Restore Peak Performance to Your GM Truck or SUV
Is your Cadillac Escalade, Chevy Silverado, or GMC Sierra suffering from erratic behavior, poor fuel economy, or a persistent check engine light? The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) is the central computer of your vehicle, managing everything from fuel injection and ignition timing to transmission shifting. When it fails, it can lead to a host of frustrating and potentially damaging issues. This replacement PCM, part number 12602802, is the definitive solution to restore your vehicle’s factory performance and reliability.
The Plug-and-Play Solution for a Complex Problem
Replacing a PCM isn’t just about swapping hardware. The module must be correctly programmed with your vehicle’s specific Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and equipped with the latest software updates from General Motors. We handle this critical step for you. Before shipping, we flash the module with the newest GM calibration for your exact vehicle. This ensures seamless integration, optimal performance, and eliminates the need for an expensive trip to the dealership for programming. Simply provide your VIN at checkout, and we’ll deliver a module that’s ready for installation.
From the Diagnostic Bay
We had a 2005 Chevy Avalanche come in that was driving the owner crazy. It would randomly stall at stoplights, shift harshly between first and second gear, and had a check engine light with a P0601 code (Internal Control Module Memory Check Sum Error). The owner had already replaced the throttle position sensor and cleaned the MAF sensor with no luck. We quickly identified the failing PCM. Instead of a costly dealer visit, we installed one of our pre-programmed modules. After a quick security relearn procedure, the truck ran like new. The harsh shifts vanished, the stalling stopped, and the check engine light stayed off. This is a classic case where targeting the vehicle’s brain is the only true fix.
Is Your Vehicle Exhibiting These Symptoms?
A failing PCM can manifest in various ways. If you’re experiencing any of the following, a faulty module could be the culprit:
- ✔ Persistent Check Engine Light (CEL)
- ✔ Engine stalling or randomly shutting off
- ✔ Harsh or erratic automatic transmission shifting
- ✔ Noticeable decrease in fuel economy
- ✔ Engine misfires or rough idling
- ✔ Vehicle won’t start, but the battery and starter are good
- ✔ Communication error codes (U-codes) stored in the system

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do you need my VIN?
Your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) is essential for us to load the correct GM-certified software and calibrations for your specific engine, transmission, and emissions equipment. This ensures perfect compatibility and performance.
Is this part difficult to install?
Installation is generally straightforward. It involves disconnecting the vehicle’s battery, unplugging the electrical connectors from the old PCM, unbolting it, and then installing the new one in reverse order. Basic hand tools are all that’s typically required.
Will I need to do anything after installation?
While the module is programmed for engine and transmission functions, you may need to perform a security relearn procedure (often called a CASE relearn or Passlock relearn) to sync the new PCM with your vehicle’s anti-theft system. This procedure can usually be done without special tools and instructions are widely available online.
Will this fix my check engine light?
If the check engine light is caused by a faulty PCM (common codes include P0601, P0606, and various communication errors), this replacement module will resolve the issue. It’s always best to have your vehicle properly diagnosed to confirm the PCM is the root cause.
