Restore Full Electrical Function to Your GM Vehicle
Are you battling frustrating electrical gremlins in your 2010 GMC Yukon XL 1500? Flickering lights, malfunctioning power windows or locks, a security system that acts up, or warning lights that won’t go away are all classic signs of a failing Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM is the central command center for your vehicle’s body electronics, and when it starts to fail, it can cause a cascade of confusing and unpredictable problems. Don’t let a faulty module keep you off the road. This direct-fit Body Control Module is your complete, hassle-free solution.
Unlike a generic part from a local store, this module arrives at your door fully programmed to your vehicle’s specific Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). We flash it with the latest, most stable software updates directly from GM. This critical step ensures seamless communication with your vehicle’s other electronic systems, eliminating the need for an expensive trip to the dealership for programming. You get a part that’s ready for installation right out of the box, saving you time, money, and diagnostic headaches.
From the Diagnostic Bay
We had a 2010 Yukon XL come into the shop with a complaint that was driving the owner crazy: the interior dome lights would randomly turn on while driving, and sometimes the battery would be dead in the morning. They had already replaced the battery twice. After checking for parasitic draws, we traced the issue to an internal short in the BCM that was waking up the network and draining the battery overnight. Instead of a costly and time-consuming dealer visit, we installed one of our VIN-programmed BCMs. The installation was straightforward, and the problem was solved instantly. It’s a perfect example of how the right part, correctly prepared, makes a complex electrical repair simple.
Symptoms of a Failing 2010 Yukon XL BCM
- ✔ Erratic or non-functional interior and exterior lights (headlights, taillights, dome lights).
- ✔ Power windows, door locks, or mirrors operating intermittently or not at all.
- ✔ Malfunctioning security system or keyless entry.
- ✔ Instrument cluster gauges behaving strangely or displaying incorrect information.
- ✔ Unexplained battery drain that leads to a no-start condition.
- ✔ Communication error codes (U-codes) stored in the vehicle’s diagnostic system.
- ✔ Climate control system not responding to commands.

We handle the complex programming process, ensuring the 2010 Yukon XL BCM you receive is a perfect match for your vehicle’s factory options and security protocols. This module is a direct replacement for a wide range of original equipment part numbers, including 25934762, 20815898, 25892622, and many others listed in the fitment guide.
Installation and Post-Install Steps
Physical installation is typically straightforward, involving disconnecting the battery and swapping the old module for the new one. In most cases, the vehicle will start and run correctly immediately. However, depending on your specific model and options, a couple of simple relearn procedures may be necessary. These are not signs of a defective part but are standard security and calibration handshakes between modules.
- Airbag System Sync: If your airbag warning light is illuminated after installation, a ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure is needed. This syncs the new BCM with the airbag system and requires a professional-grade scan tool.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: Some models may require a brake pedal position sensor recalibration to ensure proper operation of the brake lights and stability control systems.
We always recommend consulting a factory service manual or a qualified technician if you are unsure about any part of the installation process.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the BCM do on my 2010 Yukon XL?
The Body Control Module (BCM) acts as the brain for your vehicle’s comfort and convenience features. It controls functions like power windows, locks, interior/exterior lighting, security system, wipers, and communicates with other modules to ensure everything works in harmony.
Is this 2010 Yukon XL BCM truly plug-and-play?
Because we program it to your vehicle’s VIN before shipping, it is as close to plug-and-play as possible. It will have the correct software for your specific options. In some cases, minor relearn procedures, like for the airbag or brake pedal sensor, may be required after installation using a scan tool.
How do I provide my VIN for programming?
After you complete your purchase, you will receive instructions on how to send us your 17-digit VIN. We cannot program and ship your module until we receive this information. Please ensure it is accurate to avoid delays.
What happens if the airbag light comes on after installation?
This is a normal security measure. The new BCM needs to be electronically introduced to the airbag’s Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM). A technician with a capable scan tool will need to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure to resolve this.
Do I need to send my old BCM back?
No. This product has no core charge. You can keep your original module without any extra fees or hassle.
Will this module fit other GM vehicles?
Yes, this BCM is compatible with a wide array of GM trucks, vans, and SUVs from roughly 2006 to 2013, including the Tahoe, Suburban, Escalade, Silverado, Sierra, Express, Savana, and more. Please verify your original part number against the comprehensive list provided on this page to ensure an exact match.
