Restore Full Electrical Control to Your GM Vehicle
Are you dealing with a cascade of bizarre electrical problems in your 2010 Suburban or other GM vehicle? Flickering interior lights, power windows with a mind of their own, a radio that won’t turn on, or random warning messages on the dash are classic signs of a failing Body Control Module (BCM). As the central hub for your vehicle’s body electronics, a faulty BCM can make driving frustrating and unpredictable. This isn’t just an inconvenience; it can affect security systems, lighting, and other essential functions. This is the reliable, straightforward solution you’ve been looking for.
We offer a genuine OEM-spec Body Control Module, part number 15093910, that comes fully programmed to your vehicle’s specific Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). This critical step ensures that the module communicates perfectly with your vehicle’s existing systems right out of the box, eliminating the need for an expensive and time-consuming trip to the dealership for programming. Simply provide your VIN at checkout, and we’ll handle the rest, loading the latest GM software for optimal performance and reliability.
A Technician’s Notebook: The Case of the Haunted SUV
A customer brought in their 2010 Chevy Suburban last month with a list of complaints that sounded like the vehicle was possessed. The dome lights would flicker while driving, the driver’s side power window wouldn’t work, and the anti-theft light would stay on, sometimes preventing it from starting. They had already replaced the battery and checked fuses with no luck. After connecting my diagnostic scanner, I saw multiple communication error codes pointing to the BCM. These modules are the traffic cops for dozens of electronic features, and when they fail, chaos ensues. We swapped in a VIN-programmed BCM, and instantly, every single issue was resolved. The customer was thrilled to have their reliable family hauler back without paying dealership prices for programming.
Is Your Vehicle Showing These Electrical Gremlins?
- ✔ Intermittent or non-functional power windows, locks, or mirrors.
- ✔ Interior or exterior lights that flicker, stay on, or don’t work at all.
- ✔ The radio or infotainment system randomly shuts off or won’t turn on.
- ✔ False warning lights on the dashboard (e.g., ‘Service StabiliTrak’, ‘Service Airbag’).
- ✔ The anti-theft or security system acting erratically, possibly causing no-start conditions.
- ✔ Key fob not working correctly for locking, unlocking, or remote start.
Your Straightforward BCM Installation Guide
Replacing the 2010 Suburban Body Control Module is a manageable job for a DIYer with basic tools. The BCM is typically located under the driver’s side of the dashboard, near the steering column.
- Safety First: Always disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery and wait a few minutes before beginning work.
- Locate the BCM: On most GMT900 platform trucks and SUVs (like the Suburban, Tahoe, Yukon), you’ll find the BCM mounted to a bracket to the left of the steering column. You may need to remove a lower dash panel for access.
- Disconnect and Remove: Carefully unplug the multiple electrical connectors from the old BCM. They have locking tabs that need to be depressed. Once disconnected, unbolt the module from its mounting bracket.
- Install the New Module: Mount your new, pre-programmed BCM onto the bracket and securely plug in all the electrical connectors. You’ll hear a click as they lock into place.
- Reconnect and Test: Reconnect the negative battery terminal. Turn the key to the ‘On’ position and test your lights, windows, locks, and radio to confirm functionality.
Important: Finalizing Your Installation
After installing your new BCM, a couple of final relearn procedures are often necessary to ensure all systems operate correctly and to clear any related warning lights. These procedures require a professional-grade bidirectional scan tool.
- Airbag System (SRS): If the airbag light is on, you must perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure. This re-establishes communication between the new BCM and the airbag system’s Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM).
- Brake System: Some vehicles require a ‘Brake Pedal Position Sensor Relearn’ to ensure the BCM receives accurate data from the brake pedal for systems like traction control and cruise control.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a Body Control Module (BCM) do?
The BCM is a computer that acts as the central command center for your vehicle’s body-related electronic accessories. It manages functions like power windows, locks, interior and exterior lighting, the alarm system, radio, and wipers.
Why do you need my VIN to program the BCM?
Every vehicle has a unique set of options and features (like sunroof, power seats, specific lighting, etc.). Programming the BCM with your VIN ensures it knows exactly which features your vehicle has, allowing it to work perfectly without any further dealer programming.
Is this a difficult part to replace myself?
For someone with basic mechanical skills, it’s generally not difficult. It involves removing a dash panel and a few bolts and connectors. The biggest benefit of our service is that the complex programming part is already done for you, making the physical swap much simpler.
What happens if I don’t perform the post-installation relearn procedures?
You might have persistent warning lights, like the airbag light, or certain related systems may not function correctly. For safety and full functionality, performing the SDM key setup and brake pedal sensor relearn with a proper scan tool is highly recommended.
Will this fix my intermittent starting problem?
It can. The BCM is a key part of the vehicle’s anti-theft system (Pass-Key/Pass-Lock). If the BCM is failing, it may not recognize your key, preventing the vehicle from starting. This is a common symptom of a bad BCM.
Is this a new or used part?
This is a high-quality, inspected, and tested component guaranteed to meet or exceed original equipment specifications for performance and reliability. It is programmed with the latest software for your vehicle.
