Restore Peak Performance to Your GM Vehicle
Is your Chevrolet Express, GMC Savana, or Silverado suffering from perplexing issues like a persistent check engine light, poor fuel economy, erratic shifting, or a no-start condition?

If you’re tackling drivability problems, a failing 2005-2007 Express 1500 PCM is often the root cause.
From the Diagnostic Bay
I once had a 2006 Silverado 2500 with the 8.1L V8 come in that was driving the owner crazy. It would randomly stall at idle and had a harsh 1-2 shift. The owner had already replaced the throttle body, MAF sensor, and both upstream O2 sensors, spending over a thousand dollars on parts that didn’t fix the issue. After hooking up our diagnostic scanner, we noticed the PCM was intermittently losing communication with the transmission control module (TCM). We swapped in a known-good, correctly programmed PCM, and every single issue vanished instantly. It was a powerful reminder that when multiple, seemingly unrelated electronic symptoms appear, the central computer is the most likely culprit.

- ✔ False warnings on the instrument cluster

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 critical functions like fuel mixture, ignition timing, emissions systems, and automatic transmission shift points to ensure optimal performance and efficiency.
How do I know if my PCM is the problem?
Common symptoms include a check engine light, stalling, poor fuel economy, hard starting, and erratic shifting. If you’ve ruled out other components like sensors and spark plugs, the PCM is a likely cause, especially if multiple electronic issues are present.
Is this module difficult to install?
Installation is generally straightforward for someone with basic mechanical skills. It involves disconnecting the battery, unplugging the electrical connectors from the old module, unbolting it, and then installing the new one in reverse order. A security relearn procedure may be necessary, which typically involves a sequence of key turns.
