Get your vehicle back to factory-fresh functionality without the dealership hassle or cost.

Common Signs of a Failing BCM

If your vehicle is experiencing these symptoms, a faulty BCM is the likely cause. In my shop, I’ve seen these issues hundreds of times, often accompanied by communication codes like U0140, U0155, or U0164.

• ✔ Intermittent or non-functional power windows, locks, or mirrors.
• ✔ Erratic interior or exterior lighting (flickering, staying on, or not working at all).
• ✔ Malfunctioning radio or infotainment system.
• ✔ Security system faults or the vehicle not recognizing the key fob.
• ✔ A no-start or no-crank condition, even with a good battery.
• ✔ Warning lights on the dash, such as for the airbag or traction control system.
• ✔ Wipers operating incorrectly or turning on by themselves.

A Straightforward Guide to BCM Installation

Replacing the 2010 Tahoe Body Control Module is a manageable job for a confident DIYer. On the Tahoe/Yukon platform, it’s typically located under the driver’s side of the dashboard, near the steering column.

1. Safety First: Always disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery and wait a few minutes to allow all systems to power down completely.
2. Locate the BCM: On your 2010 Tahoe, access the area under the driver-side dash. You may need to remove a lower dash panel for better access. The BCM is a small black box with several large multi-pin electrical connectors.
3. Disconnect and Remove: Carefully unplug all electrical connectors. They have locking tabs that need to be depressed. Once all connectors are free, unbolt or unclip the old module from its mounting bracket.
4. Install the New Module: Mount your new, pre-programmed BCM in the same location. Firmly plug in all the electrical connectors, ensuring each one clicks securely into place. A loose connection is a common cause of post-installation problems.
5. Reconnect and Test: Reconnect the negative battery terminal. Turn the key to the ‘On’ position (without starting the engine) and test all body functions: lights, locks, windows, radio, and wipers.
6. Perform Relearn Procedures: As noted in our technical information, some vehicles may require a ‘Brake Pedal Position Relearn’ or an ‘Airbag System Sync’ using a professional scan tool if related warning lights appear.
