If your 2010 Cadillac Escalade is plagued by bizarre electrical problems, you’re not alone. Flickering lights, malfunctioning power windows, random warning messages, or even a vehicle that refuses to start can often be traced back to one central component: the Body Control Module (BCM). As the nerve center for your vehicle’s body electronics, a failing BCM can turn your luxury SUV into a source of constant frustration. This isn’t just an inconvenience; it can compromise safety and functionality. We offer a reliable, direct-fit solution to restore your Escalade to its proper working order.
This is a genuine GM Body Control Module, part number 15093910, that arrives at your door pre-programmed to your vehicle’s specific VIN. This means you can bypass the expensive trip to the dealership for programming. Simply provide us with your VIN after purchase, and our technicians will flash the module with the latest GM software updates, ensuring seamless integration with your Escalade’s existing systems. This is the most efficient way to get your vehicle back on the road without the hassle of scheduling dealer appointments or paying for specialized programming labor.
Case Study: A Tricky Diagnosis
I remember a 2010 Escalade that rolled into my bay with a laundry list of complaints from the owner. The dash lights would flicker, the radio would cut out, and the power liftgate worked intermittently. The owner had already replaced the battery and alternator with no success. After connecting my scan tool, I saw a storm of U-codes (communication errors), specifically U0140 – Lost Communication With Body Control Module. This pointed directly to the BCM as the source of the network disruption. By replacing the faulty 2010 Escalade Body Control Module, we resolved all the seemingly unrelated issues at once, restoring the vehicle’s functionality and the owner’s peace of mind.
Is Your Escalade Showing These Symptoms?
A failing BCM can manifest in numerous ways. If you’re experiencing any of the following, this module is likely the solution you need:
- ✔ Erratic interior or exterior lights (flickering, staying on, or not working at all).
- ✔ Power windows, door locks, or power seats operating intermittently or not at all.
- ✔ The security system preventing the vehicle from starting (anti-theft light flashing).
- ✔ Instrument cluster gauges behaving erratically or going dead.
- ✔ Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) related to communication errors, such as U0140, U0155, or other U-codes.
- ✔ Non-functional remote keyless entry or tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS).
Your Straightforward Installation Guide
Installing your new 2010 Escalade Body Control Module is a manageable task for a confident DIYer or any professional technician. The BCM is typically located under the driver’s side of the dashboard, near the steering column.
- Safety First: Always disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery and wait a few minutes before beginning work.
- Locate the BCM: On your 2010 Escalade, you’ll find the BCM mounted under the steering column area. You may need to remove a lower dash panel for access.
- Disconnect the Old Module: Carefully unplug the electrical connectors from the old BCM. They have locking tabs that need to be pressed to release them.
- Swap the Modules: Unbolt the old BCM from its mounting bracket and install the new one in its place.
- Connect and Secure: Plug the electrical connectors firmly into your new BCM. You will hear a click as they lock into place.
- Final Steps: Reconnect the negative battery terminal. Start the vehicle to confirm that the primary issues are resolved.
Important Post-Installation Note: In some cases, additional steps may be required. For instance, if your airbag light is on, a professional scan tool is needed to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure. Similarly, a Brake Pedal Position relearn might be necessary. These are vehicle-specific and depend on your Escalade’s configuration.

Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to send my old BCM back?
No, there is no core charge for this part. You can keep your original module.
How do I provide my VIN for programming?
After you complete your purchase, you will receive instructions on how to send us your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN. We cannot ship the module until we receive this information.
Is this a plug-and-play part?
For most functions, yes. Because we pre-program it to your VIN, it will control the main body functions upon installation. However, as noted, some vehicles may require additional relearn procedures for systems like the airbags or brake pedal position sensor, which require a professional scan tool.
Will this fix my ‘Service Stability System’ message?
It can. The BCM communicates with the stability control system. If the BCM is the root cause of the communication fault, replacing it can resolve this warning. However, this message can also be caused by other components like wheel speed sensors, so proper diagnosis is key.
What tools are required for installation?
Basic hand tools are all that’s needed for the physical installation, typically a socket set and a panel removal tool to access the module under the dash. No special programming tools are required from you.
What if my original part number is not on the list?
If your part number is not listed, please contact us with your VIN and original part number. We can verify compatibility to ensure you receive the correct component for your vehicle.
