Restore Full Functionality to Your GM Vehicle
Are you dealing with baffling electrical issues in your 2010 GMC Yukon? One minute the power windows work, the next they don’t. Maybe the security light is flashing, the radio acts possessed, or worse, the vehicle refuses to start. These aren’t random glitches; they’re classic signs of a failing Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM is the central hub for your vehicle’s body electronics, and when it malfunctions, it can create a cascade of frustrating and unpredictable problems. This isn’t just an inconvenience—it’s a matter of reliability and safety.
We offer a dependable and straightforward solution: a replacement Body Control Module, professionally programmed with the latest GM software updates specifically for your vehicle’s VIN. Forget about expensive dealership visits and the hassle of coordinating programming after the part arrives. We handle the critical software flashing for you, so you receive a part that is ready for installation right out of the box. This service ensures your vehicle’s options and security systems integrate correctly from the start.
Case Study: A Tricky Diagnosis
I remember a 2010 Yukon that rolled into my bay with a laundry list of complaints from the owner. The dash lights would flicker intermittently, the power locks had a mind of their own, and the remote start had stopped working entirely. The owner had already replaced the battery and checked all the fuses. After connecting my scan tool, I found a slew of communication errors (U-codes) pointing to a network problem. In my 20+ years of experience, this pattern almost always leads back to the BCM. After confirming power and ground to the module were solid, we installed a VIN-programmed BCM. Instantly, all the electrical gremlins vanished. It’s a perfect example of how one faulty module can disrupt the entire vehicle, and why a correctly programmed replacement is the only real fix.
Common Signs of a Failing BCM
If your vehicle is exhibiting any of these symptoms, a faulty BCM is the likely culprit. Replacing it with our pre-programmed unit can resolve these issues:
- âś” Erratic or non-functional power windows, door locks, and interior lights.
- âś” The security or anti-theft light stays on, preventing the engine from starting.
- âś” Dashboard gauges behaving erratically or not working at all.
- âś” Horn honking unexpectedly or not working when pressed.
- âś” Diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) related to communication loss, such as U0140, U0155, or other U-codes.
- âś” Problems with the HVAC (heating and air conditioning) controls.
A Straightforward Guide to Installation
Installing your new 2010 Yukon Body Control Module is a manageable job for a DIY enthusiast. For the 2010 Yukon, the BCM is typically located under the driver’s side of the dashboard, near the steering column. Always verify the location for your specific model.
- Safety First: Disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery and wait a few minutes to ensure all systems are powered down.
- Locate the BCM: Access the area under the driver’s side dashboard. You may need to remove a lower dash panel for easier access.
- Disconnect the Module: Carefully unplug the electrical connectors from the old BCM. These connectors have locking tabs that must be pressed to be released. Do not force them.
- Remove the Old BCM: Unbolt or unclip the old module from its mounting bracket.
- Install the New BCM: Mount your new, pre-programmed BCM in the same location and securely reconnect all electrical connectors.
- Reconnect Battery: Reattach the negative battery terminal.
- Perform Final Checks: Turn the key to the ‘On’ position and test all body functions—windows, locks, lights, radio, etc.—to confirm proper operation. Follow the post-installation procedures below if needed.
Important Post-Installation Information
While this module is programmed to your VIN, some vehicle systems may require a relearn or synchronization procedure after installation. This is a normal part of the repair process.
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is illuminated after installation, a professional scan tool is needed to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure. This syncs the new BCM with the airbag system.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: On some models, a brake pedal position sensor recalibration may be necessary to ensure correct brake light operation and to prevent issues with the traction control system.
Disclaimer: Vehicle systems and procedures can vary. We always recommend consulting a factory service manual or a certified technician for specific instructions related to your vehicle.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the ‘Cloning Service’ mean?
We program this replacement module with the latest factory software using the VIN you provide. This ensures it communicates correctly with your vehicle’s specific systems and options, much like the original unit did. It’s a plug-and-play solution that eliminates the need for a trip to the dealer for programming.
Do I need to send my original BCM to you?
No, you do not need to send your original module to us. We program the replacement unit using your VIN. Per our policy, we always return the customer’s original module if it is sent to us; we do not keep cores.
Will this fix my ‘Service Theft System’ message?
In many cases, yes. A failing BCM is a very common cause of false security system alerts and no-start conditions related to the anti-theft system. This VIN-programmed module is designed to correctly integrate with your vehicle’s security, resolving these communication-based issues.
Is any special programming required after I install it?
Our pre-programming handles the main setup. However, as noted in our post-installation steps, certain subsystems like the airbag (SRS) or brake pedal position sensor may require a ‘relearn’ procedure with a professional scan tool to fully sync with the new BCM. This is only necessary if you experience specific warning lights after installation.
What if my part number is not on the list but my vehicle is?
If your vehicle model and year are listed in our fitment guide, this module is highly likely to be the correct one, as GM often consolidates part numbers. However, for 100% confidence, we strongly recommend matching the part number from your original BCM to one of the numbers in our compatibility list.
