Is Your HUMMER H2 Running Rough? The PCM is Likely the Culprit.
As a technician with over two decades of experience under the hood, I’ve seen it all when it comes to GM trucks and SUVs. If your 2003-2007 HUMMER H2 is experiencing baffling issues like a persistent check engine light, erratic shifting, a rough idle, or even a no-start condition, the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) is one of the most common failure points. This isn’t just a component; it’s the operational brain of your vehicle, and when it falters, the symptoms can be frustrating and widespread.
This isn’t just a replacement part; it’s a complete, ready-to-install solution. We take a genuine GM-spec PCM, service number 89017750, and professionally program it with the latest official GM software updates specifically for your vehicle. All we need is your VIN. This process ensures that you’re not just replacing a faulty part, but also benefiting from any drivability and efficiency improvements GM has released since your H2 left the factory.

From the Shop Floor: A Real-World Diagnostic Story
“A customer’s 2005 HUMMER H2 came into my shop last month with a ‘Reduced Engine Power’ message and a throttle-related trouble code. They had already replaced the expensive throttle body assembly themselves, but the problem persisted. After a quick diagnostic check, I found the 5-volt reference signal from the PCM to the throttle position sensor was erratic. The issue wasn’t the new part; it was the PCM’s internal driver circuit that had failed. We installed one of our pre-programmed PCMs, performed the throttle relearn procedure, and the H2 ran perfectly. This is a classic case where diagnosing the root cause saves a lot of time and money.”
Plug-and-Play Installation: Get Your H2 Running in Under an Hour
Installing your new 2003-2007 HUMMER H2 PCM is straightforward for any DIYer with basic tools. While locations can vary slightly, it’s typically found in the engine bay on the driver’s side, under the battery tray.
- Safety First: Disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery and secure it away from the post.
- Locate the PCM: On most H2 models, you will need to remove the battery to access the PCM mounted below it.
- Disconnect the Connectors: Carefully unlatch and remove the electrical harness connectors from the old PCM. Inspect the terminals for any corrosion or damage. Clean them with a dedicated electronics cleaner if necessary.
- Swap the Module: Unbolt the old PCM from its bracket and set it aside. Mount your new, pre-programmed PCM in its place.
- Reconnect Everything: Firmly re-seat the electrical connectors onto the new PCM until they click into place. Reinstall the battery and connect the negative terminal.
- Final Step – Security Relearn: Your vehicle may require a simple security relearn procedure, which can be done without any special tools. It typically involves turning the key to the ‘ON’ position for 10-15 minutes. We include simple instructions for this process with your order.
