Are you battling bizarre and frustrating electrical problems in your 2010 Chevy Tahoe or another GM vehicle? Flickering lights, unresponsive power windows, a security system that has a mind of its own, or even a vehicle that refuses to start can all point to a single culprit: a failing Body Control Module (BCM). Don’t let these electronic gremlins compromise your vehicle’s reliability and your peace of mind. This is the direct, dependable solution to restore full functionality and get you back on the road with confidence.
Common Symptoms & Your Solution
A faulty BCM can cause a cascade of confusing issues. If you’re experiencing any of the following, this module is the definitive fix you need:
- Intermittent or non-working power windows, door locks, and interior lights.
- Erratic instrument cluster behavior or warning lights that won’t turn off.
- Security system faults or the vehicle immobilizer preventing the engine from starting.
- Problems with the radio, climate control, or other accessory functions.

Expert Insight: The Smart Alternative to the Dealership
As a technician, I’ve seen countless owners get frustrated by BCM issues. Many consider a used part from a salvage yard, but that’s a gamble. A used BCM is programmed to a different vehicle and will not work correctly—if at all—without being wiped and reprogrammed by a dealer. Our solution provides the best of all worlds: a quality component, flashed with the latest clean software specific to your VIN, at a fraction of the cost. You’re not just buying a part; you’re buying a pre-built solution that saves you a trip, diagnostic fees, and programming charges. This Programmed 2010 Tahoe Body Control Module is the most efficient path to a reliable repair.
Important Post-Installation Information
While this Programmed 2010 Tahoe Body Control Module is designed for a straightforward installation, some vehicles may require one or more relearn procedures to sync all systems perfectly. These are standard procedures after a BCM replacement and may require a professional scan tool:
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is on after installation, a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure must be performed to sync the new BCM with the airbag system.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: A recalibration of the brake pedal position sensor may be needed to ensure correct brake light operation and to satisfy the traction control system.
Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician for vehicle-specific guidance.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the programming process work?
After you place your order, you will need to provide us with your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN. Our technicians use this VIN to download the latest official GM software for your exact model and options, and then we flash that software onto the module before it ships. This ensures it’s ready to be installed when you receive it.
Is this a plug-and-play part?
For most functions, yes. Because it comes pre-programmed to your VIN, it will immediately restore control over most body functions. However, as noted above, certain safety systems like the airbag (SRS) or brake position sensor may require a simple relearn procedure with a capable scan tool to fully sync with the new module.
What happens if my airbag light comes on after installation?
This is a normal security measure in GM vehicles. The new BCM needs to be electronically ‘introduced’ to the airbag’s Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) module. A technician with a bi-directional scan tool can perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure in a few minutes to turn off the light.
Do I need to return my old BCM?
No. This product has no core charge. You can keep, discard, or recycle your original module at your convenience without any impact on your purchase or warranty.
How do I find my vehicle’s VIN?
Your VIN can be found on a metal plate on the driver’s side of the dashboard (visible through the windshield), on the driver’s side door jamb sticker, or on your vehicle’s registration and insurance documents.
