Restore Your Truck’s Electrical System and Drive with Confidence
Are you dealing with frustrating and unpredictable electrical issues in your GMC Yukon? Flickering lights, malfunctioning power windows, a security system that acts on its own, or an engine that refuses to start can all point to a failing Body Control Module (BCM). This isn’t just an annoyance; it’s a critical failure that compromises your vehicle’s comfort, security, and reliability. This pre-programmed 2010 Yukon XL 1500 Body Control Module is the definitive, hassle-free solution to restore your vehicle’s electronic nervous system and get you back on the road with peace of mind.
Common Symptoms & Your Solution
A faulty BCM can cause a cascade of confusing problems. If you’re experiencing any of the following, it’s a strong indicator that your BCM needs replacement:
- Power windows, door locks, or mirrors working intermittently or not at all.
- Interior or exterior lights staying on, flickering, or not turning on.
- The security system engaging randomly, preventing the engine from starting (PassLock/PassKey issues).
- Warning lights on the dashboard appearing without a clear cause.
- Communication error codes (U-codes) stored in the vehicle’s computer system.
Instead of paying for expensive diagnostic time and programming fees at a dealership, this module arrives at your door ready for installation. We use your vehicle’s VIN to flash the BCM with the latest, most stable software updates from GM, ensuring it communicates perfectly with all other modules in your truck right out of the box.

Expert Insight: Why Pre-Programming is Non-Negotiable
As a technician with over 20 years of experience, I’ve seen countless people try to save a few dollars by installing a used, non-programmed BCM. It almost never works. Your Yukon’s BCM is like the central hub for a complex computer network. It needs to know the specific options your vehicle was built with—from the type of radio to the presence of a sunroof. Without the correct VIN-specific programming, the module can’t communicate properly, leading to even more electrical chaos than you started with. Our service takes that critical, complex step and handles it for you, ensuring the part you receive is truly ready for your specific 2010 Yukon XL 1500 Body Control Module and its unique configuration.
Important Post-Installation Information
While this BCM is programmed for a straightforward installation, some vehicle systems may require a quick recalibration procedure with a professional scan tool to sync properly. Please be aware of the following possibilities:
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is on after installation, a “Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM” procedure is needed to sync the new BCM with the airbag module.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: On some models, a brake pedal position sensor relearn may be required to ensure proper brake light and traction control operation.
These are standard procedures when replacing a BCM and are not indicative of a faulty part. We recommend consulting a factory service manual or a qualified technician if you are unfamiliar with these processes.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does a Body Control Module do?
The BCM is a computer that controls and monitors many of the non-engine related functions in your vehicle. This includes power windows, locks, interior and exterior lighting, the alarm system, wipers, and various other comfort and convenience features.
How do I know if my BCM is failing?
Common signs include erratic behavior of electronics, such as lights flickering, windows not working, the security system acting up, or a no-start condition. A professional diagnosis with a scan tool can often confirm a faulty BCM by revealing communication error codes.
Is this module difficult to install?
Physically, the BCM is often located under the dashboard and is a plug-and-play component. The main challenge is typically the programming, which we handle for you. However, some post-installation sync procedures, like for the airbag system, may require a professional-grade scan tool.
Why do you need my VIN?
Your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) allows us to access the exact build data for your truck. We use this information to program the 2010 Yukon XL 1500 Body Control Module with the correct software and settings for your specific options, ensuring it works perfectly upon installation.
What happens if my airbag light comes on after installation?
This is a normal security measure. The new BCM needs to be electronically ‘introduced’ to the vehicle’s airbag module (SDM). A qualified technician with a compatible scan tool can perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure in a few minutes to resolve this.
Will this fit other GM vehicles besides the Yukon XL?
Yes. This BCM is compatible with a very wide range of GM vehicles from the same era, including the Tahoe, Suburban, Escalade, Sierra, Silverado, Impala, and various vans. Please check the extensive part number list on this page to confirm compatibility with your vehicle.
