Is Your 2010 Tahoe Plagued by Electrical Gremlins?
If you’re experiencing strange and unpredictable electrical issues in your 2010 Chevrolet Tahoe, a failing Body Control Module (BCM) is often the culprit. The BCM acts as the central nervous system for your vehicle’s body electronics, managing everything from power windows and locks to interior lighting and the security system. When it starts to fail, it can create a cascade of frustrating problems that are difficult to diagnose.
Expert Pro Tip
Before condemning your BCM, always perform a thorough check of your vehicle’s battery and primary ground connections. A weak battery, corroded terminals, or a loose ground strap can mimic the symptoms of a faulty BCM by causing voltage drops and communication errors across the vehicle’s network. A simple check can save you time and money.
Common Symptoms of a Failing BCM
- ✔ Erratic or non-functional power windows, door locks, and mirrors.
- ✔ Interior or exterior lights staying on, flickering, or not working at all.
- ✔ The security system or alarm randomly activating or not setting correctly.
- ✔ Dashboard warning lights illuminating without a clear cause (e.g., ABS, Airbag).
- ✔ Intermittent starting problems or a no-start condition.
- ✔ Radio, climate control, or other interior accessories malfunctioning.
- ✔ Communication errors when scanning the vehicle with a diagnostic tool.

Installation and Post-Install Procedures
While this module is designed for a straightforward installation, some vehicles may require additional electronic relearn procedures after the new BCM is connected. These are standard steps to ensure all related vehicle systems communicate correctly with the new module.
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is illuminated after installation, a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure must be performed using a professional-grade scan tool. This syncs the new BCM with the airbag system’s Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM).
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: In some cases, a recalibration of the brake pedal position sensor may be necessary. This ensures the brake lights and traction control system function as intended.
Please note: Specific procedures can vary. We always recommend consulting a factory service manual or a qualified automotive technician for guidance.
