If you’re dealing with baffling electrical issues in your 2015 GMC Yukon or another compatible GM vehicle, you know how frustrating it can be. One moment the radio works, the next it doesn’t. Your power windows have a mind of their own, and a cluster of warning lights on the dash seems to be a permanent feature. As a technician with over two decades of experience, I’ve seen these exact problems hundreds of times, and they almost always point to a failing Body Control Module (BCM).
The BCM is the central nervous system for your vehicle’s electronics, controlling everything from the interior lights and power locks to the security system. When it fails, it creates chaos. But the fix doesn’t have to be a complicated, expensive trip to the dealership. We offer a simple, reliable solution: a replacement 2015 Yukon Body Control Module that arrives at your door fully programmed and ready for installation.
How Our Simple Programming Service Works
Forget about towing your vehicle to a dealer and paying for hours of diagnostic and programming labor. Our service is designed for both seasoned mechanics and DIY enthusiasts. After you place your order, we’ll provide instructions for you to ship your original BCM to our facility. Once we receive it, our expert technicians will clone all the critical data—including your vehicle’s VIN, security information, and specific options—onto this replacement module. We then ship the ready-to-install BCM back to you. This process ensures a seamless, plug-and-play experience, restoring your vehicle’s functions without any additional programming required.
Is Your GM Vehicle Showing These BCM Failure Signs?
- ✔ Intermittent or non-functional power windows, door locks, or mirrors.
- ✔ Unpredictable behavior from the radio, dome lights, or dashboard gauges.
- ✔ The security system light stays on or the vehicle won’t start, believing it’s being stolen.
- ✔ Erroneous warning lights on the instrument cluster, such as for the airbag or traction control system.
- ✔ Diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) related to communication loss with other modules, such as U0140, U0155, or other U-series codes.
- ✔ Complete failure of multiple unrelated electronic accessories at once.
From the Diagnostic Bay: The Case of the Ghostly Gremlins
A few months back, a 2015 Sierra 1500 was brought into the shop with a list of complaints that sounded like the truck was haunted. The owner said the radio would randomly shut off, the dome light would flicker while driving, and sometimes the truck wouldn’t start. He’d already replaced the battery twice. We hooked up the scan tool and found a slew of communication errors pointing everywhere and nowhere. This is a classic sign of a failing BCM. Instead of sending signals properly, it was flooding the vehicle’s data network with garbage information, confusing all the other modules. A replacement 2015 Yukon Body Control Module (the same part family) with cloned data had the truck fixed and back on the road in an afternoon, saving the owner from chasing phantom electrical issues for weeks.
Your Straightforward BCM Installation Guide
- ✔ Safety First: Disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery to prevent any electrical shorts.
- ✔ Locate the BCM: On most compatible trucks and SUVs like the Yukon, Tahoe, and Silverado, the BCM is located under the driver’s side of the dashboard, often near the steering column. On other models (like the Corvette or ATS), its location may vary, so consult a service manual if unsure.
- ✔ 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 your pre-programmed replacement BCM in the same location and securely reconnect all the electrical harnesses. You should hear a click as they lock into place.
- ✔ Reconnect Power: Reattach the negative battery terminal.
- ✔ Test Functionality: Start the vehicle and test all the body functions: power windows, locks, radio, lights, and wipers to ensure everything is working as expected.
Important Post-Installation Notes
Our cloning service handles the vast majority of the setup, making this a true plug-and-play repair. However, in some cases, a couple of quick relearn procedures may be needed. Don’t worry, these are straightforward for any shop with a professional scan tool.
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag light is on after installation, a procedure called “Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM” is required to sync the systems.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: On some models, a brake pedal position sensor relearn might be necessary to ensure brake lights and traction control function correctly.
As always, for vehicle-specific procedures, consulting a factory service manual or a qualified technician is recommended. And remember, there is no core charge for this part. You can keep your original module.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the cloning service work?
After you purchase, we will contact you with instructions to mail your original BCM to us. We extract the unique data from your module and transfer it to the replacement unit. This makes the new module plug-and-play, with no need for dealer programming.
Do I need to program this 2015 Yukon Body Control Module?
No. The main benefit of our service is that the module arrives pre-programmed with your vehicle’s specific data. Just install it, and you’re ready to go, saving you hundreds in dealership fees.
What if my original BCM is not communicating or is water damaged?
In many cases, even if the BCM is failing, we can still extract the necessary data. Please contact us before ordering if your module has severe water damage or is completely unresponsive, and we can advise on the likelihood of a successful data clone.
How long does the entire process take?
We typically program and ship your replacement BCM within 1-2 business days of receiving your original module. The total time depends on shipping transit times to and from our facility.
Is there a core charge?
No, there is no core charge. We only need your original module for the data cloning process. You are welcome to have it shipped back to you with your newly programmed module.
