Diagnosing and Replacing Your 2010 Yukon Body Control Module
A faulty BCM can manifest in numerous ways. If you’re experiencing a combination of the issues below, there’s a high probability your BCM is the culprit. Replacing it with our pre-programmed unit is the most effective way to solve these problems permanently.
Common Failure Symptoms
- โ Erratic or non-functional interior and exterior lights.
- โ Power windows, locks, or mirrors working intermittently or not at all.
- โ Horn honking unexpectedly or not working when pressed.
- โ Vehicle security system faults or false alarms.
- โ ‘Service Electrical System’ or other warning messages on the instrument cluster.
- โ Unexplained battery drain when the vehicle is off.
- โ Communication issues with diagnostic scan tools.
Installation and Post-Install Information
While the physical installation is often straightforward, some vehicles may require additional electronic ‘relearn’ procedures to ensure all systems communicate correctly with the new BCM. These do not always need to be performed but are important to be aware of.
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is illuminated after installation, a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure must be performed with a professional-grade scan tool. This syncs the new BCM with the airbag system.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: Some models may require a brake pedal position sensor recalibration to ensure correct brake light operation and to prevent issues with the traction control system.
Disclaimer: Specific procedures can vary by vehicle. Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician for guidance.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does a Body Control Module do?
The BCM acts as the main computer for your vehicle’s comfort and convenience features. It controls power windows, locks, lights, wipers, the security system, and many other electronic functions not related to the engine.
Is this BCM difficult to install?
The physical replacement is typically simple, involving removing a few trim panels and unplugging the old module to plug in the new one. The location varies by model (e.g., under the steering column in a Yukon, in the center dash for an Express van). The main benefit of our service is that the complex programming is already done for you.
How do I provide my VIN number?
After you complete your purchase, you will receive instructions on how to send us your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). We cannot program and ship the module without it.
Will this fix my check engine light?
Generally, the BCM does not control engine functions, so it is unlikely to resolve a check engine light. The BCM addresses issues with body electronics, accessories, and security systems.
What if the airbag light comes on after I install it?
This indicates that the new BCM needs to be electronically synced with your vehicle’s airbag module (SDM). This is a simple procedure called ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ that can be completed by a repair shop with a professional diagnostic tool.
