Restore Your Vehicle’s Heartbeat and Drivability
Is your truck or car running rough, stalling unexpectedly, or showing a persistent Check Engine Light? These frustrating symptoms often point to a failing Powertrain Control Module (PCM), the central computer governing your engine’s performance and efficiency. This isn’t just an inconvenience; it’s a matter of reliability and safety. Our replacement PCM, part number 9354896, is the definitive, hassle-free solution to bring your vehicle back to its peak operational state. We take the guesswork out of the repair by pre-programming the module to your specific Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) with the latest official GM software updates. This ensures a seamless installation and immediate performance restoration, letting you get back on the road with confidence.
Warning Signs Your PCM is Ailing & The Benefits of This Solution
A failing computer can manifest in numerous ways, often mimicking other component failures. If you’re experiencing any of the following, a faulty PCM could be the culprit. Replacing it with our VIN-programmed unit provides a direct and lasting fix.
- ✔ Persistent Check Engine Light: Especially with communication error codes like P0600, P0601, P0602, or P0606.
- ✔ Erratic Engine Behavior: Unexplained stalling, rough idling, hesitation during acceleration, or sudden power loss.
- ✔ Poor Fuel Economy: A struggling PCM can’t efficiently manage fuel delivery, leading to more trips to the pump.
- ✔ Harsh or Failed Shifting: The PCM also controls transmission functions, and failure can cause jerky shifts or an inability to shift gears.
- ✔ Complete No-Start Condition: In severe cases, the module fails entirely, preventing the engine from starting.
- ✔ Peace of Mind: Our units are flashed with stable, updated GM software, correcting factory bugs and ensuring optimal performance.
An Expert’s Pre-Flight Check
Before condemning your PCM, take 15 minutes to check the fundamentals. A weak battery, corroded terminals, or a loose main engine ground can cause voltage drops that mimic computer failure. Ensure your battery is fully charged and all connections are clean and tight. This simple step can sometimes save you a lot of diagnostic headaches!
Guided Installation to Restore Peak Performance
Replacing your PCM is a straightforward job you can tackle with basic hand tools. Our pre-programming makes it a true plug-and-play process. Follow these steps for a confident repair.
- Safety First: Always disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery and secure it away from the post to prevent any accidental reconnection.
- Locate the Old Module: On most compatible trucks (like the Silverado, Sierra, Suburban, and Tahoe), you’ll find the PCM located in the engine bay on the driver’s side, often under or near the battery tray.
- Disconnect and Remove: Carefully unplug the electrical harness connectors. They have locking tabs that need to be released. Once disconnected, unbolt the old module from its mounting bracket and remove it from the vehicle.
- Install the New PCM: Mount your new, pre-programmed module securely onto the bracket. Reconnect the electrical harnesses, ensuring they click firmly into place. A solid connection is critical.
- Power Up: Reconnect the negative battery terminal and tighten it securely. The vehicle is now ready to start. In most cases, no further procedures are needed.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to do any programming myself?
Absolutely not. The main benefit of our service is that we handle all the programming for you. Simply provide your VIN during or after checkout, and the module will arrive at your door flashed with the latest GM software and coded specifically to your vehicle.
What is a VIN and why is it so important?
The VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) is your car’s unique 17-digit serial number. It contains critical information about the engine, transmission, and other options. Providing it allows us to load the exact software your vehicle needs to run correctly, ensuring 100% compatibility.
Will I need to perform a security or CASE relearn procedure?
For most vehicles on this list, no special procedures are required after installation. In the rare event your vehicle’s security system needs to be relearned, it’s a simple key-on/key-off procedure that takes a few minutes and requires no special tools. We can provide instructions if needed.
Where is the VIN located on my vehicle?
You can easily find your VIN in several places: 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 provide my VIN after purchase?
After you complete your purchase, you will receive an email with instructions on how to reply with your vehicle’s VIN. You can also send us a message through the sales platform with your order number and VIN. We will not ship the part until we have this information to ensure a perfect match.
