Is Your 2005 Blazer or Jimmy Running Rough?
If you’re dealing with a persistent check engine light, erratic engine behavior, stalling, or a no-start condition, a failing Powertrain Control Module (PCM) is often the culprit. As a mechanic with over two decades of diagnostic experience, I’ve seen how a faulty PCM can cripple an otherwise solid truck. This isn’t just a part; it’s the central computer for your engine, and when it fails, it can cause a cascade of frustrating and hard-to-diagnose problems.
“A customer’s 2005 S10 Blazer came in last week with a persistent P0601 (Internal Control Module Memory Check Sum Error) code that wouldn’t clear. The truck would randomly stumble and had poor throttle response. After confirming the power and ground circuits to the PCM were solid, we knew the module itself had failed internally. This programmed module was the exact, direct-fit solution that got him back on the road the same day without a trip to the dealership.”

Expert Pro Tip:
Before installing your new PCM, take a moment to clean the harness connector pins and terminals with a dedicated electronics cleaner. Over the years, dirt and moisture can create a thin film causing poor connections, which can mimic PCM failure. Ensuring a clean, tight connection is a simple step that guarantees the best performance from your new part.
