Tired of Electrical Gremlins in Your 2010 Yukon?
As a technician with over two decades of experience, I’ve seen it all. Your 2010 GMC Yukon starts acting up with bizarre electrical issues—the dome lights flicker, the power windows have a mind of their own, or the security light stays on, preventing the engine from starting. You’ve checked the battery and fuses, but the problems persist. The culprit is often the Body Control Module (BCM), the central nervous system for your vehicle’s comfort, convenience, and security features. When it fails, it can cause a cascade of frustrating and seemingly unrelated symptoms.
This isn’t just a replacement part; it’s a direct solution. We offer a genuine OEM-quality Body Control Module, part number 15921353, that arrives at your door fully programmed to your vehicle’s specific VIN. By providing us with your VIN at checkout, we load the latest GM software onto the module before it ships. This means you can bypass the expensive trip to the dealership for programming, saving you significant time and money. Restore reliable operation to your power locks, lighting, security system, and more with a part that’s ready for installation right out of the box.
A Technician’s Notebook
A customer’s 2010 Yukon came into the shop last month with a classic case of BCM failure. The complaint was intermittent no-start and the radio display going dark randomly. The battery tested fine, and the alternator was charging perfectly. A scan revealed multiple ‘Lost Communication with BCM’ codes (U-codes). Instead of a costly diagnostic rabbit hole, we identified the BCM as the point of failure. A pre-programmed module like this one had him back on the road the same afternoon, without the typical 2-day wait for a dealer appointment and programming session. It’s the most efficient fix for these specific symptoms.
Is Your Yukon Exhibiting These BCM Failure Signs?
- ✔ Intermittent or non-functional power windows, door locks, or mirrors.
- ✔ Erratic interior or exterior lighting behavior (flickering, staying on, or not working).
- ✔ The security or anti-theft light is illuminated, causing a no-start condition.
- ✔ Dashboard warning lights appearing randomly without a clear cause.
- ✔ HVAC (heating and air conditioning) controls not responding correctly.
- ✔ Remote keyless entry (fob) failing to lock or unlock the doors.
- ✔ Communication error codes stored in other modules pointing to the BCM.
Your Straightforward BCM Installation Guide
Replacing the BCM in your 2010 Yukon is a manageable job for a confident DIYer. The module is typically located under the steering column, accessible from the driver’s side footwell.
- Safety First: Disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery and wait at least 10 minutes to allow capacitors to discharge.
- Locate the BCM: On most 2010 Yukons, the BCM is mounted to a bracket 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 multiple wiring harness connectors from the old BCM. They have locking tabs that must 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 exact same position as the old one. Securely reconnect all wiring harnesses, ensuring each one clicks firmly into place.
- Post-Installation Procedures: Reconnect the battery terminal. While the module is programmed for your vehicle’s options, two critical procedures may be required. First, a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure is necessary to sync the new BCM with the airbag system and turn off the airbag light. Second, some vehicles may need a Brake Pedal Position Sensor recalibration. Both tasks require a professional-grade scan tool.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I really need to provide my VIN?
Yes, absolutely. Providing your 17-digit VIN is essential. We use it to program the BCM with the specific software and vehicle options for your 2010 Yukon, ensuring it works correctly right out of the box and communicates properly with your vehicle’s other modules.
What tools are needed for the post-installation steps?
While the physical installation requires basic hand tools, the final steps—specifically the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key’ for the airbag system and the brake pedal recalibration—require a bi-directional professional scan tool (like a Tech 2, Snap-on, or high-end Autel). Most DIY code readers cannot perform these functions. We recommend having a local mechanic perform these final steps if you don’t have access to this equipment.
Will this fix my ‘Service StabiliTrak’ message?
It can, but it’s not guaranteed. A faulty BCM can cause StabiliTrak warnings due to lost communication with the brake or steering angle sensors. However, that message can also be caused by a bad wheel speed sensor or other issues. A proper diagnosis is always recommended, but if you have other BCM-related symptoms, this is a likely solution.
Is this part a direct replacement for all the numbers listed?
Yes. GM often supersedes part numbers over time. This module, part number 15921353, is the correct, updated service replacement for all the part numbers listed in our compatibility chart, including 25892622 and 20815898.
