Restore Full Control Over Your Vehicle’s Electronics
Are you battling frustrating and unpredictable electrical problems in your GM vehicle? Flickering lights, malfunctioning power windows, a security system that acts on its own, or warning lights that won’t go away are common signs of a failing Body Control Module (BCM). This vital component acts as the central nervous system for your vehicle’s body electronics. When it fails, it can cause a cascade of confusing issues. This pre-programmed BCM is the definitive, hassle-free solution to restore your vehicle’s functions and your peace of mind.
Common Symptoms of a Failing BCM & Your Solution
A faulty BCM can manifest in numerous ways, often leaving owners and even some mechanics chasing ghosts. If you’re experiencing any of the following, this module is your answer:
- Erratic interior or exterior lights (staying on, not turning on, or flickering)
- Power windows, door locks, or mirrors not responding correctly
- Vehicle security system engaging randomly or preventing the car from starting
- Instrument cluster gauges behaving erratically or displaying incorrect information
- HVAC (heating and air conditioning) controls not working
- Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs), especially U-codes, indicating loss of communication between modules

Expert Insight: The BCM as Your Vehicle’s Command Center
Think of the BCM as the air traffic controller for your vehicle’s comfort and convenience features. It doesn’t manage the engine, but it tells the windows to go up, the doors to lock, and the interior lights to turn on. Because it communicates with nearly every other moduleโfrom the airbag system to the radioโusing a generic or non-programmed BCM from a junkyard can create even more problems. Our VIN-specific programming ensures this new BCM speaks the exact same language as the rest of your vehicle, restoring the precise, sophisticated functionality you expect from your 2010 Escalade EXT Body Control Module.
Important Post-Installation Procedures
For a complete and successful repair, some vehicles may require one or more of the following relearn procedures to be performed with a professional-grade scan tool after the new BCM is installed:
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is illuminated after installation, the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure is necessary to sync the systems.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: A recalibration of the brake pedal position sensor may be required to ensure proper brake light and traction control operation.
Disclaimer: Specific procedures can vary by vehicle. Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician for guidance.

Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly does the Body Control Module do?
The BCM is a computer that manages most of the non-engine related electronic functions in your vehicle. This includes power windows, power locks, interior and exterior lighting, the security system, wipers, and the HVAC blower motor, among other things.
Is this BCM really ‘plug and play’?
Yes, for the most part. We handle the difficult programming part by flashing the module to your specific VIN before we ship it. The physical installation is a direct swap. However, as noted, some vehicles may require a final ‘relearn’ procedure for the airbag or brake systems with a scan tool to finalize the integration.
How do I provide my VIN?
After you complete your purchase, you will need to send us your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN (Vehicle Identification Number). We cannot program and ship your order without it. You can typically find your VIN on your driver’s side dashboard (visible through the windshield) or on your vehicle’s registration or insurance documents.
Will this fix my specific electrical problem?
This module is the solution for a wide range of electrical issues caused by a faulty BCM. While we cannot diagnose your vehicle remotely, the symptoms listed above are the most common indicators. We recommend having a professional diagnosis performed if you are unsure, but a failing BCM is a very frequent cause of these problems in this 2010 Escalade EXT Body Control Module and related vehicles.
What if the airbag light comes on after I install it?
This is a known possibility. It simply means the BCM needs to be electronically ‘introduced’ to your vehicle’s airbag system (SDM). A qualified technician with a professional diagnostic tool can perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure in a few minutes to resolve this.
Does this part have a core charge?
No, there is no core charge for this part. You can keep your original module.
