Restore Your GM Truck’s Electrical System with a Plug-and-Play BCM
Is your 2010 GMC Yukon or other GM vehicle acting possessed? Flickering lights, intermittent door locks, random warning messages, or a starter that just won’t engage are classic signs of a failing Body Control Module (BCM). As the central command center for your vehicle’s electronics, a faulty BCM can cause a cascade of frustrating and seemingly unrelated problems. I’ve seen it hundreds of times in my shop: a customer comes in thinking they need a new alternator, battery, and window motors, when the real culprit is this single module.
This isn’t just a replacement part; it’s a complete solution. We take the guesswork and high dealership costs out of the equation. Simply provide your vehicle’s VIN during checkout, and our technicians will program this BCM with the latest official GM software specific to your vehicle. This means it arrives at your door ready for installation, saving you a trip to the dealer and their expensive programming fees. Get your truck back to full functionality with a reliable, VIN-programmed 2010 Yukon Body Control Module.
A Technician’s Notebook: The Case of the Spooky Suburban
A customer brought in a 2010 Suburban with a laundry list of complaints: the radio would turn off randomly, the “Service StabiliTrak” light was on, and the power liftgate had a mind of its own. They had already replaced the battery with no luck. A quick scan with my pro-level tool showed a slew of U-codes (communication errors) pointing to the BCM. Instead of just swapping the part, we confirmed power and ground to the module were solid. The diagnosis was clear: internal BCM failure. Installing a VIN-programmed module like this one cleared all the codes and restored every function perfectly on the first try. It’s a common failure, and this is the right way to fix it.
Is Your Vehicle Showing These Symptoms?
A failing BCM can manifest in many ways. If you’re experiencing any of the following, it’s a strong indicator that your BCM needs attention:
- ✔ Erratic interior or exterior lights (flickering, staying on, or not working at all).
- ✔ Power windows, door locks, or security system malfunctioning.
- ✔ Instrument cluster warnings like “Service StabiliTrak,” “Service Traction Control,” or a flashing security light.
- ✔ The engine won’t crank or has intermittent no-start conditions.
- ✔ Communication Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs), especially U-codes like U0100, U0140, or U0155.
- ✔ A/C and climate control functions are not working correctly.
A Straightforward Guide to Your BCM Installation
For the confident DIYer, replacing the BCM is a manageable job. On most GMT900 platform vehicles like the Yukon, Tahoe, and Suburban, the BCM is located under the driver’s side of the dashboard. Always consult a service manual for your specific vehicle’s location and torque specs.
- 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: On your 2010 Yukon, it’s typically mounted to a bracket to the left of the steering column, behind the lower dash panel. You may need to remove a plastic trim panel for access.
- Disconnect and Remove: Carefully unplug the electrical connectors. They have locking tabs that need to be depressed. Once disconnected, unbolt the module from its mounting bracket.
- Install the New Module: Bolt your new, pre-programmed BCM into place and securely reconnect all electrical connectors. Ensure they click into place.
- Reconnect Power: Reattach the negative battery terminal.
- Perform Relearn Procedures: Start the vehicle. Some models may require a post-installation procedure like a Brake Pedal Position Relearn or an Airbag System Sync, as detailed below.
Important Post-Installation Steps
Because this 2010 Yukon Body Control Module is pre-programmed, it simplifies the process immensely. However, depending on your vehicle’s specific configuration, a couple of quick relearn procedures may be necessary after installation. This is a normal part of the process when integrating a new module.
- ✔ 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: To ensure your brake lights and traction control system function correctly, a brake pedal position sensor relearn may be required. This can often be done with a high-end scan tool.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do you need my VIN?
Your VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) allows our technicians to program the BCM with the exact software and settings your specific vehicle requires. This ensures all features work correctly and makes the installation process as simple as possible.
Is this a simple plug-and-play installation?
Yes, for the most part. Because we program it to your VIN, you will not need a dealership to perform the initial setup. However, as with any BCM replacement, some vehicles may require additional relearn procedures for systems like the airbags or brake position sensor, which may need a professional scan tool.
Do I need to return my old BCM?
No. There is no core charge for this part. You can keep your original module.
Will this fix my ‘Service StabiliTrak’ warning light?
A faulty BCM is a very common cause for this warning on GM trucks and SUVs. While other issues can trigger this light (like a wheel speed sensor), if you’re also experiencing other electrical symptoms, replacing the BCM is a very likely solution.
What tools are required for the installation?
Basic hand tools like a socket set and trim removal tools are typically all that’s needed to physically swap the module. For any potential post-installation relearn procedures, a bi-directional professional scan tool would be required.
