Restore Full Functionality to Your GM Vehicle with a Programmed BCM
Are you dealing with baffling electrical issues in your 2010 GMC Yukon XL 1500? Flickering lights, malfunctioning power windows or locks, or strange warning messages on your dash are classic signs of a failing Body Control Module (BCM). As the central hub for your vehicle’s body electronics, a faulty BCM can make your daily drive frustrating and unpredictable. This isn’t just an inconvenience; it can be a safety concern. We offer a reliable, straightforward solution: a replacement BCM with a cloning service, programmed specifically to your vehicle’s VIN.
A Technician’s Notebook: The Case of the Haunted SUV
A customer brought in a 2010 Yukon XL with a list of complaints that sounded like the vehicle was possessed. The dome lights would stay on, the radio would shut off randomly, and the ‘Service StabiliTrak’ light was a permanent fixture on the dash. They had already replaced the battery and checked the main grounds. After connecting my scan tool, I saw a cascade of communication error codes (U-codes) pointing to the BCM. This is a scenario I’ve seen hundreds of times. Internal circuit board failure in the BCM, often due to years of heat cycles and voltage fluctuations, causes it to lose communication with other modules. By providing a VIN-programmed BCM, we restored communication, cleared all the codes, and gave the customer back a vehicle that behaved exactly as it should—no exorcism required.
Is Your Vehicle Showing These Symptoms?
A failing BCM can manifest in numerous ways. If you’re experiencing any of the following, your Body Control Module is the likely culprit. This replacement 2010 Yukon XL 1500 BCM is the definitive fix for these issues.
- ✔ Intermittent or non-working power windows, door locks, or mirrors.
- ✔ Interior or exterior lights behaving erratically (staying on, not turning on, or flickering).
- ✔ The security system acting up, preventing the vehicle from starting.
- ✔ Inaccurate or non-functional instrument panel gauges.
- ✔ Warning messages like ‘Service Theft System’ or ‘Service StabiliTrak’.
- ✔ Communication-related Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) such as U0140, U0155, or B1001.
- ✔ Unresponsive key fob or remote start functions.
Your Straightforward BCM Installation Guide
With our cloning service, the most complex part of the job—the programming—is already done. This makes the physical installation manageable for a confident DIYer or any professional mechanic.
- Safety First: Always disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery before starting any work on the electrical system.
- Locate the BCM: On the 2010 Yukon XL 1500, the BCM is typically located under the driver’s side of the dashboard, near the steering column. You may need to remove a lower dash panel for access.
- Disconnect and Remove: Carefully unplug the electrical connectors from the old BCM. They have locking tabs that need to be depressed. Once disconnected, unbolt or unclip the module from its mounting bracket.
- Install the New Module: Mount the new, programmed BCM in the same location and securely re-attach all electrical connectors. You should hear a ‘click’ as they lock into place.
- Reconnect and Test: Reconnect the negative battery terminal. Turn the key to the ‘ON’ position (without starting the engine) and test all body functions: lights, locks, windows, wipers, etc.
- Perform Relearn Procedures: As noted below, you may need a professional scan tool to perform a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ if the airbag light is on, or a ‘Brake Pedal Position Relearn’. This final step ensures all systems communicate correctly.
What Our Cloning Service Means for You
This is not a generic, off-the-shelf part. Our ‘Cloning Service’ transfers the critical data from your original BCM to this replacement unit. This ensures that all your vehicle’s specific options, key data, and security information are preserved. Simply provide us with your VIN at checkout, and we handle the complex programming. We then ship the ready-to-install module and your original unit back to you. This process eliminates the need for expensive dealership programming and specialized tools.
Post-Installation Requirements
While our programming handles the heavy lifting, some systems may require a final handshake after installation:
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is illuminated after installation, a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure must be performed with a compatible high-level scan tool. This syncs the new BCM with the airbag system.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: On some models, a brake pedal position sensor recalibration may be necessary to ensure proper brake light and traction control operation.
Disclaimer: Vehicle systems vary. We always recommend consulting a factory service manual or a certified technician if you are unsure about any step.
Verified Vehicle Compatibility
This BCM, part number 25910474, is a direct replacement for a wide range of GM vehicles and interchanges with numerous part numbers. Please verify your vehicle is on this list and that the location matches. For truck/SUV models like the Tahoe, Suburban, and Yukon, this module is typically found under the steering column.

What is a BCM ‘Cloning Service’?
What is a BCM ‘Cloning Service’?
Cloning is a process where we transfer the exact software, VIN, key data, and vehicle-specific options from your original BCM to the replacement unit. This makes the new module a perfect digital match for your vehicle, avoiding the need for additional programming after installation.
Will this fix my ‘Service Theft System’ message?
In many cases, yes. The BCM is a critical part of the Pass-Key/Pass-Lock anti-theft system. A faulty BCM can disrupt communication and trigger this warning, often preventing the engine from starting. A properly programmed replacement BCM restores this function.
Do I need to send my original BCM to you?
No, our service is designed for your convenience. We only need your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) to program the replacement module before shipping it. Your original module is always returned to you along with the programmed replacement.
Will my mileage or key fobs be affected?
Our cloning process ensures your vehicle’s mileage, which is stored in other modules and the instrument cluster, remains correct and unaffected. Your existing key fobs will also continue to work seamlessly as their data is transferred to the new module.
Is this a difficult part to install myself?
For someone with basic mechanical skills, the physical swap is not overly difficult. The main challenge is typically accessing the module under the dash. Since we handle the programming, you won’t need any special computer equipment, though a high-level scan tool may be required for post-install relearn procedures in some cases.
