Restore Your Vehicle’s Electrical System with a VIN-Programmed BCM
Are you chasing down frustrating electrical gremlins in your 2010 GMC Yukon? Flickering lights, malfunctioning power windows or locks, a security light that won’t turn off, or even a vehicle that refuses to start can all point to a single culprit: a failing Body Control Module (BCM). As the central command center for your vehicle’s comfort and security features, a faulty BCM can cause widespread and unpredictable problems. This isn’t just an inconvenience; it can be a serious safety issue. Stop the guesswork and replace it with a reliable, plug-and-play solution.
This Body Control Module is the definitive fix. We take the hassle and expense out of the repair by programming the module to your vehicle’s specific VIN before we ship it. This means it arrives at your door loaded with the latest GM software updates and ready for installation. You get a part that communicates flawlessly with your vehicle’s other systems, restoring function and peace of mind without a costly trip to the dealership for programming.
A Technician’s Notebook: The Case of the Haunted SUV
I once had a 2010 Yukon in my bay with a list of symptoms that sounded like something out of a horror movie. The owner said his interior lights would pulse randomly, the radio would shut off, and the door locks would cycle while driving. He’d already replaced the battery and checked the main grounds. A scan showed a dozen intermittent communication codes (U-codes) with various modules. This is a classic sign of a BCM failure. The module itself was shorting internally, flooding the data network with junk signals and causing chaos. We installed a VIN-programmed BCM, and every single issue vanished instantly. It’s a repair I’ve done hundreds of times on these GM platforms.
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 likely the solution you need:
- âś” Erratic or non-functional interior and exterior lights.
- âś” Power windows, mirrors, or door locks operating intermittently or not at all.
- âś” The anti-theft or security system light staying on, preventing the engine from starting.
- âś” False warnings on the driver information center (e.g., “Service StabiliTrak,” “Service Airbag”).
- âś” Communication-related Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs), especially U-codes like U0140, U0155, or U0100.
- âś” The horn sounding unexpectedly or not working at all.
- âś” Issues with key fob recognition and remote start functions.
A Straightforward Guide to Your BCM Installation
Replacing the 2010 Yukon Body Control Module is a manageable job for a confident DIYer or any professional technician. With our pre-programming, you skip the most difficult step.
- Safety First: Disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery and wait a few minutes for the system capacitors to discharge.
- Locate the BCM: On a 2010 Yukon, the BCM is typically located under the driver’s side of the dashboard, near the steering column. You may need to remove a lower dash panel for access.
- Disconnect and Remove: Carefully unplug the electrical connectors from the old module. They have locking tabs that need to be depressed. Once disconnected, unbolt or unclip the old BCM from its mounting bracket.
- Install the New Module: Mount your new, pre-programmed BCM onto the bracket and securely plug in all the electrical connectors. You should hear a click as they lock into place.
- Reconnect and Test: Re-install any trim panels you removed. Reconnect the negative battery terminal. Turn the key to the ‘On’ position and test all body functions—lights, locks, windows, horn, etc.—to confirm the repair.
Important Post-Installation Notes
While our programming handles the heavy lifting, some vehicles may require a simple ‘relearn’ or ‘sync’ procedure for specific systems after the new 2010 Yukon Body Control Module is installed. These are often required to ensure all safety systems are correctly calibrated.
- Airbag System Sync: If your airbag warning light is illuminated after installation, a professional scan tool is needed to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure. This syncs the new BCM with the airbag system.
- Brake Pedal Position (BPP) Relearn: On some models, a BPP sensor relearn may be necessary to ensure correct brake light operation and to prevent issues with the traction control system.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to do any programming myself?
No. We handle all the programming before shipping. Just provide your vehicle’s VIN during checkout, and the module will arrive ready to install. This service saves you a trip to the dealer.
Is this a simple plug-and-play installation?
For the most part, yes. You simply swap the old module with this new one. However, as noted above, some vehicles may require an additional relearn procedure for the airbag or brake pedal position sensor, which may require a professional scan tool.
Will this fix my no-start problem?
If your no-start condition is caused by the factory anti-theft system (Passlock/VATS) being triggered by a faulty BCM, then yes, this part will resolve the issue.
What is a core charge? Do I need to send my old part back?
There is absolutely no core charge for this part. You can keep your old module, saving you the time and expense of a return shipment.
How do I find my original BCM part number?
The part number is printed on a sticker on the case of your original BCM. You will need to access the module in your vehicle to read it. Alternatively, you can provide us with your VIN, and we can verify the correct part for you.
