Is Your 2010 Yukon Acting Possessed?
If you’re dealing with a dashboard that lights up randomly, power windows with a mind of their own, intermittent starting issues, or a security light that won’t turn off, you’re not alone. These are classic signs of a failing Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM is the central nervous system for your truck’s body electronics, and when it starts to go, it can cause a cascade of frustrating and unpredictable problems. In my 20+ years as a technician, I’ve seen this exact failure on hundreds of GM trucks and SUVs. A customer’s 2010 Yukon came into my shop last week with these exact symptomsโthe radio was dead, the power locks were erratic, and the owner was convinced it was haunted. The real culprit? A faulty BCM.
The Direct-Fit, No-Hassle Solution
Forget about expensive diagnostic fees and programming charges at the dealership. This is a direct replacement for your original BCM, and we handle the most crucial step for you. Simply provide us with your vehicle’s VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) after purchase, and we will program the module with the latest GM software updates specific to your 2010 Yukon. It arrives at your door ready for installation.
Expert Pro Tip: Check for Moisture Before Installing
Before you plug in your new BCM, take a close look at the area under the driver’s side dash, particularly near the A-pillar and firewall. In my experience, the leading cause of premature BCM failure on these GMT900 platforms is water intrusion from a leaking windshield seal or a clogged cowl drain. A quick inspection for water stains or dampness can save you from having to do this job twice. A little preventative maintenance goes a long way.
Simple Installation for the 2010 Yukon Body Control Module
You can get your truck back to normal without a trip to the shop. The BCM on your Yukon is located under the driver’s side of the dashboard, to the left of the steering column. While professional installation is always an option, a confident DIYer can handle this replacement.
- Safety First: Always disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery before working on any electronic components.
- Locate the BCM: Find the module under the driver’s side dash. You may need to remove a lower dash panel for easier access.
- Disconnect and Remove: Carefully unplug the electrical connectors. They have locking tabs that need to be depressed. Once disconnected, unbolt or unclip the old BCM from its mounting bracket.
- Install the New Module: Mount your new, pre-programmed BCM in the same location and reconnect all electrical connectors securely.
- Reconnect Battery: Re-attach the negative battery terminal.
- Perform Final Steps: Follow the post-installation procedures outlined below to ensure all systems, including safety features, are correctly initialized.
Important Post-Installation Requirements
Replacing a BCM is more than just a simple swap. To ensure full functionality and safety, these final steps are critical. Failure to perform these procedures can result in warning lights and improperly functioning systems.
- โ Airbag System Reset: The airbag light will likely be on after installation. You must perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure using a bi-directional scan tool. This re-establishes communication between the BCM and the airbag system’s Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM).
- โ Brake Pedal Position Sensor Relearn: Some vehicles require the Brake Pedal Position Sensor to be recalibrated. This ensures the brake lights and stability control system receive accurate input. This is also done with a capable diagnostic tool.
- โ Theft Deterrent Relearn: Your vehicle may not start until a security relearn procedure is completed. This typically involves a sequence of turning the key on and off and can often be done without a special tool.
