Is Your 2010 GMC Yukon Experiencing Strange Electrical Problems?
If you’re dealing with flickering lights, malfunctioning power windows, a security system that acts up, or other bizarre electrical issues, a failing Body Control Module (BCM) is the most likely culprit. The BCM is the central command center for your vehicle’s body electronics, managing everything from your interior lights and power locks to your anti-theft system. When it starts to fail, it can create a cascade of frustrating and seemingly unrelated problems.
This replacement Body Control Module is the definitive solution to restore your vehicle’s functionality and peace of mind. We take the guesswork and high dealership costs out of the equation. Before we ship the module, our technicians will program it with the latest GM software specifically matched to your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN. This ensures that when you receive the part, it’s ready for a straightforward installation, saving you time, money, and a trip to the dealer.
From the Diagnostic Bay
We recently had a 2010 Yukon in the shop with the strangest combination of issues: the radio would stay on after the key was out, the driver’s side power window worked intermittently, and the dome lights would flicker at random. The owner had already replaced the battery and checked every fuse. After connecting our diagnostic tool, we saw multiple communication errors all pointing back to the BCM. A replacement, pre-programmed module like this one resolved all the issues in under an hour. It’s often the central component causing a storm of seemingly unrelated electrical gremlins.
Common Symptoms of a Failing BCM
- ✔ Erratic power windows, mirrors, or door locks that work intermittently or not at all.
- ✔ Interior dome lights or exterior lights staying on, flickering, or not turning on.
- ✔ The horn sounding randomly or the alarm going off for no reason.
- ✔ A “Service Theft System” or similar security warning message on the dash.
- ✔ Intermittent no-start conditions where the engine cranks but won’t fire up.
- ✔ Windshield wipers behaving erratically or not working correctly.
- ✔ Radio or climate control systems malfunctioning.

Installation and Required Procedures
For a 2010 GMC Yukon, the BCM is typically located under the steering column on the driver’s side dash. While the physical replacement is straightforward for a DIY mechanic, some post-installation steps may be necessary depending on your vehicle’s configuration.
- 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: Some models may require a brake pedal position sensor recalibration to ensure proper brake light and traction control functionality.
Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician for detailed instructions specific to your vehicle.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to program this BCM?
No. We program the module to your vehicle’s specific VIN before shipping it to you. It arrives ready for installation, saving you a costly trip to the dealership.
Where is the BCM located on a 2010 GMC Yukon?
The Body Control Module on a 2010 Yukon is typically found under the steering column, accessible from the driver’s side footwell area.
What is a VIN and why do you need it?
The VIN is your vehicle’s unique 17-digit identification number. We use it to access the correct GM software and calibration files for your truck’s specific features and options, ensuring a perfect match.
Will this fix my “Service Theft System” light?
A faulty BCM is a very common cause of this warning message. Replacing your failing BCM with our pre-programmed unit is a highly effective way to resolve this issue.
What if the airbag light comes on after installation?
This indicates the new BCM needs to be electronically introduced to the airbag system (SDM). A procedure called “Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM” must be performed with a professional-grade scan tool to clear the light.
Is this a simple plug-and-play part?
For many vehicles, it is. However, due to the complexity of modern vehicle electronics, some models may require additional relearn procedures, such as for the brake pedal position sensor, after the physical installation is complete.
