Restore Full Electrical Function to Your GM Vehicle
Is your 2010 GMC Yukon or other GM vehicle suffering from strange and unpredictable electrical problems? Flickering lights, malfunctioning power windows, a security system that acts on its own, or warning lights that won’t go away are all classic signs of a failing Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM acts as the central command center for your vehicle’s body electronics, and when it fails, it can cause a cascade of frustrating issues. This replacement Body Control Module, part number 25847588, is the definitive solution to restore your vehicle’s electronic stability and performance.
Unlike a standard replacement part that requires an expensive trip to the dealership for programming, this module arrives at your door ready for installation. We use your vehicle’s Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) to flash the BCM with the latest, most stable software updates directly from GM. This ensures perfect compatibility and function right out of the box, saving you time, money, and the headache of additional service appointments.
From the Diagnostic Bay
We had a 2010 Yukon XL come into the shop with a list of symptoms that sounded like a ghost was in the machine. The radio would change stations randomly, the dome lights would flicker while driving, and the driver’s side power window would only work intermittently. The owner had already replaced the battery and checked all the fuses. After connecting our diagnostic tool, we saw multiple communication errors pointing towards the BCM. Instead of a complex wiring chase, we installed a VIN-programmed BCM. All the bizarre electrical gremlins vanished instantly. It’s a powerful reminder of how critical this single component is to the vehicle’s entire ecosystem.
Diagnosing a Failing 2010 Yukon Body Control Module
A failing BCM can manifest in numerous ways, often mimicking other problems. If you’re experiencing several of the following issues, your BCM is the most likely culprit. This module is the direct solution for these common symptoms:
- ✔ Erratic or non-functional interior and exterior lights (headlights, taillights, dome lights).
- ✔ Power windows, door locks, or mirrors operating intermittently or not at all.
- ✔ The anti-theft or security system engaging randomly, preventing the vehicle from starting.
- ✔ Instrument cluster gauges behaving erratically or providing false readings.
- ✔ HVAC (heating and air conditioning) controls not responding correctly.
- ✔ The radio or infotainment system malfunctioning.
- ✔ False warning lights appearing on the dashboard, such as the airbag light.
Simple Installation and Post-Install Procedures
This BCM is designed for a straightforward installation process. For the 2010 Yukon, it is typically located under the steering column. Once the old module is removed and the new one is connected, most functions will be immediately restored. However, for certain integrated systems, a few additional steps may be necessary:
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light illuminates after installation, a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure is needed. This requires a professional-grade scan tool to sync 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 operation.
Please note: While this is a direct-fit part, we always recommend consulting a factory service manual or a qualified technician for vehicle-specific instructions.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to send you my VIN?
Yes, providing your VIN is mandatory. We use your VIN to program the module with the exact software and calibrations for your vehicle’s specific options. This ensures a seamless installation and proper function of all electronic features.
Is this a plug-and-play part?
For most functions, yes. Because we pre-program it to your VIN, you avoid the need for dealer programming. However, as noted, certain security or safety systems like the airbag (SRS) may require a synchronization procedure with a compatible scan tool after installation.
What happens if I don’t perform the post-install procedures?
If the airbag light is on and you don’t perform the SDM sync, the light will remain on and the airbag system may not function correctly. If a brake pedal relearn is needed, you might experience issues with brake light operation or traction control warnings. It’s best to perform any required procedures for full system integrity.
Where is the BCM located on my vehicle?
The location varies by model. On the 2010 GMC Yukon, Chevrolet Tahoe, and Suburban, it’s typically found under the driver’s side dash, near the steering column. For vans like the Express and Savana, it’s often in the center dash area. Always consult a service manual for your specific vehicle to confirm the location before starting work.
Is there a core charge for this part?
No, there is no core charge. You can keep your original module without needing to send it back to us.
