Is Your 2010 Yukon Plagued by Electrical Gremlins?
If you’re dealing with flickering lights, malfunctioning power windows, or strange warning messages on your dash, a failing Body Control Module (BCM) is likely the culprit. The BCM acts as the central hub for your vehicle’s body electronics, controlling everything from the interior lights and power locks to the security system and climate controls. When it begins to fail, it can cause a wide array of frustrating and seemingly unrelated issues, making your reliable GMC Yukon feel unpredictable.
Don’t let a faulty module sideline your vehicle. This direct-replacement Body Control Module is the definitive solution to restore full functionality and peace of mind. We take the hassle out of the repair by programming the module specifically to your vehicle’s VIN before it ships. This ensures seamless integration with your Yukon’s existing electronic systems, making installation straightforward and effective.
From the Diagnostic Bay
We recently had a 2010 Yukon in the shop with a battery that would mysteriously die every two days. The owner had already spent a small fortune replacing the battery twice and then the alternator, with no success. After performing a parasitic draw test, we traced the power drain to a BCM that was failing to enter its ‘sleep mode’ after the truck was turned off. It was constantly drawing a small amount of power, enough to drain a new battery over a weekend. Installing a correctly programmed BCM solved the phantom drain immediately, saving the customer from further unnecessary repairs.
Common Symptoms of a Failing BCM
- ✔ Erratic interior or exterior lights (flickering, staying on, or not turning on at all).
- ✔ Power windows, door locks, or mirrors operating intermittently or not at all.
- ✔ The security system engaging randomly or the key fob not working correctly.
- ✔ Horn honking unexpectedly or failing to work when needed.
- ✔ False warning lights appearing on the instrument cluster, such as for the airbag or traction control system.
- ✔ Climate control functions becoming unresponsive or behaving erratically.
- ✔ Unexplained battery drain leading to a no-start condition.

Replacing the BCM on modern vehicles isn’t as simple as swapping a part. The module must be properly configured to communicate with the other computers in your truck. Our service eliminates the need for an expensive trip to the dealership for programming. Simply provide us with your vehicle’s VIN during checkout, and our technicians will flash the module with the latest GM software specific to your 2010 Yukon. It will arrive at your door ready for installation.
Installation & Post-Install Notes:
On most 2010 GMC Yukon models, the BCM is located under the driver’s side of the dashboard, near the steering column. While the physical replacement is straightforward for a DIYer with basic tools, some electronic relearn procedures may be necessary after installation:
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is illuminated after installation, a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure must be performed with a professional-grade scan tool. This syncs the new BCM with the airbag system.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: A recalibration of the brake pedal position sensor may be required to ensure proper operation of the brake lights and traction control system.
This module is a direct replacement for a wide range of GM part numbers, including: 15299986, 10382479, 15093910, 15276271, 15819552, 15828601, 25892622, 25910474, and many others listed in the fitment guide.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does a Body Control Module do on my Yukon?
The BCM is a computer that manages and controls the electronic accessories inside the vehicle’s body. This includes power windows, locks, mirrors, lights, wipers, the security system, and even parts of the climate control and audio systems. It’s the brain behind your vehicle’s comfort and convenience features.
Why do you need my VIN?
Your vehicle’s 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) contains specific information about its factory-installed options. We use the VIN to load the exact software and calibration files from GM for your specific vehicle configuration. This ensures the BCM works perfectly right out of the box, without needing additional dealer programming.
Is this BCM difficult to install?
The physical installation is generally straightforward for someone with basic mechanical skills, typically involving removing a few dash panels and unplugging connectors. However, as noted, some post-installation electronic procedures may be required using a diagnostic scan tool to sync the module with systems like the airbags.
What happens if I don’t perform the post-installation procedures?
If required for your vehicle, failing to perform procedures like the Airbag System Sync can result in a persistent warning light on your dash. A Brake Pedal Position Relearn ensures your brake lights and traction control system function as intended for safety. We always recommend consulting a service manual or professional technician.
Is there a core charge?
No, there is no core charge for this part. You are not required to send your old, faulty module back to us.
