Restore Full Electrical Function to Your GM Vehicle
Are you battling frustrating electrical issues in your 2010 Yukon XL 1500? Flickering lights, malfunctioning power windows, or random warning messages on the dash are often symptoms of a failing Body Control Module (BCM). 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 confusing and unpredictable problems. This replacement Body Control Module is the definitive solution to restore your vehicle’s factory performance and reliability.
This isn’t just a generic part. We provide a complete, plug-and-play solution. Before this module ships, we program it with the latest official GM software, specifically matched to your vehicle using the VIN you provide. This critical step ensures that the module communicates perfectly with your vehicle’s other computers, eliminating the need for an expensive trip to the dealership for programming. It arrives ready for installation, getting you back on the road quickly and confidently.
From the Diagnostic Bay
We had a 2010 Yukon XL 1500 come into the shop with a laundry list of bizarre symptoms. The owner said his radio would turn off randomly, the driver’s side power window wouldn’t work, and the security light was always on. He had already replaced the battery and checked fuses with no luck. After connecting our diagnostic scanner, we saw multiple communication error codes pointing towards the BCM. Instead of a costly and time-consuming repair at the dealer, we installed one of our pre-programmed modules. The installation was straightforward, and upon starting the vehicle, all the strange electrical gremlins were gone. It’s a perfect example of how a failing 2010 Yukon XL 1500 Body Control Module can mimic a dozen other problems, but the right part makes for a simple, effective fix.
Symptoms of a Failing Body Control Module
- ✔ Erratic or non-functional power windows, locks, and mirrors.
- ✔ Interior dome lights or exterior lights staying on or not turning on at all.
- ✔ The anti-theft or security system malfunctioning, causing no-start conditions.
- ✔ Windshield wipers operating intermittently or not responding to the switch.
- ✔ Instrument panel gauges behaving unpredictably or giving false readings.
- ✔ Warning lights such as ‘Service Stability System’ or ‘Service 4WD’ appearing on the dash.
- ✔ The radio or climate control system turning on and off by itself.
Installation and Post-Installation Procedures
This module is designed for a direct-fit replacement. On most compatible GM trucks and SUVs like the Yukon, Tahoe, and Suburban, the BCM is located under the driver’s side of the dashboard, near the steering column. While the physical swap is straightforward for a seasoned DIYer or professional technician, some vehicles may require additional electronic relearn procedures after installation to ensure all systems function correctly.
Post-Installation Requirements:
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is illuminated after installation, a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure is necessary. This requires a professional-grade diagnostic tool to sync the new BCM with the airbag system. This is only required if the light is on.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: In some cases, a brake pedal position sensor recalibration may be needed. This procedure ensures the brake lights and traction control systems operate as intended.
Disclaimer: Specific procedures can vary by vehicle. Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician for guidance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to program this BCM?
No. We handle all the programming for you before the part is shipped. Simply provide your vehicle’s VIN at checkout, and the module will arrive ready to be installed, saving you a trip to the dealership.
What exactly does a Body Control Module do?
The BCM is a computer that controls and monitors many of your vehicle’s non-engine-related functions. This includes power windows, locks, lights, wipers, the security system, and interior accessories. It’s the central hub for passenger comfort and convenience electronics.
How do I confirm this is the right part for my vehicle?
This module replaces numerous GM part numbers. The best way to ensure compatibility is to match the part number from your original BCM to the list provided in our description. Providing your VIN for programming also ensures we send you a correctly configured part.
Will this BCM fix my specific electrical problem?
A faulty BCM is the cause of many common electrical issues. If your vehicle is exhibiting several of the symptoms listed above, there is a high probability this part will resolve them. However, we always recommend a proper diagnosis by a qualified technician to rule out other potential causes like wiring or switch failures.
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 system’s computer (SDM). A technician with a high-level scan tool will need to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure to sync the modules and turn off the light.
Is there a core charge for this part?
No, there is absolutely no core charge. You are not required to send your old, faulty module back to us.
