Restore Your Truck’s Electrical System with a Reliable BCM
Are you dealing with baffling electrical problems in your 2010 GMC Yukon? Flickering dashboard lights, power windows with a mind of their own, or a security system that won’t cooperate are classic signs of a failing Body Control Module (BCM). As the central command for your vehicle’s body electronics, a faulty BCM can cause a cascade of frustrating issues. This isn’t just an inconvenience; it can affect the safety and reliability of your truck. This module is the direct, dependable solution to restore order and get your Yukon operating exactly as it should.
A Technician’s Notebook: The BCM Puzzle
I remember a 2010 Yukon that rolled into my bay with a laundry list of complaints. The owner was frustrated because the dome lights would stay on, the radio presets kept resetting, and the remote keyless entry was completely dead. He’d already replaced the battery, thinking it was a simple power issue. After connecting my scan tool, I found multiple communication error codes (U-codes) pointing to a network problem. In my 20+ years of experience, this pattern almost always leads back to one component: the BCM. It’s the traffic cop for all these systems, and when it starts failing, chaos ensues. We swapped in a VIN-programmed BCM, and instantly, all the gremlins vanished. This single part solved half a dozen problems at once.
Is Your Vehicle Showing These Symptoms?
- ✔ Erratic or non-functional interior and exterior lights
- ✔ Power windows or door locks operating intermittently or not at all
- ✔ The security system or anti-theft light staying on
- ✔ Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) failure
- ✔ Dashboard warning lights illuminating for no reason
- ✔ Communication error codes, particularly U-codes like U0140, U0155, or U0164
- ✔ Inconsistent A/C and climate control operation

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 your 2010 Yukon, the Body Control Module is typically found under the driver’s side of the dashboard, near the steering column.
- ✔ Disconnect and Remove: Carefully unplug the electrical connectors from the old module. They have locking tabs that need to be depressed. Once disconnected, unbolt the module from its mounting bracket.
- ✔ Install the New Module: Mount your new, pre-programmed BCM in the same location and securely plug in all the electrical connectors. You should hear a click as they lock into place.
- ✔ Reconnect and Test: Reconnect the negative battery terminal. Turn the key to the ‘On’ position and test all functions: lights, windows, locks, radio, and wipers to confirm the repair.
- ✔ Final Checks: As noted below, some vehicles may require a ‘Brake Pedal Position Relearn’ or ‘Airbag System Sync’ with a professional scan tool if related warning lights appear.
Important Post-Installation Information
While this module is programmed for your VIN, certain vehicle security and safety systems may require a relearn procedure after installation to sync properly. These are standard GM procedures.
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is illuminated after installation, a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure must be performed by a qualified technician with a high-level scan tool.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: To ensure proper brake light and traction control function, a brake pedal position sensor recalibration may be necessary on some models.
Disclaimer: Procedures can vary. Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified professional for vehicle-specific guidance.

Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly does the Body Control Module do?
The BCM is a computer that manages most of your vehicle’s non-engine related electronic functions. This includes power windows, locks, seats, lights, wipers, the security system, and climate controls. When it fails, these systems can become unreliable.
Is this module difficult to install?
For someone with basic mechanical skills, installation is very manageable. The main benefit of our service is that the module arrives pre-programmed to your VIN, which eliminates the most difficult step. You simply need basic hand tools to swap the physical part.
How do I provide my VIN for programming?
After you complete your purchase, you will need to send us your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). We will then program the BCM with the latest GM software for your specific vehicle before we ship it.
Do I need to send my old BCM back?
No. This product comes with no core charge. You can keep your original module without any extra fees or hassle.
What if my airbag light comes on after installation?
This is a possibility due to vehicle security protocols. It simply means the new BCM needs to be synced with the airbag’s Supplemental Deployment Module (SDM). This is a quick procedure called ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ that can be done by a shop with a professional-grade diagnostic tool.
