Restore Full Functionality to Your GM Vehicle
If you’re dealing with bizarre electrical issues in your 2010 GMC Yukon XL 1500—like power windows with a mind of their own, intermittent starting problems, or a security light that won’t turn off—you’re likely facing a failing Body Control Module (BCM). As the central nervous system for your vehicle’s accessories and security, a faulty BCM can cause a cascade of frustrating and unpredictable problems. This isn’t just an inconvenience; it can affect vehicle safety and security. This replacement BCM is your direct, reliable solution to get your truck or SUV back to normal.
We take the guesswork and high dealership costs out of the equation. Unlike a generic module that requires expensive programming tools, this unit arrives at your door pre-programmed with the latest GM software, specifically flashed to your vehicle’s VIN. This means a simpler, more direct installation process for both seasoned mechanics and determined DIYers. Simply provide your VIN after purchase, and we handle the complex programming for you.
A Technician’s Notebook
I recently had a 2010 Tahoe in the shop with a classic BCM failure case. The customer reported the radio would turn off randomly, the driver’s side power lock was inoperative, and the anti-theft system would engage sporadically, preventing the engine from starting. A scan showed multiple U-codes, indicating a communication breakdown. Instead of a costly trip to the dealer, we used one of our VIN-programmed modules. The swap took less than an hour, and with a quick brake pedal position relearn, all the gremlins were gone. The customer saved hundreds and got their vehicle back the same day—a win-win.
Is Your Vehicle Showing These Symptoms?
A failing BCM can manifest in numerous ways. If you’re noticing any of the following, it’s a strong indicator that your module needs attention. Over my 20 years in diagnostics, these are the most common signs I’ve seen:
- ✔ Erratic or non-functional power windows, door locks, or interior lights.
- ✔ The security or anti-theft light stays on, or the vehicle won’t start.
- ✔ Dashboard gauges behaving strangely or not working at all.
- ✔ Horn honking unexpectedly or not working when pressed.
- ✔ Diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) related to communication loss, such as U0140, U0155, or other U-codes.
- ✔ Wipers or climate control functions operating intermittently.
A Straightforward Guide to BCM Installation
Installing your new 2010 Yukon XL 1500 BCM is a manageable job for someone with basic mechanical skills. The module is typically located under the steering column on the driver’s side. Always confirm the location for your specific model.
- Safety First: Disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery and wait at least 10 minutes to allow all systems to fully power down.
- Locate the BCM: On the Yukon XL, you’ll generally find it attached to a bracket under the driver’s side of the dashboard. You may need to remove a lower dash panel for access.
- Disconnect and Remove: Carefully unplug all 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 your new, pre-programmed BCM in the same location and securely reconnect all the electrical harnesses. Ensure each connector clicks firmly into place.
- Reconnect Power: Reattach the negative battery terminal.
- Perform Post-Install Procedures: Start the vehicle and check for any warning lights. As noted in our technical information, you may need to perform a Brake Pedal Position Relearn or an Airbag System Sync if the corresponding warning lights are illuminated. This may require a professional scan tool.

Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the VIN programming service work?
After you place your order, simply reply to your confirmation email with your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). Our technicians will flash the BCM with the correct software and vehicle-specific configuration from GM’s database before shipping it to you.
Is this a simple plug-and-play installation?
Because we pre-program the module to your VIN, it eliminates the need for dealer-level programming. For many vehicles, it is a direct swap. However, some models may require a simple relearn procedure (like for the brake pedal sensor) which can sometimes require a bidirectional scan tool.
Do I need to send my original BCM to you?
No, this is not a repair service for your old part. We supply a quality replacement BCM and program it for you. Per our policy, we always return the customer’s original module if it is sent to us, as we do not require a core for this part.
What happens if the airbag light comes on after I install it?
This can happen occasionally. It means the new BCM needs to be electronically ‘introduced’ to the airbag’s computer (SDM). A procedure called ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ must be performed with a professional-grade diagnostic tool to resolve this.
Will this fix my vehicle’s security system issues?
In most cases, yes. The BCM is integral to the Passlock/Passkey anti-theft systems. A failing BCM is a very common cause of security-related starting problems. This VIN-programmed 2010 Yukon XL 1500 BCM is designed to restore that function correctly.
