Restore Your GM Truck’s Brain and End Electrical Chaos
If you’re dealing with a cascade of bizarre electrical problems in your 2010 GMC Yukon—from flickering lights and malfunctioning power windows to a vehicle that won’t start—the Body Control Module (BCM) is often the culprit. As the central nervous system for your vehicle’s electronics, when the BCM fails, it can cause widespread and frustrating issues. This isn’t just an inconvenience; it can affect vehicle safety and reliability. Stop chasing individual symptoms and address the root cause with a dependable, pre-programmed replacement.
We offer a straightforward solution: a reliable Body Control Module, part number 15819552, that arrives at your door fully programmed to your vehicle’s specific VIN. We load the latest GM-certified software, ensuring seamless integration and optimal performance. This eliminates the need for expensive dealership programming or towing your vehicle to a shop. It’s the direct, effective fix you need to get your Yukon or other compatible GM vehicle back to functioning perfectly.
A Technician’s Notebook: The Case of the Phantom Battery Drain
A customer brought in a 2010 Tahoe, a sister vehicle to the Yukon, with a classic complaint: a dead battery every morning. They had already replaced the battery and alternator. During my diagnostic check, I noticed the interior lights would subtly glow long after the doors were shut. This pointed me straight to the BCM. In my 20+ years, I’ve seen hundreds of these BCMs fail internally, creating a parasitic draw that slowly drains the battery. A quick swap with a pre-programmed module like this one solved the problem instantly. The customer was thrilled to have a reliable vehicle again without paying dealership prices for diagnostics and programming.
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, door locks, or mirrors 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).
- ✔ Inconsistent or non-functional windshield wipers.
- ✔ The radio or infotainment system randomly turning off or on.
- ✔ Unexplained battery drain that leaves you stranded.
- ✔ Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) such as U0140 (Lost Communication With Body Control Module) or other U-codes indicating network issues.
Plug-and-Play Installation: A Straightforward Guide
Installing your new 2010 Yukon Body Control Module is a manageable job for a DIY enthusiast or professional mechanic. Because we program it beforehand, you skip the most complicated step.
- Safety First: Always disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery before starting any electrical work.
- Locate the BCM: On the 2010 Yukon and similar GM SUVs/trucks, 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 BCM. They have locking tabs that need to be pressed. Once disconnected, unbolt or unclip the module from its mounting bracket.
- Install the New BCM: Mount the new, pre-programmed module in the same location and securely re-attach all electrical connectors. Ensure they click into place.
- Reconnect and Test: Reconnect the negative battery terminal. Turn the key to the ‘On’ position and test all body functions—lights, locks, windows, wipers, etc.—to confirm proper operation.
Post-Installation Notes & Relearn Procedures
In some cases, your vehicle may require a simple relearn procedure to fully sync with the new BCM. This is normal. The two most common are:
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is illuminated after installation, a professional scan tool is needed to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure. This ensures the airbag system communicates correctly with the new BCM.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: A brake pedal position sensor recalibration might be necessary for proper brake light and traction control functionality. This can often be done with a capable bidirectional scan tool.
We simplify the process by handling the programming, and there’s no core charge. You can keep your original module without any extra fees or hassle.

Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I really need to provide my VIN?
Yes, absolutely. Providing your VIN is the most critical step. We use it to load the exact software and vehicle-specific options your 2010 Yukon came with from the factory. This ensures the module works correctly right out of the box.
Is this a difficult part to install myself?
For someone with basic mechanical skills, the physical swap is straightforward. The BCM is usually accessible under the dash. Since we handle the complex programming, you avoid the hardest part of the job. However, be prepared for potential relearn procedures as mentioned.
What happens if my airbag light comes on after installation?
This is a known possibility. The BCM and the airbag system (SDM) are linked for security. If the light appears, it simply means they need to be re-synced. A repair shop with a professional-grade scan tool can perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure in a few minutes.
Will this fix my specific electrical problem?
This 2010 Yukon Body Control Module is the definitive solution for a vast range of common electrical failures. If you’re experiencing multiple symptoms from the list above (erratic lights, locks, windows, etc.), a faulty BCM is the most probable cause.
Is there a core charge for my old BCM?
No, there is no core charge. We believe in making the repair process as simple and cost-effective as possible. You can keep or dispose of your old module without needing to send it back.
