Restore Full Electrical Function to Your GM Vehicle
Are you chasing down frustrating electrical gremlins in your 2010 GMC Yukon? Issues like flickering interior lights, power windows that won’t cooperate, a security light that stays on, or a dashboard that lights up with random warnings are classic signs of a failing Body Control Module (BCM). As the central hub for your vehicle’s body electronics, a faulty BCM can cause chaos. This isn’t just an annoyance; it can affect vehicle safety and security. We offer a reliable, direct-fit solution: a Body Control Module, part number 15093910, that arrives at your door programmed and ready for installation.
A Technician’s Notebook: The Case of the Haunted SUV
A customer brought in a 2010 Yukon XL with a list of complaints that sounded like the vehicle was possessed. The radio would turn off, the door locks would cycle while driving, and the “Service StabiliTrak” message would appear intermittently. A scan showed a U0140 code—Lost Communication With Body Control Module. After verifying the wiring and grounds were solid, we knew the BCM itself was the culprit. These modules manage so many data streams that when their internal processors or solder joints fail, the symptoms can seem completely unrelated. Replacing it with a pre-programmed unit like this one solved every single issue in one go, saving the customer hundreds in diagnostic time and a trip to the dealer.
Is Your Vehicle Showing These Symptoms?
A failing BCM can manifest in numerous ways. If you’re experiencing any of the following, this module is the likely solution.
- ✔ Power windows, mirrors, or door locks operating erratically or not at all.
- ✔ Interior or exterior lights flickering, staying on, or not turning on.
- ✔ The security system acting up, preventing the vehicle from starting (anti-theft light on).
- ✔ Horn sounding unexpectedly or not working when pressed.
- ✔ Dashboard warning lights appearing randomly (e.g., ABS, Airbag, Traction Control).
- ✔ Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) related to communication errors, such as U0140, U0155, or other U-codes.
- ✔ Wipers activating on their own or not responding to the switch.
The Smart Solution: VIN-Programmed for Your Vehicle
The biggest hurdle in replacing a BCM has always been the expensive and time-consuming programming required at a dealership. We eliminate that step entirely. When you purchase this 2010 Yukon Body Control Module, you simply provide us with your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN. Our technicians will then program the module with the latest GM-certified software specific to your vehicle’s exact configuration. This ensures all your factory-installed options work correctly right out of the box. It’s a true plug-and-play fix that saves you time and money.
A Straightforward Guide to Your BCM Installation
For a 2010 GMC Yukon, the BCM is located under the driver’s side of the dashboard, near the steering column. While professional installation is always an option, this is a manageable job for a confident DIYer.
- Safety First: Disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery and wait a few minutes for the system to fully discharge.
- Access the Module: Remove the lower dash panel (knee bolster) below the steering wheel. It’s typically held in by a few screws and clips.
- Locate the BCM: Identify the old BCM. It’s a black plastic box with several large multi-pin electrical connectors.
- Disconnect and Remove: Carefully unplug all electrical connectors. They have locking tabs that need to be depressed. Once disconnected, unbolt or unclip the module from its mounting bracket.
- Install the New Module: Mount your new, pre-programmed BCM in the same location. Securely plug in all the electrical connectors, ensuring each one clicks into place.
- Final Steps: Reinstall the lower dash panel and reconnect the negative battery terminal.
Important Post-Installation Information
After installing your new 2010 Yukon Body Control Module, your vehicle should start and run. However, depending on your specific model and options, a couple of additional steps, known as relearn procedures, may be necessary. These require a high-level diagnostic scan tool.
- Airbag System Sync: If your airbag warning light is illuminated after installation, a procedure called “Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM” is needed. This syncs the new BCM with the airbag system’s Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM).
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: To ensure correct brake light and traction control operation, a brake pedal position sensor relearn might be required.
- No Core Charge: We do not require you to send your old part back. There is no core charge associated with this purchase.
Disclaimer: Vehicle systems can be complex. Always refer to a factory service manual or consult with a qualified automotive technician if you are unsure about any part of the diagnostic or installation process.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to have this module programmed?
No. We handle all the programming for you before shipment. Just provide your vehicle’s VIN during checkout, and the module will arrive ready to install with the latest software for your specific vehicle.
Is this a difficult part to replace myself?
For most individuals with basic hand tools and some mechanical aptitude, this is a very manageable repair. The BCM on a 2010 Yukon is located in an accessible spot under the dashboard, making it a great DIY project that can save you significant labor costs.
What if my airbag light turns on after installation?
This is an infrequent but possible occurrence. It means the new BCM needs to be electronically ‘introduced’ to the airbag system computer (SDM). This requires a professional scan tool to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ function, a quick procedure for any professional mechanic.
Why is my VIN necessary for this part?
Your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) allows our technicians to access the specific build data for your truck from GM. This ensures we load the correct software and enable all the features your vehicle was equipped with from the factory, from power seats to the specific lighting controls.
Will this fix my check engine light?
A BCM typically controls body functions, not engine performance. If your check engine light is on, you likely have an issue with the Engine Control Module (ECM) or another powertrain component. A failing BCM is more likely to cause communication codes (U-codes) or warnings for systems like ABS, airbags, or security.
Do I need to send my old BCM back?
No, there is no core charge for this part. You can keep your old module or dispose of it responsibly.
