Is Your 2002 Trailblazer, Envoy, or Bravada Running Rough?
If you’re dealing with frustrating issues like a persistent check engine light, erratic idling, stalling, or a no-start condition, the root cause is often a failing Powertrain Control Module (PCM). As a technician with over two decades of experience, I’ve seen firsthand how a faulty computer can turn a reliable SUV into a source of constant headaches. Your vehicle’s PCM is its brain, and when it starts to fail, it can send incorrect signals to the engine and transmission, leading to a host of performance problems.
Restore Your Vehicle’s Performance with a Reliable, Programmed PCM
This isn’t just a replacement part; it’s a complete solution. We take a genuine GM-spec Electronic Control Module and flash it with the latest, most stable software updates directly from GM. By providing us with your vehicle’s 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) during checkout, you ensure that the module you receive is a perfect match for your specific vehicle configuration. This critical step eliminates the guesswork and the need for an expensive trip to the dealership for programming.
Expert Pro Tip from a 20-Year Veteran Mechanic
“Before installing your new PCM, take a moment to inspect the harness connectors closely. On these GMT360 platform trucks (Trailblazer, Envoy, etc.), the PCM is mounted on the engine, exposing it to heat and moisture. I’ve diagnosed dozens of these where the actual problem was green corrosion or a bent pin inside the connector, not the module itself. A quick spray with electronics cleaner and a gentle pass with a soft brush can prevent a good part from being misdiagnosed as bad.”

Simple, Straightforward Installation Guide
Installing your new PCM is a job most DIYers can handle in under an hour. Follow these steps for a smooth installation:
- Safety First: Always disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery and wait 10-15 minutes for the system capacitors to discharge.
- Locate the PCM: On your 2002 Trailblazer or Envoy, the PCM is located on the driver’s side of the engine block, below the intake manifold.
- Disconnect the Harness: Carefully release the locking levers on the electrical connectors and pull them straight out from the module. Avoid wiggling them side-to-side.
- Remove the Old Module: Unbolt the mounting bracket holding the old PCM in place and remove it from the vehicle.
- Install the New PCM: Mount your new, programmed PCM in the same location, ensuring it is secure.
- Reconnect Everything: Plug the electrical connectors firmly into the new module until they click and the locking levers are fully engaged. Reconnect the negative battery terminal.
- Final Step: Your vehicle may require a security relearn procedure, which can typically be done by cycling the key. Turn the key to the ‘ON’ position for 10-15 minutes, then ‘OFF’ for 10 seconds. Repeat this cycle three times. Your vehicle should then start and run correctly.
