Are you battling frustrating electrical gremlins in your GM vehicle? Intermittent power windows, flickering lights, or a security system that has a mind of its own are common signs of a failing Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM is the central command center for your vehicle’s body electronics, and when it malfunctions, it can cause a wide range of confusing and unpredictable problems. This replacement Body Control Module, part number 25934763, is the definitive solution to restore full functionality and reliability to your vehicle.
We take the guesswork and hassle out of the repair process. Unlike buying a module from a salvage yard or a big-box store, this BCM comes fully programmed to your vehicle’s specific VIN. Simply provide us with your VIN after purchase, and our experts will flash the module with the latest GM software updates before it ships. This means no expensive trips to the dealership for programming, saving you time and money.
Common Symptoms of a Failing BCM

- ✔ Power windows, door locks, or mirrors working intermittently or not at all.
- ✔ Vehicle security system faults or anti-theft light staying on.

Why Choose Our Programmed 2010 Tahoe BCM?
This isn’t just a replacement part; it’s a complete, ready-to-install solution. By matching the software to your VIN, we ensure that all the specific options and features your vehicle came with from the factory will work correctly. This is a crucial step that is often overlooked. Installing a non-programmed module will result in a no-start condition or numerous features not working. Our process guarantees a seamless integration with your vehicle’s existing systems.
Installation and Post-Install Procedures
While installation is primarily plug-and-play, some vehicles may require simple relearn procedures after the new BCM is connected. These are standard processes that ensure all related systems are properly synced.
- Airbag System Sync: If your 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: To ensure correct brake light operation and traction control function, a brake pedal position sensor recalibration may be necessary.
Disclaimer: Specific procedures can vary by vehicle. Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician for guidance.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Body Control Module do on my 2010 Tahoe?
The BCM acts as the central computer for your vehicle’s body electronics. It controls non-engine related functions like power windows, locks, lights, security system, wipers, and the radio.
Do I need to get this BCM programmed by a dealer?
No! This is the key benefit of our service. We program the module to your vehicle’s VIN before we ship it to you. It arrives ready to be installed, saving you hundreds in dealership programming fees.
Where is the BCM located on a 2010 Chevy Tahoe?
On the 2010 Tahoe, the BCM is typically located under the steering column, on the driver’s side of the dashboard. Always disconnect the battery before attempting removal or installation.
What if my airbag light turns on after I install it?
This can happen. It means the new BCM needs to be electronically ‘introduced’ to the airbag system. A technician with a professional diagnostic tool will need to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure to sync the modules and turn off the light.
Will this fix my ‘Service StabiliTrak’ message?
A faulty BCM can sometimes cause StabiliTrak or traction control warnings due to communication errors. While not the only cause, if you’re experiencing other BCM-related symptoms, replacing it could resolve the issue, though a Brake Pedal Position Relearn may be required.
How do I provide my VIN?
After you complete your purchase, you will receive instructions on how to send us your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN. We cannot ship your order until we receive this information.
