Is Your GM Truck or SUV Acting Up?
If you’re dealing with a frustrating no-start condition, a rough idle that shakes the whole vehicle, erratic shifting, or a check engine light that just won’t go away, the problem often points directly to a failing Powertrain Control Module (PCM). As a technician with over two decades of experience, I’ve seen these exact symptoms on hundreds of GM trucks. Just last week, a 2005 Silverado 2500 with the 6.0L was towed in; it would crank but never fire. After confirming fuel and spark were intermittent, we diagnosed a faulty PCM. The internal driver circuits that control the ignition coils had failedโa common issue on these modules after years of heat cycles.
The Brain of Your Engine, Restored and Ready
This isn’t just a replacement part; it’s a complete, ready-to-install solution for your vehicle. We are providing a high-quality replacement PCM, service number 12602802, that is professionally programmed to your vehicle’s specific Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). This critical step ensures all the unique parameters for your engine, transmission, and emissions equipment are perfectly matched. We load the latest, most stable software updates from General Motors, which can often resolve underlying drivability issues that the original factory software had.
Expert Pro Tip: Check Your Connectors!
Before installing your new PCM, take a moment to inspect the wiring harness connectors. These modules are often located under the battery tray, where battery acid can leak and cause corrosion on the pins and terminals. I’ve seen simple connection issues mimic a complete PCM failure. Use a small brush and some quality electronics cleaner to ensure the connections are pristine. A clean connection is essential for the new module to function correctly and will prevent future headaches.

Simple, DIY-Friendly Installation Guide
You don’t need to be a master mechanic to replace your PCM. Follow these simple steps to get your truck back in top shape.
- Safety First: Always disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery and wait at least 10 minutes for the system capacitors to discharge.
- Locate the PCM: On most compatible models (like the Silverado, Sierra, Tahoe, and Escalade), the PCM is located in the engine bay on the driver’s side, often under or next to the battery in a black plastic bracket.
- Disconnect the Harnesses: Carefully lift the locking tabs and unplug the wiring harness connectors from the old module. Inspect them for any damage or corrosion as mentioned in our pro tip.
- Remove the Old Module: Unbolt the PCM from its mounting bracket. It’s typically held in by a few small bolts.
- Install the New PCM: Mount your new, pre-programmed module in the bracket and securely reconnect the wiring harnesses. Ensure the locking tabs click into place.
- Reconnect the Battery: Re-attach the negative battery terminal. Your vehicle is now ready to start. In some cases, a security relearn procedure may be necessary, which typically involves cycling the key.
