The Reliable Fix for Your GM’s Electronic Headaches
If your 2010 GMC Yukon is acting possessed—with flickering lights, malfunctioning power windows and locks, or a frustrating no-start condition—the Body Control Module (BCM) is the likely culprit. As a technician with over two decades of experience, I’ve seen how a failing BCM can turn a reliable vehicle into a source of daily frustration. It’s the central hub for your truck’s body electronics, and when it goes, it takes convenience and safety features down with it.
This isn’t just a replacement part; it’s a complete, ready-to-install solution. We take the hassle and high cost of dealership repairs out of the equation. Simply provide your vehicle’s VIN at checkout, and our experts will program this BCM with the latest GM software specific to your 2010 Yukon. It arrives at your door ready for installation, saving you a trip to the dealer and expensive programming fees.
Is Your Vehicle Showing These Symptoms?
A failing BCM can cause a wide array of confusing electrical issues. Here are some of the most common signs I’ve diagnosed in the shop. If you’re experiencing any of these, a faulty BCM is the probable cause:
- ✔ Erratic or non-functional interior and exterior lights.
- ✔ Power windows, door locks, or security system operating intermittently or not at all.
- ✔ Instrument cluster gauges behaving strangely or going dark.
- ✔ “Service Stability System” or other warning messages appearing on the dash.
- ✔ The vehicle won’t start, but the battery and starter are good.
- ✔ Diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) related to communication loss, such as U0140, or various body-related B-codes.
From the Diagnostic Bay: The Case of the Haunted SUV
A customer brought in a 2010 Tahoe with a list of bizarre complaints: the horn would honk randomly, the radio would shut off, and the power locks had a mind of their own. They’d already replaced the battery twice. A quick scan showed a dozen communication codes pointing everywhere. Instead of chasing ghosts, I went straight to the BCM. After checking the power and ground pins, I found tell-tale signs of corrosion on one of the connectors, a common issue from moisture wicking down the wiring harness. A new, properly programmed 2010 Yukon Body Control Module like this one solved every single issue instantly. Always check for the root cause, but often, the module itself is the point of failure.
Your Straightforward BCM Installation Guide
For the confident DIYer or professional mechanic, swapping the BCM on a 2010 Yukon is a manageable job. The module is typically located under the driver’s side dashboard, near the steering column.
- Safety First: Always disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery and wait a few minutes for the system to discharge completely.
- Access the Module: Remove the lower dash panel beneath the steering wheel to gain access to the BCM. It’s a black box with several large electrical connectors.
- Disconnect and Remove: Carefully unplug all wiring harnesses from the old BCM. They have release tabs that need to be pressed. Once disconnected, unbolt the module from its mounting bracket.
- Install the New BCM: Mount your new, pre-programmed BCM in place and securely plug in all the electrical connectors. You should hear a click as they lock in.
- Reconnect and Test: Reinstall the dash panel, reconnect the battery terminal, and start the vehicle. Test all functions like lights, locks, and windows to ensure proper operation.
Important Post-Installation Note: In some cases, additional steps like an Airbag System Sync or a Brake Pedal Position Relearn may be required. These procedures, detailed in our FAQ, might need a professional scan tool but are often not necessary. This module comes with a no-hassle, no-core-charge policy, so you can keep your original part.

Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to do any programming myself?
No. We handle all the programming before shipping. We use your VIN to load the correct GM software and vehicle-specific information, making it a plug-and-play installation.
What is a core charge?
A core charge is a deposit you pay until you return your old part. We don’t require one! You can keep your old BCM, saving you the time and expense of shipping it back.
What if my airbag light is on after installation?
This is uncommon, but if it happens, it means the new BCM needs to be synced with the airbag’s Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM). This procedure, called ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’, requires a professional-grade scan tool to complete.
Why are my brake lights not working correctly?
Some models may require a Brake Pedal Position (BPP) sensor relearn procedure after BCM replacement. This ensures the BCM knows the exact position of the brake pedal for proper brake light and stability control function.
Is this a difficult part to install myself?
For someone with basic mechanical skills and tools, it’s a very manageable job, typically taking less than an hour. The main challenge is accessing the module under the dash. Always disconnect the battery first.
How 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 without it.
