Get Your Dependable GM Truck Back in Top Shape
Is your trusty GM truck or SUV suddenly running rough, refusing to start, or flashing a persistent check engine light? A failing Powertrain Control Module (PCM) is often the culprit, leaving you stranded and frustrated. This isn’t just an inconvenience; it’s a disruption to your work and daily life. We have the direct-fit, reliable solution to get your vehicle running strong again and restore your peace of mind.
Common Symptoms & Your Solution
A faulty engine computer can cause a wide range of baffling issues. If you’re experiencing symptoms like a rough idle, random stalling, poor fuel economy, harsh transmission shifting, or a complete no-start condition, the PCM is a likely cause. Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) like P0601 (Internal Control Module Memory Check Sum Error) or P0605 (Internal Control Module Read Only Memory (ROM) Error) are clear indicators of internal failure. Our programmed 16250279 PCM is the most effective and straightforward solution to permanently resolve these problems and pass your emissions test.

Expert Insight from a 20-Year Tech: As a veteran technician, I’ve seen countless issues arise from using generic, unprogrammed modules in these late-90s GM trucks. They often cause persistent transmission shifting problems or security system lockouts (Passlock issues). That’s why we insist on programming every single module to your exact VIN. It ensures all the vehicle’s systems communicate correctly from the moment you turn the key, just like the original did. It’s the difference between a frustrating weekend and a successful, lasting repair.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to have this computer programmed?
No. The main benefit of our service is that we program the module for you before it ships. It arrives ready to be installed, flashed with the latest GM updates using the VIN you provide.
How do I provide my vehicle’s VIN?
After you complete your purchase, you will need to send us your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). You can typically reply to your order confirmation email or add it as a note during checkout.
Is this a true plug-and-play installation?
Yes, for most vehicles. Once programmed, you simply disconnect the battery, swap the module, and reconnect the battery. In some cases, a simple security relearn procedure may be required, which does not require any special tools and can be done in your driveway.
Will this fix my specific check engine light code?
If your vehicle has stored codes pointing to an internal module failure (such as P0601, P0602, P0605), this programmed 16250279 PCM is the correct solution. However, it’s always best to properly diagnose your vehicle’s codes first to ensure the PCM is the root cause and not a separate sensor or wiring issue.
What part numbers does this module replace?
This module is the correct service replacement for several original part numbers, including 16250279, 09366810, and 09355699. Please check the fitment list to confirm it matches your vehicle.
