Are you chasing electrical gremlins in your 2010 GMC Yukon or another compatible GM vehicle? Flickering lights, unresponsive power windows, and random warning messages can be incredibly frustrating. These seemingly unrelated issues often point to a single culprit: a failing Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM is the central command center for your vehicle’s body electronics, and when it malfunctions, it can cause widespread chaos. This pre-programmed BCM is the direct-fit, reliable solution to restore order and get all your vehicle’s features working as they should.
This isn’t just a replacement part; it’s a complete service. We eliminate the guesswork and the need for a dealership visit by programming this module specifically for your vehicle using the VIN you provide at checkout. This critical step ensures the BCM has the correct software and configuration for your vehicle’s specific options. It arrives loaded with the latest GM software updates, often resolving issues that the original factory software didn’t. This is the most efficient way to replace a faulty BCM and restore your vehicle’s functionality.
From the Diagnostic Bay
We had a 2010 GMC Yukon come in that was driving the owner crazy. The radio would change stations on its own, the driver’s side window wouldn’t go down, and the alarm would randomly go off in the middle of the night. The owner had already replaced the battery and checked all the fuses. After a quick scan, we saw multiple communication errors pointing to the BCM. Instead of a complex and expensive dealer visit, we installed a VIN-programmed module just like this one. In under an hour, all the bizarre electrical problems were gone. It’s a perfect example of how one component can cause a cascade of issues.
Is Your BCM Failing? Watch for These Signs
- ✔ Power windows, door locks, or mirrors operating erratically or not at all.
- ✔ Interior dome lights or exterior headlights/taillights staying on or not turning on.
- ✔ The security system preventing the vehicle from starting (flashing security light).
- ✔ Unexplained battery drain that leaves you with a dead battery overnight.
- ✔ Horn honking randomly or not working when pressed.
- ✔ Dashboard warning lights for ABS, Airbag, or Traction Control appearing without a clear cause.
Installation and Post-Install Steps for your 2010 Yukon Body Control Module
Installation is straightforward for most DIYers and professional technicians. The module is typically located under the driver’s side dash near the steering column. Once installed, the vehicle will start and run. However, depending on your specific model and options, a couple of additional steps may be required:
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light comes on after installation, the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure will need to be performed with a professional diagnostic tool to sync the system and turn off the light. This is only required if the light appears.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: A brake pedal position sensor recalibration may be necessary to ensure proper brake light function and traction control system performance.
Specific procedures can vary by vehicle. Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician for guidance.

Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly does a Body Control Module do?
The BCM acts as the central computer for your vehicle’s comfort and convenience features. It controls power windows, locks, lights, the security system, climate controls, and more.
Is this BCM truly plug-and-play?
For most functions, yes. Because we program it to your VIN, your vehicle will start and run, and primary functions will be restored. However, as noted, some systems like the airbag may require a final sync with a professional scan tool if the warning light appears.
Where do I find my vehicle’s VIN?
Your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) can be found on your vehicle’s registration, insurance card, or on a plate on the driver’s side of the dashboard, visible through the windshield.
What happens if I don’t provide my VIN?
We cannot ship the module without your VIN. The programming is essential for the part to function correctly in your specific vehicle. We will contact you after your purchase to get this information.
Do I need to return my old BCM?
No, there is no core charge for this part. You can keep your original module.
