Is Your 2010 Escalade EXT Acting Possessed?
As a technician with over two decades of experience, I’ve seen it all. A customer’s 2010 Escalade EXT gets towed in, and the complaint list is a mile long: the radio cuts out randomly, the power windows have a mind of their own, the alarm goes off for no reason, and the dash is lit up with warnings like “Service Theft System.” These aren’t separate problems; they’re classic symptoms of a failing Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM is the central nervous system for your truck’s comfort and convenience features, and when it starts to fail, it creates frustrating and unpredictable electrical chaos.

Common Symptoms of a Failing GM BCM:

- โ Communication error codes (U-codes) when scanned with a diagnostic tool
Direct-Fit Installation Guide for the 2010 Escalade EXT BCM
Replacing the BCM on your Escalade is a straightforward job that a confident DIYer can handle. The module 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 10-15 minutes before beginning any electrical work.
- Access the Module: Remove the lower dash panel beneath the steering column to gain access to the BCM. It’s usually held in by a few clips or screws.
- Disconnect and Remove: Carefully unplug the electrical connectors from the old BCM. They have locking tabs that need to be depressed. Once disconnected, unbolt or unclip the old module from its mounting bracket.
- Install the New BCM: Mount your new, pre-programmed BCM in the same location and reconnect all electrical connectors, ensuring they click securely into place.
- Reassemble and Reconnect: Reinstall the lower dash panel and reconnect the negative battery terminal.
Important Post-Installation Procedures
Because this module communicates with critical safety systems, a couple of final steps are necessary to ensure full functionality. These procedures require a professional-grade bidirectional scan tool.
- Airbag System Reset: To clear the airbag warning light, you must perform the “Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM” procedure. This re-establishes the security handshake between the new BCM and the airbag system’s Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM).
- Brake Pedal Position Sensor Relearn: Some vehicles may require the Brake Pedal Position (BPP) sensor to be recalibrated. This ensures the brake lights and stability control system receive accurate input from the brake pedal.
