Restore Full Electrical Function to Your GM Vehicle
Are you battling frustrating electrical problems in your 2010 GMC Yukon? Issues like flickering lights, power windows that won’t cooperate, a security system that acts up randomly, or an instrument cluster that seems to have a mind of its own? These aren’t just annoyances; they’re classic signs of a failing Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM is the central nervous system for your vehicle’s body electronics, and when it starts to fail, it can cause a cascade of confusing and unpredictable problems.
Don’t let a faulty BCM keep you off the road or force you into an expensive and time-consuming dealership visit. This is a direct-replacement Body Control Module, part number 15872388, that solves the biggest headache of BCM replacement: programming. We flash this module with the latest GM software specifically to your vehicle’s VIN before we ship it. This means you get a part that’s ready for installation right out of the box, saving you hundreds in dealer programming fees and days of downtime.
A Technician’s Notebook
“A customer brought in their 2010 Yukon last month with a laundry list of bizarre symptoms. The radio would turn on and off, the driver’s side power window worked intermittently, and the ‘Service StabiliTrak’ message kept appearing. They had already replaced the battery and checked fuses with no luck. My scan tool pointed to a communication breakdown originating from the BCM. Instead of a costly, multi-day repair at the dealer, we ordered one of these pre-programmed modules. The swap took less than an hour, and after performing the necessary relearn procedures, every single electrical gremlin was gone. The customer was thrilled to have their truck back to normal without the dealership hassle.”
Is Your Vehicle Exhibiting These Electrical Gremlins?
- ✔ Power windows, locks, or mirrors operating erratically or not at all.
- ✔ Interior or exterior lights flickering, staying on, or not turning on.
- ✔ The anti-theft or security system preventing the vehicle from starting.
- ✔ False warnings on the instrument cluster (e.g., ‘Service Airbag’).
- ✔ HVAC/climate control functions not working correctly.
- ✔ Unexplained battery drain that leaves you stranded.
- ✔ Complete no-start condition with no communication to the scan tool.
Your Straightforward BCM Installation Guide
Installing your new 2010 Yukon Body Control Module is a manageable job for a confident DIYer or any professional technician. The BCM is typically located under the driver’s side of the dashboard, near the steering column.
- Safety First: Always disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery and wait a few minutes to allow all systems to power down completely.
- Locate the BCM: On the 2010 Yukon and similar GMT900 platform trucks, the BCM is mounted under the dash to the left of the steering column. You may need to remove a lower dash panel for access.
- Disconnect and Remove: Carefully unplug the multiple electrical connectors. They have locking tabs that must be depressed to be released. Do not force them. Once disconnected, unbolt the module from its mounting bracket.
- Install the New Module: Mount your new, pre-programmed BCM in the same location and securely fasten it. Reconnect all electrical connectors, ensuring each one clicks firmly into place.
- Reconnect Battery: Reattach the negative battery terminal.
- Perform Final Steps: Proceed with the necessary post-installation procedures outlined below to ensure full system integration.
Critical Post-Installation Steps
After installing your new BCM, a few final steps are required to sync the module with your vehicle’s other systems. This is a normal part of the process and ensures safety and performance.
- Airbag System Reset: The airbag warning light will likely be on. You must perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure using a professional-grade diagnostic scan tool. This re-establishes the secure link between the BCM and the airbag system (SDM).
- Brake Pedal Position Sensor Relearn: Some vehicles require a recalibration of the brake pedal position sensor. This procedure ensures the brake lights and stability control system function correctly. This is also performed with a capable scan tool.
Note: If you are not equipped with a bi-directional scan tool capable of these functions, a local repair shop can typically perform these relearn procedures for you quickly.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to do any programming myself?
No. We program the module to your vehicle’s specific VIN before shipping. You will need to provide your VIN at checkout. The only remaining steps are the post-installation relearn procedures for the airbag and brake systems, which require a scan tool.
What happens if I don’t provide my VIN?
We cannot ship the module without your VIN. Programming is essential for the part to function in your vehicle, so we will contact you to get this information after your purchase to avoid any delays.
Is this a difficult part to replace for a DIYer?
For someone comfortable working under the dashboard, it is a straightforward replacement. The main challenge is often tight access. The critical part is ensuring you have access to a scan tool for the final relearn procedures.
Will this fix my ‘Service StabiliTrak’ message?
A failing BCM is a common cause for this warning, as it communicates with the stability control system. While this part often resolves the issue, the message can also be caused by other components like wheel speed sensors. Proper diagnosis is always recommended.
Is this a new or used part?
This is a high-quality, inspected, and tested used OEM part that has been professionally programmed with the latest software for your vehicle, ensuring reliable performance and perfect fitment.
