Is Your Suburban Experiencing Bizarre Electrical Issues?
If your 2010 Chevrolet Suburban is suddenly acting haunted—with flickering lights, malfunctioning power windows, or random warning chimes—a failing Body Control Module (BCM) is the most likely culprit. The BCM is the central computer for your vehicle’s body electronics, managing everything from the interior lights and power locks to the security system. When it fails, it can cause a cascade of frustrating and seemingly unrelated problems. This replacement Body Control Module, part number 15276271, is the definitive solution to restore your vehicle’s proper function.
Common Symptoms of a Failing BCM
- ✔ Power windows, mirrors, or locks operating erratically or not at all.
- ✔ Interior or exterior lights flickering, staying on, or not turning on.
- ✔ The anti-theft system engaging randomly, causing a no-start condition.
- ✔ Unresponsive key fob or remote start functions.
- ✔ False warnings on the dashboard, such as ‘Service Airbag’ or ‘Service StabiliTrak’.
- ✔ HVAC (heater and A/C) controls not working correctly.
The Simple Solution: A VIN-Programmed 2010 Suburban Body Control Module
Don’t let a faulty computer keep your SUV off the road. We make the repair process simple. This module isn’t just a part in a box; it’s a complete solution. When you order, you provide us with your vehicle’s VIN. Our technicians then program the module with the latest GM software specific to your Suburban’s configuration. This means it arrives at your door ready for installation, saving you a costly trip to the dealership for programming.
This module is a direct replacement for a wide range of GM part numbers, including 15276271, 25892622, 20815898, and many others listed in the fitment data. There is no core charge, so you can keep your old part.
Post-Installation Information
While our programming handles the critical setup, some vehicle systems may require a final handshake with the new BCM after installation. This is a normal part of the process. You may need a professional scan tool to perform a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure if the airbag light is on, or a ‘Brake Pedal Position Relearn’ for the traction control system. Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician for vehicle-specific procedures.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Body Control Module (BCM) do?
The BCM acts as the main computer for your vehicle’s comfort and convenience features. It controls the power windows, locks, lights, security system, wipers, and other electronic accessories not related to the engine.
How do I know this BCM will fit my vehicle?
This module fits a wide range of GM trucks, SUVs, and vans. Please check the extensive list of compatible part numbers in the description. Matching your original part number to one on the list ensures a perfect fit. When in doubt, contact us with your VIN.
Is this part difficult to install?
The physical installation is typically straightforward, involving unplugging the old module and plugging in the new one. Because we pre-program it to your VIN, you skip the most difficult step. However, some minor relearn procedures may be needed post-installation, which might require a mechanic’s help.
Where do I find my vehicle’s VIN?
Your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) can be found on your vehicle’s registration, insurance card, or on a small plate on the driver’s side of the dashboard, visible through the windshield.
What if my airbag light is on after I install the new BCM?
This is a common security measure. A ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure must be performed using a professional-grade scan tool to sync the new BCM with your vehicle’s airbag system. This will turn off the light.
