Restore Peak Performance to Your GM Vehicle
Is your GMC Yukon, Sierra, Silverado, or another GM vehicle from the 1999-2002 era suffering from perplexing issues? Unexplained stalling, erratic shifting, a persistent check engine light, or a complete no-start condition can often be traced back to a single, critical component: the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). As the central computer, the PCM governs everything from fuel injection and ignition timing to transmission shift points and emissions control. When it fails, the entire vehicle’s performance and reliability are compromised.
This replacement Powertrain Control Module, corresponding to part numbers 19109040, 09354896, and 9354896, is the definitive solution to get your vehicle back on the road and running as it should. We take the guesswork out of the repair by pre-programming the module specifically for your vehicle using your VIN. This ensures that all factory settings, security information, and the latest GM software updates are loaded and ready to go, making installation as straightforward as possible.
Expert Pro Tip
Expert Pro Tip
Before condemning your PCM, always perform a thorough check of the basics. A weak battery, corroded battery terminals, or a faulty ground strap (especially the main engine-to-chassis ground) can cause voltage drops and communication errors that mimic the symptoms of a failed PCM. A simple voltage drop test on the main power and ground circuits at the PCM connector can save you from a misdiagnosis.
Is Your Vehicle Showing Signs of a Bad PCM?
A failing engine computer can manifest in numerous ways, often intermittently at first. If you’re experiencing any of the following, a faulty PCM could be the culprit:
- ✔ Check Engine Light: The light is on with communication error codes (like P0601, P0605, P0606) or multiple unrelated sensor codes.
- ✔ Engine Performance Issues: You may notice rough idling, engine stalling, hesitation during acceleration, or a significant drop in fuel economy.
- ✔ Transmission Problems: Harsh or delayed shifting, or the transmission getting stuck in one gear (limp mode), can be caused by the PCM.
- ✔ No-Start Condition: The engine cranks but won’t start, and you’ve confirmed you have spark and fuel pressure. The PCM may not be commanding the injectors or coils to fire.
- ✔ Failed Emissions Test: Inability of the onboard diagnostic system to complete its readiness monitors is a common sign of a failing computer.
- ✔ Intermittent Electrical Gremlins: Gauges acting erratically or other strange electronic behavior can sometimes point back to the central computer.
The Importance of a VIN-Programmed 2000 Yukon Powertrain Control Module
Simply installing a used or non-programmed module from another vehicle will not work. Modern GM vehicles use sophisticated anti-theft systems (like Passlock/VATS) that are tied to the vehicle’s unique VIN. Our process eliminates this barrier. When you provide your VIN during checkout, our technicians use official GM tools to flash this module with the exact software and calibrations your vehicle was built with. This crucial step ensures:
- Seamless Integration: The module communicates perfectly with the other computers in your vehicle, like the Body Control Module (BCM) and ABS module.
- Correct Operation: Your engine and transmission will operate according to the precise specifications intended by the manufacturer, restoring lost power and efficiency.
- Anti-Theft Compatibility: The module is prepared to sync with your vehicle’s security system, often requiring only a simple key-cycle relearn procedure after installation.
- Latest Software: We install the most recent GM-approved software updates, which can resolve common driveability issues and improve overall performance.
