Restore Peak Performance to Your GM Truck or SUV

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to have this PCM programmed by a dealer?
No. The main benefit of our service is that we program the module to your vehicle’s specific VIN before we ship it. It arrives ready for installation, saving you the time and expense of a dealership visit.
What information do you need from me?
After you place your order, you will need to provide us with your vehicle’s 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). This allows us to load the correct GM software and calibrations for your exact model, engine, and options.
Is this a simple plug-and-play installation?
For the most part, yes. You disconnect the battery, swap the module, and reconnect the battery. However, on most GM vehicles, a security relearn procedure (also known as a CASE learn or anti-theft relearn) is required to sync the new PCM with your vehicle’s anti-theft system. This can often be done without special tools and instructions are widely available online.
How can I be sure my PCM is the actual problem?
While the symptoms listed are strong indicators of a failing PCM, it’s always best to have a proper diagnosis performed by a qualified technician. This can rule out other potential issues like faulty wiring, sensors, or fuel delivery problems.
Will this GM PCM 12589463 fix my check engine light?
If the check engine light and associated diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) are being caused by an internal failure of the PCM, then yes, this replacement module will resolve the issue.
