Is your 2002 GMC Yukon or GM truck suffering from strange electrical problems?
If you’re dealing with flickering lights, malfunctioning power windows or locks, erratic dashboard gauges, or a vehicle that refuses to start, a failing Body Control Module (BCM) is the most likely culprit. 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 frustrating and unpredictable issues. This replacement BCM, part number 15081796, is the definitive solution to restore your vehicle’s electronic functions and get you back on the road with confidence.
Common Symptoms of a Failing GM BCM
- ✔ Intermittent or non-functional power windows, mirrors, and door locks.
- ✔ Headlights, taillights, or interior lights staying on or not turning on at all.
- ✔ Erratic behavior from dashboard gauges (speedometer, tachometer, etc.).
- ✔ The security or anti-theft system preventing the engine from starting.
- ✔ False warning messages on the driver information center, like “Service 4WD”.
- ✔ Unresponsive remote keyless entry fobs.
- ✔ Complete loss of communication with the module, leading to multiple system failures.

Important Post-Installation Steps
While our programming handles the critical setup, some vehicles may require additional steps after installation to ensure all systems work together correctly. Please be aware of the following potential procedures:
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is illuminated after installation, a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure must be performed with a professional-grade diagnostic tool. This syncs the new BCM with the airbag system.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: On some models, a brake pedal position sensor recalibration may be needed to ensure correct brake light operation and to satisfy the traction control system.
Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician if you are unsure about these procedures.
