Is Your GM Vehicle Plagued by Electrical Gremlins?
If you’re dealing with flickering lights, malfunctioning power windows, a temperamental security system, or other bizarre electrical issues in your 2010 GMC Yukon XL 1500, a failing Body Control Module (BCM) is the likely culprit. The BCM acts as the central nervous system for your vehicle’s body electronics, and when it fails, it can cause a wide range of frustrating and difficult-to-diagnose problems. This replacement BCM, part number 25892622, is the definitive solution to restore full functionality and peace of mind.
Common Symptoms of a Failing BCM
- ✔ Erratic or non-functional interior and exterior lights.
- ✔ Power windows, door locks, or mirrors operating intermittently or not at all.
- ✔ The security system engaging randomly or preventing the vehicle from starting.
- ✔ The radio or infotainment system turning on and off by itself.
- ✔ False warning messages on the instrument cluster (e.g., ‘Service Airbag System’).
- ✔ Complete no-start condition where the engine won’t crank.
The Direct-Fit, Programmed Solution
Don’t waste time and money at the dealership with a blank module that requires expensive programming. We take the hassle out of the repair. This BCM is a genuine OEM part that is professionally programmed with the latest GM software updates specifically for your vehicle’s Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). This ensures it communicates perfectly with your vehicle’s other computers, like the ECU and TCM, right out of the box. This is not a one-size-fits-all part; it’s a tailored solution for your exact vehicle configuration.
Important Post-Installation Information
While this module is designed for a straightforward installation, some vehicle systems may require a recalibration procedure after the BCM is replaced. 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. Additionally, a ‘Brake Pedal Position Relearn’ may be necessary on some models to ensure proper brake light and traction control function. Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician for guidance specific to your vehicle.
Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly does the Body Control Module do?
The BCM is a computer that manages and controls your vehicle’s non-engine-related functions. This includes power windows, locks, lights, wipers, the security system, and the climate control fans, among other things.
How do I provide my VIN for programming?
Simply enter your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN in the notes section during the checkout process. We cannot ship your part until we receive this information, as the programming is essential for the part to function.
Is this part difficult to install?
The physical installation is typically straightforward, involving unplugging the old module and plugging in the new one. On a 2010 Yukon, it’s located under the steering column. However, due to the potential need for post-install procedures, we recommend installation by a professional mechanic if you are not comfortable with automotive electrical work.
Do I need to return my old BCM?
No, there is no core charge for this part. You can keep your original module.
Will this fit other vehicles besides the 2010 Yukon?
Yes, this BCM is compatible with a wide range of GM vehicles, including the Tahoe, Suburban, Escalade, Impala, and Express/Savana vans. Please verify your original part number against the list provided on this page to ensure an exact match for your vehicle.
