Symptoms of a Failing Body Control Module
- ✔ Erratic or non-functional interior and exterior lights.
- ✔ Power windows, locks, or mirrors working intermittently or not at all.
- ✔ The security system or keyless entry failing to operate correctly.
- ✔ Unexplained battery drain when the vehicle is off.
- ✔ False warnings on the instrument cluster (e.g., “Service Theft System”).
- ✔ HVAC (heating and air conditioning) controls not responding.
- ✔ Radio or infotainment system malfunctions.
Installation and Post-Install Notes
Installation is straightforward for those with mechanical experience. The BCM is typically located under the steering column or in the dash. Once the new module is installed, most functions should work immediately. However, depending on your vehicle’s specific configuration, a couple of simple relearn procedures may be necessary:
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is illuminated after installation, a professional scan tool is needed to perform the “Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM” procedure. This syncs the new BCM with the airbag system.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: In some cases, a brake pedal position sensor recalibration may be required to ensure proper operation of the brake lights and traction control system.
This 2010 Escalade ESV BCM is also a compatible replacement for a wide range of other GM vehicles, including the Chevrolet Tahoe, Suburban, Avalanche, Impala, and GMC Yukon models. Please verify your part number against the extensive cross-reference list to confirm fitment.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a BCM and what does it do?
The Body Control Module (BCM) is a computer in your vehicle that manages and controls electronic accessories not related to the engine. This includes power windows, locks, lights, wipers, security systems, and more.
Is this BCM ready to install out of the box?
Yes! This BCM is programmed to your vehicle’s specific VIN before shipping. This makes the installation process much simpler, as you will not need to take it to a dealership for programming. Some minor relearn procedures may be required post-installation.
How do I provide my VIN for programming?
After you complete your purchase, you will need to send us a message with your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). We cannot ship your part until we receive the VIN to perform the programming service.
What happens if my airbag light is on after installation?
If the airbag light appears, it means the new BCM needs to be synchronized with the vehicle’s Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM). This requires a professional-grade scan tool to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure.
Do I need to send my old BCM back?
No, there is no core charge for this part. You can keep your original module.
