Restore Peak Performance to Your 2006 Saab 9-7X
Is your Saab 9-7X or other compatible GM vehicle suffering from frustrating and hard-to-diagnose issues? Symptoms like a persistent Check Engine Light, erratic engine behavior, poor fuel economy, or even a no-start condition can often be traced back to a failing Powertrain Control Module (PCM). As the central computer for your engine and transmission, the PCM’s health is critical for your vehicle’s performance, reliability, and efficiency. This replacement PCM, part number 19209820, is the definitive solution to get your vehicle running like new again.
We take the guesswork and hassle out of the replacement process. Unlike a generic module from a parts store or salvage yard, this unit is delivered to you fully programmed to your vehicle’s specific Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). We install the latest, most stable software updates directly from GM, ensuring optimal performance and addressing any factory-known issues. This means no expensive trips to the dealership for programming—it’s ready for installation right out of the box.
From the Diagnostic Bay
We recently had a 2006 GMC Envoy (which shares the same platform as the Saab 9-7X) towed to the shop. The owner was at his wit’s end. The vehicle would crank but not start, and he had already replaced the battery, starter, and fuel pump. Diagnostic codes were all over the place, pointing to communication errors (U-codes) between various modules. After verifying power and ground to the PCM, we connected a scope and saw a corrupted signal on the data bus. A quick swap with one of our pre-programmed modules, and the Envoy fired up on the first try. It was a classic case of internal PCM failure causing chaos across the vehicle’s network. This is precisely the problem our VIN-programmed modules are designed to solve.
Common Symptoms of a Failing PCM
- ✔ Persistent Check Engine Light (CEL) illumination
- ✔ Stalling, rough idling, or hesitation during acceleration
- ✔ Noticeable decrease in fuel efficiency
- ✔ Engine cranks but refuses to start
- ✔ Harsh or incorrect automatic transmission shifting
- ✔ Communication error codes (U-codes) stored in the system
- ✔ Failure to pass emissions testing
- ✔ Unexplained warning lights on the dashboard

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to have this module programmed by a dealer?
No. The main benefit of our service is that we handle all the programming for you before we ship the part. Just provide your VIN, and the module will arrive ready for installation, saving you hundreds in dealership fees.
Is this part truly “plug and play”?
For most vehicles, yes. After installation, you may need to perform a security relearn procedure, which syncs the new PCM with your vehicle’s anti-theft system. This is a simple process that typically involves turning the key to the ‘ON’ position for 10-15 minutes, then off, and repeating two more times. It does not require any special tools.
Where can I find my vehicle’s VIN?
Your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) can be found on the driver’s side of the dashboard (visible through the windshield), on the driver’s side door jamb sticker, or on your vehicle’s registration and insurance documents.
How do I know if my old PCM is actually the problem?
While the symptoms listed are strong indicators, it’s always best to have a proper diagnosis performed. Common diagnostic trouble codes for a failing PCM include P0600-P0606, as well as various U-codes indicating communication loss. A technician can also check for proper power, ground, and data signals at the PCM connector to confirm the failure.
This part fits many vehicles. How do you ensure it’s right for mine?
The part number 19209820 and its alternates are used across many GM models. The key is the software inside. By programming the module with the software that corresponds to your specific VIN, we turn this physically compatible part into the exact electronic match for your Saab 9-7X, Trailblazer, Envoy, or other compatible model.
