Frequently Asked Questions
Is this module truly ‘plug and play’?
Yes, this module is pre-programmed to your vehicle’s VIN. In most cases, you will only need to perform a simple security relearn procedure (often called CASE or Passlock relearn), which can be done without any special tools and typically takes 15-30 minutes. Instructions are readily available online for this process.
How do I provide my VIN number?
After you place your order, please send us your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). You can typically find it on your vehicle’s registration, insurance card, or on the driver’s side dashboard visible through the windshield. Promptly providing the VIN ensures we can program and ship your part without delay.
Will this fix my specific check engine light?
This programmed 2006 Trailblazer EXT PCM is the direct solution for internal module failures, communication errors, and processor faults (e.g., code P0601). While it resolves the most common causes, we always recommend ensuring your vehicle has been properly diagnosed to rule out issues with wiring, sensors, or other components.
What’s the difference between a PCM, ECM, and ECU?
The terms are often used interchangeably. ECU (Electronic Control Unit) is a general term. ECM (Engine Control Module) specifically controls engine functions. A PCM (Powertrain Control Module), like this one, is more comprehensive and controls both the engine and the transmission functions together.
Does this unit come with a warranty?
Yes, this unit is backed by our one-year replacement warranty, giving you confidence in your purchase.
