Restore Full Electrical Function to Your GM Vehicle
Are you battling frustrating electrical gremlins in your 2010 Cadillac Escalade, Tahoe, Yukon, or other compatible GM vehicle? Issues like erratic power windows, malfunctioning interior lights, false security alarms, or even a no-start condition can often be traced back to a single, critical component: the 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 cascade of confusing and seemingly unrelated problems. This replacement BCM, part number 20921436, is the definitive solution to restore your vehicle’s functionality and peace of mind.
Common Symptoms of a Failing BCM
- ✔ Power windows, door locks, or mirrors operating intermittently or not at all.
- ✔ Interior or exterior lights (headlights, dome lights) behaving erratically.
- ✔ The anti-theft system preventing the vehicle from starting.
- ✔ Horn honking unexpectedly or not working when pressed.
- ✔ Windshield wipers activating on their own or not responding to the switch.
- ✔ Multiple, unrelated warning lights appearing on the instrument cluster.
- ✔ Radio or infotainment system malfunctions.
The Plug-and-Play Solution: A Pre-Programmed 2010 Escalade Body Control Module
The biggest hurdle in replacing a BCM has always been the need for expensive programming at a dealership. We eliminate that step entirely. When you purchase this 2010 Escalade Body Control Module, you simply provide us with your vehicle’s VIN. Our experts will then flash the module with the latest GM software specific to your vehicle’s configuration. This ensures that when you receive the part, it’s ready for a straightforward installation. No extra trips to the dealer, no expensive scan tools required for programming. Plus, there is no core charge, so you can keep your original module.
Installation and Post-Install Notes
Installation is typically a direct swap of the old module, which on many compatible vehicles like the Escalade, Tahoe, and Yukon, is located under the steering column. After installing your new BCM, some vehicles may require simple relearn procedures. For instance, if your airbag light is on, a professional scan tool may be needed to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure. Additionally, a Brake Pedal Position sensor 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 ‘programmed to my VIN’ mean?
It means we load the module with the specific software and settings from GM that match your vehicle’s exact features and options. This makes the installation plug-and-play and avoids a costly trip to the dealership for programming.
Is this part difficult to install?
For someone with moderate DIY skills, the physical swap is straightforward. The BCM is usually located under the driver’s side dash. The key is that our pre-programming handles the complex software side of the job for you.
Will this 2010 Escalade Body Control Module fix my specific electrical issue?
The BCM controls a vast number of electronic functions. If you are experiencing multiple, seemingly unrelated electrical problems from the symptoms list, a faulty BCM is the most likely cause.
What information do you need from me?
After you place your order, we will need your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) to program the module correctly before we ship it.
What if my airbag light comes on after installation?
This can happen occasionally. It means the new BCM needs to be electronically ‘introduced’ to the airbag system’s computer (SDM). This is a simple ‘Setup SDM Primary Key’ procedure that can be done with a professional-grade scan tool.
Do I need to return my old BCM?
No. This part is sold with no core charge, so you are not required to send your old, faulty module back to us.
