Restore Full Functionality to Your GM Vehicle
Are you chasing down frustrating electrical gremlins in your 2010 GMC Yukon? Issues like flickering interior lights, power windows and locks acting on their own, a security system that won’t cooperate, or even a vehicle that refuses to start can often be traced back to one single component: a failing Body Control Module (BCM). As the central nervous system for your vehicle’s body electronics, a faulty BCM can create a cascade of confusing and seemingly unrelated problems. This isn’t just an annoyance; it’s a matter of reliability and safety.
This replacement Body Control Module, corresponding to part number 15819552, is the definitive solution. We take the guesswork and extra expense out of the repair. Simply provide us with your vehicle’s VIN during checkout, and our technicians will program the module with the latest official GM software specific to your vehicle. It arrives at your door ready for a straightforward installation, saving you a costly trip to the dealership for programming.
A Technician’s Notebook
A customer brought in their 2010 Yukon last month with a classic case of BCM failure. The dash lights would flicker randomly, the radio would cut out, and occasionally the truck wouldn’t start, showing a ‘Service Theft Deterrent System’ message. They had already replaced the battery and checked the grounds. After connecting my diagnostic tool, I saw multiple communication loss codes with various modules. In my 20+ years of experience, this pattern almost always points to the BCM. We installed one of our pre-programmed modules, and within an hour, every single issue was resolved. The customer was relieved to have their reliable Yukon back without the massive dealership bill.
Is Your Yukon Exhibiting These BCM Failure Signs?
- ✔ Intermittent or non-functional power windows, door locks, or mirrors.
- ✔ Erratic instrument cluster behavior, with gauges dropping out or warning lights flashing.
- ✔ Malfunctioning interior or exterior lighting (dome lights, headlights, etc.).
- ✔ Vehicle security system issues, including false alarms or no-start conditions.
- ✔ Problems with the heating and A/C controls.
- ✔ Communication errors with other vehicle modules (DTC U-codes).
A Straightforward Guide to BCM Installation
- Safety First: Always disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery before starting any electrical work.
- Locate the BCM: On a 2010 GMC Yukon, the BCM is typically located under the driver’s side of the dashboard, near the steering column.
- Remove Trim Panels: You may need to remove the lower dash panel or knee bolster to gain access. These are usually held by a few screws or clips.
- Disconnect and Remove: Carefully unplug the electrical connectors from the old BCM. They have locking tabs that must be depressed. Once disconnected, unbolt or unclip the module from its mounting bracket.
- Install the New BCM: Mount the new, pre-programmed BCM in the same location and reconnect all electrical harnesses. Ensure they click securely into place.
- Final Steps: Reinstall any trim panels you removed and reconnect the negative battery terminal.
Important Post-Installation Procedures
After installing your new 2010 Yukon Body Control Module, a couple of additional steps are required to ensure all systems operate correctly. These procedures require a professional-grade diagnostic scan tool.
- Airbag System Reset: To clear the airbag warning light, the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure must be performed. This re-establishes communication between the BCM and the airbag system’s Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM).
- Brake Pedal Position Sensor Relearn: Some vehicles may require the Brake Pedal Position Sensor to be recalibrated. This ensures systems like cruise control and traction control function safely and accurately.
If you are not equipped to perform these steps, a local qualified mechanic can complete them for you. Consulting your vehicle’s service manual is always recommended.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to get this BCM programmed by a dealer?
No. We program the module to your vehicle’s specific VIN before shipping it to you. It arrives ready to be installed, saving you that extra step and expense.
Where is the BCM located on a 2010 GMC Yukon?
The Body Control Module is typically found under the driver’s side dashboard, attached to a bracket near the steering column. You will likely need to remove the lower dash panel for access.
What information do you need from me?
After you complete your purchase, we will need your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) to program the module correctly. Please double-check it for accuracy.
Will this fix my intermittent ‘Service Stabilitrak’ or ‘Service 4WD’ messages?
While a failing BCM can cause a wide variety of issues, including communication faults that may trigger those messages, it’s not the only cause. It’s important to have the vehicle properly diagnosed, but if you’re also experiencing other electrical symptoms listed here, a faulty BCM is a very likely culprit.
Is this a simple plug-and-play installation?
The physical installation is plug-and-play. However, as noted above, post-installation procedures like resetting the airbag system and relearning the brake pedal sensor are required for full system functionality and must be done with a professional scan tool.
