Restore Your SUV’s Electrical Stability and Functionality
Is your 2010 GMC Yukon acting possessed? Flickering lights, malfunctioning power windows, a security system that won’t cooperate, or even a frustrating no-start condition can all point to one culprit: a failing Body Control Module (BCM). As the central command center for your vehicle’s body electronics, the BCM’s health is critical for a safe and enjoyable driving experience. When it fails, it can cause a cascade of confusing and unpredictable problems. This isn’t just an annoyance; it’s a matter of reliability and safety.
We offer a dependable and straightforward solution. This is a direct-fit replacement Body Control Module, part number 15093910, for a wide range of GM vehicles. The best part? We handle the programming for you. Simply provide your vehicle’s VIN during checkout, and our technicians will flash the module with the latest GM software updates specific to your Yukon. This means no expensive trips to the dealership for programming. You receive a component that is ready for installation right out of the box, saving you significant time and money.
A Technician’s Notebook: The Phantom Power Drain
I once had a 2010 Yukon in my bay with a classic BCM failure story. The owner was fed up with finding his battery dead every few mornings. He’d already replaced the battery and alternator, but the parasitic draw persisted. After hooking up my ammeter, I saw a significant draw that wouldn’t go away even after the vehicle should have been asleep. By pulling fuses one by one, we isolated the draw to the BCM circuit. The internal components of the original 2010 Yukon Body Control Module had failed, preventing it from entering its low-power sleep mode. Installing a VIN-programmed BCM didn’t just fix the power drain; it also resolved intermittent issues with his radio and interior lights he had learned to live with. It’s a perfect example of how one part can be the root of many seemingly unrelated issues.
Common Signs of a Failing BCM
If you’re experiencing any of the following, a faulty BCM could be the cause. In my 20+ years of experience, these are the most frequent indicators I’ve seen in the shop, often accompanied by communication error codes like U0140.
- ✔ Power windows, door locks, or mirrors operating erratically or not at all.
- ✔ Interior or exterior lights flickering, staying on, or not turning on.
- ✔ The security system or keyless entry failing to work correctly.
- ✔ The horn sounding randomly or not working when pressed.
- ✔ Unexplained battery drain that leads to a dead battery overnight.
- ✔ Warning lights on the dashboard appearing without a clear cause.
- ✔ A no-start or intermittent starting condition where the engine cranks but won’t fire.
A Straightforward Guide to BCM Installation
Replacing the 2010 Yukon Body Control Module is a manageable job for a confident DIYer. The BCM is typically located under the driver’s side of the dashboard, near the steering column. Always consult a service manual for your specific vehicle for precise location and torque specs.
- Safety First: Disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery and wait a few minutes to ensure all systems are powered down.
- Locate the BCM: On the 2010 Yukon, you’ll find it under the driver’s side dash. You may need to remove a lower dash panel for access.
- Disconnect Connectors: Carefully release the locking tabs on the electrical connectors and unplug them from the old BCM. Do not force them.
- Remove the Old Module: Unbolt the old BCM from its mounting bracket and remove it from the vehicle.
- Install the New BCM: Mount your new, pre-programmed BCM in the same location and secure it.
- Reconnect Everything: Plug the electrical connectors firmly into the new module until they click into place. Reconnect the negative battery terminal.
- Perform Relearns: Start the vehicle. You may need to perform additional procedures, such as the Brake Pedal Position Relearn or an Airbag System Sync if a warning light is present. A professional scan tool may be required for these steps.

Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to send my old BCM back?
No, there is no core charge for this part. You can keep your original module.
Is this part difficult to install myself?
For someone with basic mechanical skills, it is a manageable task. The most important part is ensuring you have access to the module under the dash. The pre-programming we provide eliminates the most difficult step.
What information do you need to program the BCM?
After you place your order, we will need the 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) from your vehicle. This ensures we load the exact software and configuration for your specific options.
What is the Airbag System Sync?
After installation, if your airbag warning light is on, the new BCM needs to be electronically ‘introduced’ to the airbag’s computer (SDM). This requires a professional-grade scan tool to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure.
Will this fix my check engine light?
A BCM typically controls body functions, not engine performance. While it can cause a no-start condition, it’s unlikely to be the cause of a standard check engine light, which is usually related to the Engine Control Module (ECM).
Why should I buy a pre-programmed module?
Buying a pre-programmed 2010 Yukon Body Control Module saves you from having to get your vehicle towed to a dealership and paying their high labor rates for programming services. It’s a huge time and cost saver.
