Is Your GM Truck or SUV Experiencing Engine Problems?
If your Silverado, Sierra, Tahoe, or other compatible GM vehicle is suffering from erratic behavior, poor fuel economy, or a persistent Check Engine Light, a failing Powertrain Control Module (PCM) could be the culprit. The PCM is the brain of your vehicle, managing everything from fuel injection and ignition timing to transmission shifting. When it fails, it can cause a cascade of frustrating and potentially damaging issues. This replacement PCM, part number 12602802, is the definitive solution to restore your vehicle’s performance and reliability.
We take the guesswork out of the repair. Unlike sourcing a used module from a junkyard that may have its own issues or require expensive dealership programming, this unit arrives at your door ready for installation. We use your vehicle’s Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) to flash the module with the latest, most stable software updates directly from GM. This ensures perfect compatibility and optimal operation, just like it came from the factory.
Expert Pro Tip
Expert Pro Tip
Before replacing your PCM, always perform a thorough check of your vehicle’s battery, alternator, and all primary ground connections (engine block to chassis, battery to chassis). A weak battery or a corroded ground wire can cause low voltage issues that mimic PCM failure, leading to an expensive misdiagnosis. A simple voltage drop test on the ground circuit can save you hundreds of dollars.
Common Symptoms of a Failing PCM
- ✔ Persistent Check Engine Light (CEL) with various trouble codes.
- ✔ Engine stalling, stumbling, or misfiring unexpectedly.
- ✔ Harsh or erratic automatic transmission shifting.
- ✔ A complete no-start condition where the engine cranks but won’t fire up.
- ✔ Noticeable decrease in fuel efficiency.
- ✔ Failure to communicate with diagnostic scan tools.
- ✔ Intermittent issues that are difficult to reproduce.

Installation is typically straightforward. The module is located in the engine bay, often on the driver’s side near the battery or airbox. After disconnecting the battery, you can unbolt the old module, carefully disconnect the wiring harnesses, and install the new one in its place. Once installed and the battery is reconnected, you may need to perform a simple security relearn procedure (often called a CASE relearn or Passlock relearn), which can usually be done without special tools. Instructions for this procedure are widely available online for your specific model.
