Are you chasing electrical gremlins in your 2010 GMC Yukon? Flickering lights, malfunctioning power windows, a security system that acts up, or a dashboard lit up with random warnings are all classic signs of a failing Body Control Module (BCM). As the central nervous system for your vehicle’s electronics, when the BCM starts to go, it can cause a host of frustrating and seemingly unrelated problems. I’ve seen it hundreds of times in my shop—a customer comes in at their wit’s end, and a faulty BCM is the culprit.
This isn’t just a replacement part; it’s a complete, ready-to-install solution. We take the guesswork and the expensive trip to the dealership out of the equation. Simply provide your vehicle’s VIN at checkout, and our technicians will program this module with the latest, most stable GM software specific to your Yukon. This ensures all factory options and security features work exactly as they should, right out of the box.
Case Study: A Tricky Diagnosis
A customer brought in a 2010 Tahoe (which uses the same platform as the Yukon) with a bizarre issue: the radio would turn on by itself, the door locks would cycle randomly, and the low beams wouldn’t work, but the high beams would. They had already replaced the battery and checked all the fuses. A scan showed communication loss codes with multiple modules (U0140, U0155). Instead of shotgunning parts, we went straight to the BCM. A quick check of the data stream showed erratic voltage outputs. Swapping in a pre-programmed BCM like this one solved every single issue in under an hour. It’s a prime example of how one failing module can wreak havoc on the entire vehicle.
Is Your GM Vehicle Showing These Symptoms?
- ✔ Intermittent or non-working power windows, door locks, or interior lights.
- ✔ The security system light stays on, or the alarm goes off unexpectedly.
- ✔ Headlights, taillights, or turn signals behaving erratically.
- ✔ The engine won’t crank, or the vehicle won’t start, even with a good battery.
- ✔ Multiple, unrelated warning lights on the instrument cluster (ABS, Airbag, Traction Control).
- ✔ Communication loss codes with other modules, such as U0100, U0140, or similar.
Solving the Problem with a Pre-Programmed 2010 Yukon Body Control Module
A failing BCM can be a diagnostic nightmare for both seasoned mechanics and DIY enthusiasts. By providing a module that is already flashed to your specific vehicle, we eliminate the most complex step of the repair. You won’t need access to a proprietary GM Techline computer or an expensive subscription service. This direct-fit replacement restores the critical communication pathways between your vehicle’s various electronic systems, bringing reliability and full functionality back to your truck.
A Straightforward Guide to Your BCM Replacement
- ✔ Safety First: Always disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery before beginning any electrical work.
- ✔ Locate the BCM: On a 2010 Yukon, the Body Control Module is typically found under the steering column, on the driver’s side of the dash. 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 depressed. Once disconnected, unbolt or unclip the module from its mounting bracket.
- ✔ Install the New Module: Mount your new, pre-programmed BCM in the same location. Securely reconnect all the electrical connectors, ensuring they click into place.
- ✔ Perform Relearns (If Needed): As noted below, certain systems like the airbag or brake pedal position sensor may require a relearn procedure with a capable scan tool if a warning light is present.
Important Post-Installation Information
While this module is programmed for your VIN, some vehicle systems require a final handshake after installation. Please be aware of the following potential procedures:
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag light is illuminated after installation, a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure must be performed with a professional-grade diagnostic tool. This is a security measure to sync the new BCM with the airbag system.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: On some models, the brake pedal position sensor may need to be recalibrated to ensure proper brake light operation and to prevent issues with the traction control system.
Disclaimer: Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician for procedures specific to your vehicle.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to send my old BCM back?
No, there is no core charge for this part. You can keep your original module.
Is this a simple plug-and-play installation?
Yes, for the most part. We program it to your VIN, so it’s ready to install without needing dealer programming. However, as mentioned, some vehicles may require a final relearn procedure for the airbag or brake systems if a warning light appears.
What information do you need from me?
After you complete your purchase, you will need to provide us with your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN. We cannot program and ship the module without it.
Will this fix my ‘Service StabiliTrak’ or ‘Service Traction Control’ message?
A failing BCM can sometimes cause these warnings due to lost communication or bad data from sensors like the brake pedal position sensor. While this module can be the solution, these warnings can also be caused by other components, so proper diagnosis is always recommended.
How long does the programming process take?
Programming is completed before we ship. Once we receive your VIN, we typically program and dispatch your order within one business day.
