Are you battling bizarre electrical problems in your 2010 Chevy Suburban 1500? Issues like flickering lights, malfunctioning power windows and locks, or a security system that acts up on its own are often signs of a failing Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM is the central nervous system for your vehicle’s electronic accessories, and when it fails, it can cause a wide range of frustrating and difficult-to-diagnose symptoms. This replacement Body Control Module is the definitive solution to restore your vehicle’s full functionality.
This isn’t just a replacement part; it’s a complete, ready-to-install solution. We pre-program the module to your vehicle’s specific Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) before shipping. This critical step ensures that the BCM communicates perfectly with your Suburban’s other electronic systems right out of the box, saving you from a costly and time-consuming trip to the dealership for programming. Simply provide us with your VIN after purchase, and we’ll handle the rest, loading it with the latest software updates from GM.

Post-Installation Information
While our BCMs are designed for a straightforward installation, some vehicles may require minor post-installation procedures. Please be aware of the following:
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is illuminated after installation, a professional scan tool is needed to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure. This syncs the new BCM with the airbag system.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: On some models, a brake pedal position sensor relearn may be necessary to ensure correct brake light operation and traction control function.
Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician for vehicle-specific guidance.

How do I provide my VIN?

Where is the BCM located on a 2010 Chevy Suburban?
On the 2010 Suburban 1500, the Body Control Module (BCM) is typically located under the steering column, on the driver’s side of the dashboard.
