Is Your 2010 Yukon XL Experiencing Strange Electrical Problems?
If your GMC Yukon XL is acting possessed—with flickering lights, malfunctioning power windows or locks, or a security system that has a mind of its own—a failing Body Control Module (BCM) is the most likely culprit. The BCM is the central nervous system for your vehicle’s body electronics, coordinating everything from your interior lights and turn signals to your keyless entry system. When it starts to fail, it can cause a cascade of frustrating and seemingly unrelated issues that can be difficult to diagnose.
From the Diagnostic Bay
We once had a 2010 Yukon XL come into the shop where the owner had spent hundreds of dollars replacing the driver’s side window motor twice, convinced it was faulty. The window would work intermittently. After checking the wiring and switches, we traced the problem back to a failing BCM. The module wasn’t sending a consistent signal to the motor. A new, properly programmed BCM solved the problem instantly, saving the customer from further guesswork and unnecessary parts expenses. This highlights how a single central component can create widespread issues.

Important Post-Installation Information
While this module is programmed for your vehicle, some systems may require a relearn or synchronization procedure after installation. This is a normal part of the process. For instance, if you see an airbag warning light, a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure may be needed using a professional scan tool. Similarly, a ‘Brake Pedal Position Relearn’ might be necessary to ensure proper brake light and traction control operation. Always consult a factory service manual for your specific model for detailed instructions.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does a Body Control Module do?
The BCM is a computer that manages and controls many of your vehicle’s non-engine related electronic systems. This includes power windows, door locks, interior and exterior lighting, security systems, wipers, and more. It acts as a central hub for these functions.
Do I need to program this module?
No. We program the module for you before it ships. All you need to do is provide your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN when you place your order. This makes the installation process much simpler and avoids a trip to the dealer.
Where is the BCM located on my 2010 Yukon XL?
On the 2010 GMC Yukon XL 1500, the Body Control Module is typically located under the driver’s side dashboard, near the steering column. Always disconnect the battery before attempting replacement.
What happens if the airbag light comes on after installation?
This can happen occasionally. It means the new BCM needs to be synchronized with the vehicle’s airbag system (SDM). A procedure called ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ must be performed with a compatible high-level scan tool to resolve this.
Is there a core charge for this part?
No, there is no core charge. You can keep your original module without needing to send it back to us.
