Restore Peak Performance to Your 2004 GMC Envoy XUV
Is your 2004 Envoy XUV suffering from erratic engine behavior, poor fuel economy, or a persistent Check Engine light? The Powertrain Control Module (PCM), the vehicle’s main computer, is often the culprit. This replacement PCM, part number 12586242, is the definitive solution to restore your vehicle’s factory performance and reliability. It serves as the central command for your engine and transmission, ensuring all systems operate in perfect harmony. When it fails, you’ll notice a significant decline in drivability. Our solution provides a direct-fit, correctly programmed module to get you back on the road quickly and confidently.
We take the guesswork out of the repair process. Upon purchase, simply provide us with your vehicle’s VIN. Our technicians will then flash the module with the latest, most stable GM-certified software specific to your 2004 Envoy XUV. This ensures that all factory parameters for fuel delivery, ignition timing, and transmission shifting are perfectly calibrated. This isn’t a generic, one-size-fits-all part; it’s a component meticulously prepared for your exact vehicle configuration, making the installation process as straightforward as possible.
From the Diagnostic Bay
We had a 2004 Trailblazer EXT (which uses the same platform as the Envoy XUV) come into the shop with a persistent P0300 Random Misfire code. The owner had already replaced all the spark plugs, wires, and even a coil pack with no success. After hours of diagnostics, we traced the issue back to a failing ignition driver circuit inside the original PCM. Intermittent heat failure was causing it to cut spark to different cylinders randomly. Installing a correctly programmed 2004 Envoy XUV PCM solved the problem instantly. It’s a reminder that sometimes the issue isn’t with the mechanical parts, but with the computer that controls them.
Is Your Envoy XUV PCM Failing?
A failing engine computer can manifest in various ways, often mimicking other component failures. If you’re experiencing any of the following, it’s a strong indicator that your PCM needs attention.
- ✔ Unexplained Check Engine Light (with codes related to sensors, emissions, or internal module failure).
- ✔ Rough or inconsistent engine idling.
- ✔ Stalling or hesitation during acceleration.
- ✔ Noticeable decrease in fuel mileage.
- ✔ Harsh or erratic automatic transmission shifting.
- ✔ Complete no-start condition where the engine cranks but won’t fire.
- ✔ Communication errors with diagnostic scan tools.
Guaranteed Compatibility and Simple Installation
This PCM is a direct replacement for service numbers 12586242, 19299226, 89017738, YFKD, YFKF, YFKH, YFKJ, YFKX, YFXL, YFXM, YFXN, YFXP, and YHTN. It fits a wide array of 2004 GM trucks and SUVs, including the GMC Envoy XL/XUV, Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT, Buick Rainier, Chevrolet SSR, Isuzu Ascender, and various Silverado, Sierra, Suburban, Yukon, Tahoe, and Escalade models. By programming the unit to your VIN, we ensure it communicates flawlessly with your vehicle’s existing modules right out of the box. While the unit is plug-and-play, some vehicles may require a simple security relearn procedure (also known as a CASE relearn), which can typically be performed without special tools. Instructions are readily available, and this step ensures your anti-theft system recognizes the new module.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the PCM do on my 2004 Envoy XUV?
The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) is the primary computer for your vehicle. It controls all aspects of engine and transmission function, including fuel injection, spark timing, emissions systems, and automatic gear changes, to ensure optimal performance, fuel efficiency, and low emissions.
Is this module difficult to install?
No, the installation is straightforward. Because we program the module to your VIN before shipping, it is designed to be plug-and-play. On the Envoy XUV, the PCM is located next to the airbox in the engine bay. You will need to disconnect the battery, unplug the electrical connectors from the old module, unbolt it, and then install the new one in its place. Some vehicles may require a security relearn procedure, which is a simple process you can do yourself.
Why do you need my VIN?
Your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) contains critical information about your vehicle’s specific options, engine type, transmission, and emissions equipment. We use the VIN to load the exact GM-approved software and calibrations onto the PCM, ensuring it works perfectly with your vehicle’s systems without any additional dealer programming.
Will this fix my Check Engine Light?
If the Check Engine Light is caused by an internal failure of the original PCM, then yes, this replacement part will resolve the issue. It’s crucial to properly diagnose the codes first to ensure the problem isn’t with a sensor or another component that the PCM is monitoring.
What is a ‘security relearn’ procedure?
A security relearn, or CASE relearn, syncs the new PCM with your vehicle’s anti-theft system. It’s a simple procedure that usually involves turning the key to the ‘ON’ position for about 10-15 minutes, then off, and repeating the cycle two more times. This allows the vehicle’s Body Control Module (BCM) to recognize and authorize the new PCM, allowing the engine to start.
