Restore Your Truck’s Electrical System with a Plug-and-Play Solution
If you’re dealing with bizarre electrical issues in your 2010 GMC Yukon—flickering lights, power windows with a mind of their own, or random warning messages on your dash—you’re not alone. As a technician with over two decades of experience, I’ve seen these exact symptoms hundreds of times. The culprit is almost always a failing Body Control Module (BCM), the central command center for your vehicle’s comfort and convenience features. When it starts to go, it can make driving incredibly frustrating.
Don’t let a faulty BCM sideline your vehicle or force you into an expensive dealership visit. This is a direct-replacement 2010 Yukon Body Control Module that solves the problem efficiently. We take the biggest headache out of the repair: the programming. Simply provide us with your vehicle’s VIN during checkout, and our experts will program the module with the latest GM-certified software specifically for your truck. It arrives at your door ready to be installed, saving you time and the high cost of dealer programming.
Case Study: A Tricky Diagnosis
I remember a 2010 Yukon that came into my bay with a laundry list of complaints: the radio would cut out, the driver’s side power lock was inoperative, and the “Service StabiliTrak” light would come on intermittently. The owner had already replaced the battery and checked fuses with no luck. A scan showed multiple communication loss codes (U-codes) pointing to the BCM. Instead of a costly diagnostic path, we recommended a VIN-programmed BCM. The installation took less than an hour, and a quick brake pedal position relearn had the truck back to 100%. All the strange electrical gremlins were gone. This is the simple, effective fix that gets you back on the road with confidence.
Is Your GM Vehicle Showing These Symptoms?
- ✔ Intermittent or non-working power windows, door locks, or interior lights.
- ✔ Horn sounding randomly or not working at all.
- ✔ False warning lights on the instrument cluster, such as for the security system or traction control.
- ✔ Communication error codes, especially U0140 (Lost Communication With Body Control Module).
- ✔ Rapidly clicking relays from under the dash.
- ✔ Problems with the remote keyless entry (RKE) system.
A Straightforward Guide to BCM Installation
- ✔ Safety First: Disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery and wait about 10 minutes to ensure all modules have powered down completely.
- ✔ Locate the BCM: On a 2010 Yukon, the Body Control Module is typically located under the driver’s side of the dashboard, near the steering column. You may need to remove a lower dash panel for access.
- ✔ Disconnect and Remove: Carefully unplug the electrical connectors from the old BCM. They have locking tabs that need to be depressed. Once disconnected, unbolt or unclip the module from its mounting bracket.
- ✔ Install the New Module: Mount your new, pre-programmed BCM in the same location. Reconnect all the electrical connectors, ensuring they click securely into place.
- ✔ Reconnect and Test: Reattach the negative battery terminal. Turn the key to the ‘ON’ position (without starting the engine) and test your lights, locks, and windows to confirm functionality.
- ✔ Perform Relearn Procedures: Start the vehicle. If any warning lights appear (like the airbag light) or if brake lights are not functioning correctly, perform the necessary post-installation procedures as detailed below.
Post-Installation Requirements
This 2010 Yukon Body Control Module is designed for a simple installation, but some vehicle systems may require recalibration to recognize the new part. This is a normal part of the process.
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is illuminated after installation, a “Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM” procedure is necessary. This requires a professional-grade scan tool to sync the new BCM with the airbag system.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: On some models, a brake pedal position sensor relearn may be needed to ensure proper brake light operation and to clear any traction control or StabiliTrak warnings. This can also be done with a capable scan tool.
Please Note: There is no core charge for this module. You can keep your old part.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to get this BCM programmed by a dealer?
No. We handle the programming for you before we ship. Just provide your VIN at checkout, and the module will arrive with the latest GM software, ready for installation.
Where is my VIN located?
Your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) can be found on your driver’s side door jamb sticker, on your insurance card, or on the dashboard plate visible through the driver’s side of the windshield.
Is this a difficult part for a DIYer to install?
For someone with basic mechanical skills, the physical swap is straightforward. The most important part is being aware that some post-installation electronic relearn procedures, like for the airbag or brake sensor, may be necessary and require a capable scan tool.
What if my airbag light turns on after I install it?
This is a known possibility. It simply means the new BCM needs to be electronically introduced to the airbag’s computer (SDM). A procedure called “Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM” must be performed by a shop with a professional diagnostic tool to resolve this.
Do I need to send my old BCM back?
No, there is absolutely no core charge or need to return your original module.
