Is Your 2010 GMC Yukon Experiencing Bizarre Electrical Problems?
If your power windows have a mind of their own, your interior lights flicker, the security system acts up, or you’re seeing random warning lights on the dash, you’re likely dealing with a failing Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM is the central command center for your truck’s body electronics, and when it starts to fail, it can cause a cascade of frustrating and seemingly unrelated issues. Don’t let these electrical gremlins ruin your driving experience. This direct-replacement BCM is the reliable, straightforward solution to restore full functionality to your vehicle.
The Plug-and-Play Solution for Your 2010 Yukon BCM
Replacing a BCM used to mean a trip to the dealership for expensive programming and calibration. We’ve eliminated that hassle. When you order this module, we will flash it with the very latest GM-certified software, specifically matched to your vehicle’s unique Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). This ensures that the module communicates perfectly with all the other computers in your Yukon right out of the box. Simply provide us with your VIN after purchase, and we’ll handle the complex programming before we ship it to you. This saves you time, money, and the headache of scheduling a dealership appointment.
From the Diagnostic Bay
We had a 2010 Yukon XL come into the shop with a laundry list of complaints from the owner. The radio would randomly shut off, the driver’s side power lock wouldn’t work with the fob, and the dome lights would stay on intermittently. The owner had already replaced the battery and checked fuses with no luck. After connecting our scan tool, we saw multiple communication error codes pointing towards the BCM. Instead of a dozen different problems, it was one single point of failure. We installed a VIN-programmed BCM just like this one, and in under an hour, every single one of the mysterious electrical issues was gone. The vehicle was back to operating exactly as it should.
Common Symptoms of a Failing BCM
- ✔ Erratic or non-functional power windows, locks, and mirrors.
- ✔ Interior or exterior lights flickering, staying on, or not working at all.
- ✔ The security system or keyless entry failing to operate correctly.
- ✔ Unexplained battery drain that leaves you with a dead battery.
- ✔ False warnings on the instrument cluster (e.g., ‘Door Ajar’ light).
- ✔ Wipers or horn activating unexpectedly or not working when needed.
- ✔ Communication issues with diagnostic scan tools.
Installation and Post-Install Considerations
Physically installing the BCM is typically straightforward, often located under the steering column or dash. Once the new module is connected, most functions will work immediately. However, in some vehicles, additional synchronization steps, known as ‘relearn procedures,’ may be necessary to ensure all systems are communicating correctly. These are not required for every installation 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 scan tool. This syncs the new BCM with the airbag system’s Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM).
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: Some models may require a brake pedal position sensor recalibration. This ensures the brake lights and traction control system function as intended with the new BCM.
We provide this information to ensure you have a complete picture of the repair. For most installations, these steps are not needed, but they are simple procedures for any qualified technician if they arise.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this BCM truly plug-and-play?
Yes, for the vast majority of vehicles. Because we program it to your specific VIN before shipping, it arrives ready for installation without the need for a trip to the dealer. In a small number of cases, minor relearn procedures like the airbag sync or brake pedal sensor relearn may be required, which can be done by a technician with a capable scan tool.
Where 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 program and ship your module until we receive this information, so please provide it promptly to avoid delays.
What if the airbag light comes on after I install it?
This is a known possibility and is easily resolved. It means the new BCM needs to be electronically introduced to the airbag module (SDM). A repair shop will need to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure with a professional-grade diagnostic tool to turn off the light.
Do I need to send my old BCM back?
No. There is no core charge for this part. You can keep your original module, which can be helpful for double-checking part numbers or for your own records.
Will this fix my specific electrical problem?
This module will resolve issues directly caused by a faulty BCM. The symptoms listed above are the most common indicators. If your vehicle’s issues match this list, there is a very high probability that a new 2010 Yukon BCM is the correct solution. However, we always recommend proper diagnostics to confirm the BCM is the point of failure before ordering.
