Is Your 2010 Escalade Experiencing Strange Electrical Issues?
If your Cadillac Escalade is plagued by flickering lights, malfunctioning power windows or locks, or random warning messages on the dash, a failing Body Control Module (BCM) is the most likely culprit. The BCM is the central nervous system for your vehicle’s body electronics, and when it fails, it can cause a wide range of frustrating and unpredictable problems. This isn’t just an inconvenience; it can affect the security and functionality of your luxury SUV. Restore order and reliability with our pre-programmed BCM, designed as a direct-fit solution for your vehicle.

Common Symptoms of a Failing BCM
- โ Power windows, door locks, or mirrors not working correctly.
- โ Interior or exterior lights flickering, staying on, or not turning on at all.
- โ Vehicle security system acting erratically or preventing the engine from starting.
- โ Remote keyless entry failing to respond.
- โ Unexplained warning lights on the instrument cluster, such as the airbag or ABS light.
- โ Communication errors when a mechanic uses a diagnostic scan tool.
Installation and Post-Install Notes
Installation is straightforward for those with moderate mechanical skill. The BCM is typically located under the steering column. However, after installation, some vehicles may require additional steps to ensure full system integration.
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is illuminated after you install the new BCM, a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure is necessary. This requires a professional-grade scan tool to sync the BCM with the airbag system.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: On some models, a brake pedal position sensor relearn may be needed to ensure proper operation of the brake lights and traction control system.
Disclaimer: Specific procedures can vary by vehicle. Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician for guidance.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Body Control Module do on my Escalade?
The BCM acts as a central computer for your vehicle’s body electronics. It controls non-engine related functions like power windows, locks, lights, security system, wipers, and more, ensuring they all work together.
Why do you need my VIN?
Your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) allows us to program the BCM with the exact software and settings for your Escalade’s specific features and options. This makes the installation process much smoother and avoids a trip to the dealer.
Is this part difficult to install?
For a DIYer with some experience, the physical replacement is typically straightforward, as the BCM is usually accessible under the dash. However, be aware that post-installation procedures like an airbag system sync may require a professional scan tool.
What if my airbag light is on after installation?
This is a common security feature. The new BCM needs to be electronically ‘introduced’ to the airbag system (SDM). A qualified technician with a high-level scan tool can perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure to resolve this.
Is there a core charge?
No, there is no core charge for this part. You can keep your old module, so there’s no need to worry about return shipping or waiting for a refund.
