Restore Your Tahoe’s Electrical System with a Plug-and-Play Solution
Are you battling frustrating electrical problems in your 2010 Chevrolet Tahoe? Issues like flickering dashboard lights, malfunctioning power windows and locks, or a security system that acts up on its own are often caused by a failing Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM is the central command center for your vehicle’s body electronics, and when it starts to fail, it can create a cascade of confusing and intermittent problems. This replacement Body Control Module is the definitive solution to restore your vehicle’s functionality and peace of mind.
Symptoms of a Failing 2010 Tahoe Body Control Module

Post-Installation Requirements
While this module is programmed for your vehicle, some systems may require a ‘relearn’ or synchronization procedure after installation. This is a normal part of the process for many modern vehicles.
- 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: To ensure correct brake light and traction control operation, a brake pedal position sensor recalibration might be necessary.
Specific procedures can vary by vehicle. Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician for guidance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to get this BCM programmed by a dealer?
No. We handle the programming for you before we ship the part. Just provide your vehicle’s VIN during or after checkout, and it will arrive ready for installation.
What is a BCM and what does it do?
The Body Control Module (BCM) is a computer that manages and controls many of your vehicle’s non-engine related functions, such as power windows, locks, lights, security system, and interior accessories.
How do I find my vehicle’s VIN?
Your 17-digit VIN can be found on your vehicle’s registration, insurance card, or on a plate on the driver’s side of the dashboard, visible through the windshield.
Is this part difficult to install?
The physical replacement is typically straightforward, involving disconnecting the battery and swapping the old module with the new one. However, as noted, some post-installation electronic ‘relearn’ procedures may be required with a diagnostic tool.
What if my airbag light comes on after I install it?
This is a known possibility. The new BCM needs to be electronically introduced to the airbag system (SDM). This requires a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure using a professional-grade scan tool to turn off the light.
Is there a core charge for this part?
No, there is no core charge. You can keep your original module.
