Restore Your Yukon’s Electrical System with a Reliable, Programmed BCM
If your 2010 GMC Yukon is experiencing a baffling array of electrical issues—like flickering dashboard lights, erratic power windows and locks, or a security system that prevents the engine from starting—you’re not alone. These are classic signs of a failing Body Control Module (BCM), the central hub for your vehicle’s body electronics. Driving with a faulty BCM isn’t just frustrating; it can compromise your vehicle’s safety and reliability. This module is the definitive solution, arriving at your door programmed to your vehicle’s specific VIN.
We take the guesswork and high dealership costs out of the equation. Simply provide your VIN during checkout, and our technicians will flash this module with the latest GM software for your exact vehicle configuration. This means no expensive trips to the dealer for programming. This is a direct-fit, effective solution designed to get your truck back to perfect working order quickly and affordably. With this pre-programmed 2010 Yukon Body Control Module, you can confidently tackle the repair yourself or save your mechanic significant time.
Case Study: A Tricky Diagnosis
A customer brought in a 2010 Tahoe (a sister vehicle to the Yukon) with a complaint that stumped two other shops. The radio would turn on by itself, the door locks would cycle while driving, and occasionally, the truck wouldn’t start, showing only a flashing security light. No check engine light was on, but a deep scan showed multiple U-codes, specifically U0140 (Lost Communication With Body Control Module). In my 20 years of experience, intermittent communication loss almost always points to an internal BCM failure. We installed one of our VIN-programmed modules, and all the bizarre electrical gremlins vanished instantly. The customer was thrilled to have his truck back without the dealership’s multi-day wait and high bill.
Is Your GM Vehicle Showing These Symptoms?
A failing BCM can manifest in numerous ways. If you’re experiencing any of the following, it’s a strong indicator that your module needs replacement:
- ✔ Power windows, mirrors, or door locks operating intermittently or not at all.
- ✔ Interior or exterior lights flickering, staying on, or not turning on.
- ✔ The anti-theft or security system light is flashing, preventing the engine from cranking.
- ✔ Inaccurate readings on the instrument cluster gauges.
- ✔ Warning messages like “Service StabiliTrak” or “Service Airbag” appearing on the dash.
- ✔ Communication-related Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs), such as U0140, U0155, or B1001.
- ✔ A battery that drains overnight with no other obvious cause.
A Straightforward Guide to Installation
Installing your new BCM is a manageable job for a DIYer with basic tools. While the exact location can vary slightly by model, the process is generally similar.
- Safety First: Always disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery and wait at least 10 minutes to allow capacitors to discharge.
- Locate the BCM: On most GMT900 trucks and SUVs like the 2010 Yukon, the BCM is located under the driver’s side of the dashboard, often near the steering column or kick panel.
- Remove Connectors: Carefully disconnect all electrical connectors from the old module. They have locking tabs that need to be depressed. Do not force them. Note their colors and positions for easier reinstallation.
- Unbolt the Module: Remove the bolts or nuts securing the old BCM to its mounting bracket and take it out.
- Install the New BCM: Mount your new, pre-programmed module in the same location and secure it.
- Reconnect Everything: Plug all electrical connectors back into their correct ports on the new BCM. You should hear a click as they lock into place. Reconnect the negative battery terminal.
- Perform Relearns: Start the vehicle. As noted below, you may need to perform a Brake Pedal Position relearn or an Airbag System sync if related warning lights appear. This is a normal part of the process.
Important Post-Installation Information
Because this 2010 Yukon Body Control Module is the nerve center for many systems, some final sync procedures may be required after installation. This is standard for this type of repair.
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag light is on 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 Relearn: On some models, a brake pedal position sensor relearn may be needed to ensure correct brake light operation and StabiliTrak function.
- No Core Charge: You are not required to return your old module. This saves you the time, hassle, and expense of a core return.
Disclaimer: Vehicle systems vary. We always recommend consulting a factory service manual or a certified technician if you are unsure about any step.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does this BCM need my VIN?
Your vehicle’s VIN allows us to program the Body Control Module with the specific software and settings for your Yukon’s options (like drivetrain, key type, lighting, etc.). This ensures it works correctly right out of the box, eliminating the need for dealer programming.
Is this a difficult part to replace myself?
For someone with basic mechanical skills, this is a very manageable DIY repair. The main challenge is typically accessing the module under the dashboard. Our pre-programming service handles the most complex part of the job.
Will this fix my “Service StabiliTrak” message?
In many cases, yes. The BCM is a critical component of the StabiliTrak system. When it fails, it often triggers this warning. However, other sensors can also cause this message, so a proper diagnosis is always recommended.
What happens if my airbag light comes on after I install it?
This is a normal possibility. It simply means the new BCM needs to be electronically ‘introduced’ to the airbag’s computer (SDM). A repair shop with a professional-grade scan tool can perform the “Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM” procedure in a few minutes to resolve this.
Is there a core charge for my old part?
No, there is no core charge. You can keep your old module, which saves you the cost and inconvenience of shipping it back.
