon, and Escalade of the same era, the Body Control Module is typically located under the driver’s side of the dashboard, near the steering column.
What happens if I forget to provide my VIN?
Providing your VIN is a critical step. We cannot program and ship your BCM without it. If a VIN is not provided, your order will be delayed as we will need to contact you to get the information before proceeding.
Will I need a special scan tool after installing this part?
It’s possible. While the main programming is done, some vehicles may require a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key’ procedure for the airbag system or a ‘Brake Pedal Position Relearn’ if certain warning lights appear after installation. These procedures require a professional-grade diagnostic tool.
Do I need to return my old, faulty BCM?
No, there is no core charge for this part. You can keep your original module without any additional fees or the hassle of returning it.
