Is Your 2015 Yukon Experiencing Bizarre Electrical Problems?
If your GMC Yukon is acting possessed—with flickering lights, a malfunctioning radio, erratic power windows, or dashboard warning lights that come and go—the culprit is likely a failing Body Control Module (BCM). The BCM is the central nervous system for your vehicle’s body electronics, managing everything from interior lighting and security to power locks and climate control. When it fails, it can cause a cascade of frustrating and unpredictable issues that can make your vehicle feel unreliable.
From the Diagnostic Bay
We recently had a 2015 GMC Yukon in the shop that was driving its owner crazy. The power door locks would cycle randomly while driving, the dome lights would stay on, and the instrument cluster would intermittently go dark. The owner had already replaced the battery and checked all the fuses with no success. After connecting our diagnostic scanner, we traced the communication errors back to a faulty BCM. Instead of a costly trip to the dealer for a new module and programming, we provided a replacement unit with the original module’s data cloned over. The installation was a simple swap, and instantly, all the electrical gremlins were gone. The customer was thrilled to have their reliable truck back without the dealership price tag.
Common Symptoms of a Failing BCM
- ✔ Intermittent or non-working power windows, locks, and mirrors.
- ✔ Flickering or inoperative interior and exterior lights.
- ✔ Malfunctioning radio, infotainment screen, or climate controls.
- ✔ False warning lights on the instrument cluster (e.g., security, airbag).
- ✔ The vehicle’s security system preventing it from starting.
- ✔ Rapid battery drain while the vehicle is off.
- ✔ Unresponsive key fob or push-to-start system.
The Plug-and-Play Solution: Our BCM Programming Service
A new BCM from the dealership requires expensive programming to sync it with your vehicle’s unique VIN and security information. Our service eliminates that hassle and cost. We offer a straightforward solution: you send us your original BCM, and we transfer all its critical data—including VIN, mileage, and key programming—to this replacement module. The result is a fully functional 2015 Yukon Body Control Module that is 100% plug-and-play. No additional programming or dealer visits are required.
How The Process Works:
- ✔ Place Your Order: Purchase this BCM programming service.
- ✔ We Contact You: We will reach out with clear instructions and a shipping address for you to send your original BCM to us. Please ensure your contact information is up to date.
- ✔ Ship Your Module: Carefully package and ship your original BCM to our facility.
Installation and Post-Installation Notes
Installation is typically straightforward, as the BCM is located under the steering column. However, after installation, some vehicles may require minor recalibration procedures for specific systems to sync correctly with the new BCM.
- Airbag System Sync: If the airbag warning light is illuminated after installation, a professional scan tool is needed to perform the ‘Setup SDM Primary Key in BCM’ procedure. This syncs the airbag system with the BCM and is only necessary if the light is on.
- Brake Pedal Position Relearn: On some models, a brake pedal position sensor recalibration might be needed to ensure proper operation of the brake lights and traction control system.
Disclaimer: Specific procedures can vary by vehicle. Always consult a factory service manual or a qualified technician for guidance.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does “cloning” or “programming” mean?
It means we transfer the vital information (like your vehicle’s VIN, security codes, and mileage) from your original BCM to the replacement unit. This makes the new module an exact digital copy of the old one, allowing it to work in your vehicle without any further programming.
Is this a plug-and-play solution?
Yes! Because we clone your original data, the replacement BCM we send you is ready for installation right out of the box. No trip to the dealership is necessary for programming.
How long does the service take?
Once we receive your original BCM, our technicians typically complete the programming service and ship your replacement module back within 1-2 business days.
Do I need to send my keys?
No, you do not need to send your keys. All the necessary key information is stored within your original BCM and will be transferred during the cloning process.
What if my original BCM is completely dead or not communicating?
In most cases, even if the BCM has failed, we can still extract the necessary data. If you have concerns about the condition of your module, please contact us before ordering to discuss the situation.
