Is Your GM Truck or SUV Experiencing Frustrating Issues?
If your Silverado, Sierra, Tahoe, or other GM vehicle is suffering from a check engine light that won’t go away, erratic engine performance, harsh shifting, or even a no-start condition, the culprit is often a failing Powertrain Control Module (PCM). As the central computer of your vehicle, the PCM is responsible for managing everything from fuel injection and ignition timing to transmission shift points and emissions controls. When it begins to fail, it can cause a cascade of confusing and difficult-to-diagnose problems that can leave you stranded.
