Is Your Tahoe Experiencing Bizarre Electrical Issues?
If you’re dealing with frustrating and unpredictable problems like power windows that won’t cooperate, door locks with a mind of their own, flickering interior lights, or a security system that prevents your truck from starting, a failing Body Control Module (BCM) is the most likely culprit. This isn’t just an annoyance; it’s a critical failure that compromises your vehicle’s convenience and security. Get back in control with this direct-fit, VIN-programmed BCM for your 2010 Chevrolet Tahoe.

Expert Insight: The Dealership Alternative
For years, replacing a BCM meant your vehicle was stuck at a dealership for days. The process involved ordering the part, physically installing it, and then paying a technician hundreds of dollars for several hours of programming with specialized tools. Our VIN-programming service eliminates that entire ordeal. We handle the complex software flashing here, so you or your mechanic can perform a simple physical swap. You save significant time, money, and the headache of a dealership appointment, getting your reliable family SUV back on the road faster.
Important Post-Installation Information
While this module is programmed for a plug-and-play installation, some GM vehicles may require one or two simple relearn procedures after the BCM is installed. These are standard procedures and may be necessary to ensure all systems communicate correctly:
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is on after installation, a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure must be performed with a professional scan tool to sync the modules.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: A brake pedal position sensor recalibration may be needed on some models to ensure proper brake light and traction control operation.
Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician if you are unsure about these procedures.

Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly does a Body Control Module do?
The BCM is like the central nervous system for your vehicle’s electronic accessories. It controls functions that aren’t related to the engine, such as power windows, locks, lights, wipers, the security system, and the climate control fans. When it fails, these systems can behave erratically or stop working altogether.
Is this really a plug-and-play part?
Yes. The most difficult part of a BCM replacement is the software programming, which we do for you before shipping. By flashing the module with your vehicle’s specific VIN, it’s ready to be installed and communicate with your other modules. In some cases, minor relearn procedures may be needed post-installation, as mentioned above.
How do I provide my VIN?
After you complete your purchase, you will need to send us your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). We cannot program and ship your module without it. Please double-check your VIN for accuracy to ensure a perfect match.
Where is the BCM located on my 2010 Tahoe?
On the 2010 Chevrolet Tahoe and similar GM SUVs (Yukon, Suburban, Escalade), the Body Control Module is typically located under the driver’s side of the dashboard, near the steering column.
What if my original part number isn’t on your list?
If your part number is not listed, please contact us with your vehicle’s VIN and the part number from your original module. GM often uses many interchangeable part numbers, and we can verify compatibility for you.
