Restore Your Yukon’s Electrical Systems with a Reliable, Programmed BCM
If you’re dealing with a cascade of bizarre electrical problems in your 2010 GMC Yukon—from flickering dashboard lights and erratic power windows to frustrating “Service StabiliTrak” messages or a vehicle that refuses to start—the Body Control Module (BCM) is the most likely culprit. As a technician with over two decades of experience, I’ve seen firsthand how a failing BCM can turn a reliable SUV into a source of constant headaches. It’s the central nervous system for your vehicle’s comfort and convenience features, and when it fails, chaos ensues.
Forget the expensive dealership visits and the hassle of towing. We offer a straightforward, dependable solution: a replacement BCM, part number 25847589, that arrives at your door fully programmed to your vehicle’s specific VIN. We load the latest GM software, ensuring seamless communication with your Yukon’s other modules right out of the box. This is the smart, efficient way to get your truck back to 100%.
A Technician’s Notebook: The Case of the Haunted SUV
I remember a 2010 Yukon XL that came into my shop with a list of symptoms that made no sense together. The radio would switch off randomly, the driver’s side power lock was dead, and the security light would stay on, preventing it from starting intermittently. The owner had already replaced the battery and checked all the fuses. A quick scan showed a slew of communication error codes (U-codes) pointing to the BCM. Instead of a costly diagnostic rabbit hole, we installed a VIN-programmed BCM. In under an hour, every single ghost in the machine was gone. This is why a quality, correctly programmed module is non-negotiable for these repairs.
Is Your Yukon Showing These Signs of BCM Failure?
- ✔️ Intermittent or non-functional power windows, door locks, or interior/exterior lights.
- ✔️ The security or anti-theft light stays illuminated, causing a no-start condition.
- ✔️ False warning messages on the driver information center (e.g., “Service Airbag,” “Service StabiliTrak”).
- ✔️ The horn sounds unexpectedly or doesn’t work at all.
- ✔️ Rapid battery drain when the vehicle is off.
- ✔️ Multiple communication Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs), such as U0140, U0155, or U0100.
Your Straightforward BCM Installation Guide
- ✔ Safety First: Always disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery and wait a few minutes before beginning.
- ✔ Locate the BCM: On a 2010 GMC Yukon, the Body Control Module is typically located under the driver’s side of the dashboard, near the steering column.
- ✔ Disconnect and Remove: Carefully unplug the electrical connectors. They have locking tabs that need to be depressed. Once disconnected, unbolt or unclip the old module and remove it.
- ✔ Install the New Module: Mount your new, pre-programmed BCM in the same location. Firmly plug in all the electrical connectors until they click securely into place.
- ✔ Reconnect Power: Reattach the negative battery terminal. Your installation is complete, with no programming required on your end!
Important Post-Installation Information
While this 2010 Yukon Body Control Module is designed for a simple installation, some vehicles may require a component relearn procedure. This is not a defect but a normal security handshake between modules.
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is on after installation, a shop with a professional scan tool will need to perform the “Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM” procedure. This is only necessary if the light appears.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: On some models, a brake pedal position sensor recalibration may be needed to ensure proper brake light and traction control operation.
We make it easy by offering a solution with no core charge. You can keep your original module without the hassle of shipping it back.

How do I provide my VIN for programming?
After you complete your purchase, you will receive an email prompting you to reply with your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN. We cannot ship your module until we receive this information, as we program it specifically for your truck.
Is any additional programming required after I install it?
No. This Body Control Module arrives fully programmed with the latest GM software based on your VIN. The installation is plug-and-play, though some vehicles may require minor relearn procedures as noted above.
What if my airbag light comes on after installation?
This is a normal possibility. It means the new BCM needs to be electronically introduced to the airbag system’s SDM. A repair shop with a capable bi-directional scan tool can perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure in a few minutes to resolve this.
Do I need to send my old BCM back?
No. We do not require a core return for this part. You can keep your old module.
Will this fix my specific problem?
This BCM is the solution for a wide range of common electrical failures. If your vehicle’s symptoms match those listed and diagnostics point to the BCM, this part is designed to be the definitive fix. Always confirm the diagnosis before ordering.
