Restore Peak Performance to Your GM Truck or SUV
Is your Hummer H2, Silverado, Sierra, or other GM vehicle suffering from perplexing issues like a persistent check engine light, poor fuel economy, erratic shifting, or intermittent stalling? These are classic signs of a failing Powertrain Control Module (PCM), the central computer that manages your engine and transmission. Don’t let a faulty module keep you off the road. This replacement PCM, part number 12582605, is the definitive solution to restore your vehicle’s reliability and performance.
This isn’t just a replacement part; it’s a complete, ready-to-install solution. We take the guesswork out of the repair by pre-programming the module specifically for your vehicle using your VIN. This ensures that all factory settings, engine parameters, and transmission shift points are perfectly calibrated, just as the manufacturer intended. By flashing the unit with the latest official GM software updates, we also resolve many common drivability issues that may have been present even before your original module failed.
From the Diagnostic Bay
We had a 2005 Silverado 2500 with the 6.0L come in that was driving the owner crazy. The truck would randomly stumble and die at stoplights, but threw no consistent trouble codes. The owner had already replaced the throttle body, MAF sensor, and crank position sensor with no luck. After hooking up our diagnostic scanner and monitoring live data, we noticed the PCM was commanding erratic fuel trims and ignition timing right before a stall. It was a classic case of internal PCM failure causing phantom symptoms. We installed a VIN-programmed module just like this one, performed a quick security relearn, and the truck ran perfectly. It saved the owner from throwing more money at parts he didn’t need.
Diagnosing a Faulty 2003-2007 Hummer H2 PCM
The PCM is the brain of your vehicle’s operation. When it begins to fail, it can create a wide array of confusing symptoms that can often be misdiagnosed as sensor or mechanical failures. If you’re experiencing several of the issues below, your PCM is the likely culprit. This module is a direct replacement for a wide range of popular GM vehicles from this era, including the powerful 2003-2007 Hummer H2 PCM and many others.
Common Symptoms of a Failing PCM
- ✔ Check Engine Light is on with various communication or sensor-related codes (e.g., U-codes, P0601-P0606).
- ✔ Engine stalling, stumbling, or hesitating for no apparent reason.
- ✔ Harsh or erratic automatic transmission shifting.
- ✔ A noticeable drop in fuel economy.
- ✔ The engine cranks but refuses to start.
- ✔ Communication issues with diagnostic scan tools.
- ✔ Misfire codes that persist even after replacing spark plugs, coils, and wires.
Plug-and-Play Solution with VIN Programming
The biggest challenge when replacing a modern vehicle computer is the complex programming required. We eliminate this hurdle. When you purchase this module, you simply provide us with your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN. Our technicians will then access the latest GM calibration files and program the module to be a perfect match for your truck’s specific configuration, including engine size, transmission type, and emissions equipment. This makes the installation process as straightforward as possible. In most cases, you will only need to perform a simple security relearn procedure (often called a key relearn), which can typically be done in your driveway without any special tools.
This module is a direct replacement for multiple service numbers, including 89017750, 12582605, 12589463, 12602802, 89017734, and 28042802, ensuring broad compatibility across the GM truck and SUV lineup.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a PCM and what does it do?
The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) is your vehicle’s main computer. It controls all aspects of engine and transmission function, including fuel injection, ignition timing, emissions systems, and automatic transmission shift points to ensure optimal performance and efficiency.
Is this PCM ready to install out of the box?
Yes! This PCM is shipped to you pre-programmed with the latest GM software based on your vehicle’s VIN. While it’s ready for installation, you may need to perform a simple security relearn procedure so your vehicle recognizes the new module. This procedure is straightforward and instructions can be easily found online.
How do I provide my VIN for programming?
After you complete your purchase, you will receive instructions on how to send us your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). We cannot ship your part until we receive the VIN, as the programming is essential for the part to function correctly in your vehicle.
Where is the PCM located on my vehicle?
On most compatible GM trucks and SUVs from this era (like the Hummer H2, Silverado, Tahoe), the PCM is located in the engine bay on the driver’s side, under the battery tray or next to the airbox. Always disconnect the battery before attempting removal or installation.
Will this fix my specific issue?
This module is designed to correct issues directly caused by a failing PCM, such as the symptoms listed above. While it is a very common point of failure, we always recommend proper vehicle diagnostics to confirm the PCM is the root cause of your problem before ordering.
