Restore Peak Electrical Performance in Your GM Vehicle
Are you battling a storm of bizarre electrical issues in your 2010 GMC Yukon XL 1500? From flickering dashboard lights and malfunctioning power windows to a security system with a mind of its own, these frustrating symptoms often point to a single culprit: a failing Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM acts as the central command center for your vehicle’s body electronics, and when it starts to fail, it can disrupt countless functions. This replacement Body Control Module, part number 15828601, is the definitive solution to restore order and reliability to your vehicle.
We take the guesswork and hassle out of the replacement process. Unlike a standard off-the-shelf part that requires expensive dealership programming, this BCM arrives at your door fully programmed to your vehicle’s specific Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). We load it with the latest, most stable software updates directly from GM, ensuring optimal performance and compatibility right out of the box. This plug-and-play approach saves you a trip to the dealer and gets you back on the road faster.
Common Symptoms of a Failing BCM
- ✔ Erratic or non-functional power windows, door locks, and mirrors.
- ✔ Interior or exterior lights staying on, not working, or flickering randomly.
- ✔ The security system or alarm engaging unexpectedly or preventing the vehicle from starting.
- ✔ Inconsistent or incorrect readings on the instrument cluster gauges.
- ✔ Communication error codes when scanned with a diagnostic tool (e.g., U-codes).
- ✔ Intermittent failure of the radio, climate controls, or other interior accessories.
- ✔ A persistent “Service Theft System” or similar warning message on the dash.
The Importance of a Programmed 2010 Yukon XL BCM
Installing a non-programmed BCM into a modern vehicle like your Yukon is not an option. The module must be able to communicate seamlessly with the Engine Control Module (ECM), Transmission Control Module (TCM), and various other sensors and computers. Our professional programming service syncs this replacement BCM to your Yukon’s unique electronic fingerprint using your VIN. This ensures all factory-installed options and security features operate exactly as they were designed to, preventing compatibility conflicts and ensuring a smooth, error-free installation.
Post-Installation Procedures
While this module is programmed for a straightforward installation, some GM vehicles may require minor relearn procedures to finalize the synchronization process. These are typically simple and may include:
- Airbag System Sync: 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. This is only necessary if the light appears.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: A recalibration of the brake pedal position sensor might be required to ensure correct brake light operation and to satisfy the traction control system.
Please note: Specific requirements can vary. We always recommend consulting a factory service manual or a certified technician for your vehicle’s exact procedures.
