Restore Full Electronic Functionality to Your 2010 GMC Yukon
Is your 2010 GMC Yukon experiencing bizarre electrical problems? From flickering lights and malfunctioning power windows to a persistent security system warning, these issues often point to a failing Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM acts as the central nervous system for your vehicle’s comfort and convenience features, and when it fails, it can make driving frustrating and unpredictable. This replacement Body Control Module is the definitive solution to restore your vehicle’s electronic systems to perfect working order.
Expert Pro Tip
Before condemning your BCM, perform a thorough check of your vehicle’s battery and main ground connections. A weak battery, corroded terminals, or a loose body ground can cause voltage fluctuations that mimic the symptoms of a faulty BCM. Verifying these components first can save you time and money.
Is Your 2010 Yukon Body Control Module Failing?
A faulty BCM can manifest in numerous ways, often creating a cascade of confusing electrical gremlins. If you’re noticing any of the following, it’s a strong indicator that your BCM needs replacement:
- ✔ Power windows, door locks, or mirrors operating intermittently or not at all.
- ✔ Interior dome lights, headlights, or taillights behaving erratically (staying on, not turning on, or flickering).
- ✔ The security system light is illuminated, or the vehicle’s anti-theft system prevents it from starting.
- ✔ Windshield wipers activating randomly or not responding to the switch.
- ✔ The horn sounding unexpectedly or failing to work.
- ✔ False warnings appearing on the driver information center (DIC).
- ✔ Diagnostic trouble codes related to communication loss with other vehicle modules.
A True Plug-and-Play Solution Programmed to Your VIN
Replacing a BCM isn’t just about swapping hardware. A new module must be correctly programmed to your vehicle’s specific Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and factory options to function. Our service eliminates the need for an expensive trip to the dealership. Simply provide us with your VIN after purchase, and we will program the module with the latest GM software updates for your exact vehicle. This ensures all systems communicate correctly right out of the box, making installation straightforward for you or your mechanic.
Important Post-Installation Steps
After installing your new BCM, a couple of additional procedures may be necessary to ensure all systems are fully synchronized. These are standard steps when replacing a BCM on these GM platforms.
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is on after installation, a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure is required. This syncs the new BCM with the airbag system’s Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM) and must be done with a professional-grade scan tool.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: To ensure accurate brake light operation and proper function of the traction control and stability systems, a brake pedal position sensor relearn might be needed.
Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician for vehicle-specific instructions.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Body Control Module do on my 2010 Yukon?
The BCM is a computer that manages a wide range of non-engine related functions in your vehicle. This includes the power windows, door locks, interior and exterior lighting, security system, wipers, and various other comfort and convenience features.

How do I provide my Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)?
After you complete your purchase, you will receive instructions on how to send us your 17-digit VIN. We cannot ship your part until we receive this information, as the programming is essential for the module to work in your vehicle.
What happens if I don’t perform the post-installation procedures?
If required for your vehicle, skipping these procedures can lead to persistent warning lights and system malfunctions. For example, not syncing the airbag system will leave the airbag warning light on. Not performing the brake pedal relearn could affect brake light and traction control functionality.
Do I need to send my old BCM back?
