Restore Peak Performance to Your Vehicle
Is your 2006 SAAB 9-7X, or another compatible GM vehicle, suffering from erratic behavior, poor fuel economy, or a persistent Check Engine Light? These are classic signs of a failing Powertrain Control Module (PCM), the electronic brain of your vehicle’s engine and transmission. A faulty PCM can lead to a cascade of frustrating issues, from rough idling and stalling to incorrect shifting and even a no-start condition. Don’t let a failing computer keep you off the road. This replacement PCM is the definitive solution to restore your vehicle’s original performance, reliability, and efficiency.
This unit, part number 19209820, is a direct-fit replacement for a wide range of GM trucks and SUVs. We take the guesswork and hassle out of the replacement process. Upon purchase, simply provide us with your vehicle’s Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). Our technicians will then program the module with the latest, most stable GM-certified software specific to your exact vehicle build. This ensures seamless communication between all vehicle systems and optimal function right out of the box.
From the Diagnostic Bay
We had a 2006 Chevy Trailblazer come in with a complaint of harsh, unpredictable shifting and a check engine light for a transmission solenoid code. The owner had already replaced the solenoid, but the problem persisted. After hours of chasing wires and testing sensors, we hooked up our scope to the PCM outputs. We discovered the PCM was sending an erratic signal to the transmission, causing the harsh shifts. We installed one of our VIN-programmed modules, performed the security relearn, and the truck drove like it just rolled off the assembly line. It’s a great reminder that sometimes the problem lies with the controller, not just the components it controls.
Solving Your 2006 SAAB 9-7X PCM Problems
The 2006 SAAB 9-7X PCM is the central command unit for all critical powertrain functions. When it begins to fail, the symptoms can be confusing and often misdiagnosed. Replacing it with a pre-programmed module is the most effective way to resolve these deep-seated electronic issues and ensure your vehicle operates as the manufacturer intended. Our process guarantees you receive a module that is ready for installation, saving you a costly trip to the dealership for programming.
Common Symptoms of a Failing PCM
- ✔ Persistent Check Engine Light (CEL) with various trouble codes.
- ✔ Engine stalling, stumbling, or rough idling.
- ✔ Noticeable decrease in fuel economy.
- ✔ Harsh or erratic automatic transmission shifting.
- ✔ Failure to pass emissions testing.
- ✔ Intermittent or complete no-start condition.
- ✔ Communication errors with diagnostic scan tools.
Guaranteed Compatibility and Simple Installation
This module is a direct replacement for a wide array of part numbers, ensuring broad compatibility across the GM GMT360 and GMT370 platforms. Please verify your vehicle’s fitment using the list below. While the module is plug-and-play from a programming standpoint, most GM vehicles of this era require a security relearn procedure (often called a CASE relearn or Passlock relearn) to sync the new PCM with your vehicle’s anti-theft system. This procedure is straightforward and can typically be performed without special tools. Instructions are readily available online or in service manuals.
By choosing our pre-programmed 2006 SAAB 9-7X PCM, you are not just buying a part; you are getting a comprehensive solution. We handle the complex programming so you can focus on the simple installation and get your vehicle back to its reliable self.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to send my old PCM in?
No, there is no core charge or need to send your original module to us. This is a direct purchase of a replacement unit.
What is VIN programming?
VIN programming is the process of loading your vehicle’s specific software and calibration files onto the PCM. This ensures the module works perfectly with your engine, transmission, and all factory options. We use your VIN to access the correct GM software for your vehicle.
Is this module difficult to install?
Physically, the installation is straightforward. It typically involves disconnecting the battery, unplugging the electrical connectors, and unbolting the old module. The most critical step after installation is performing the vehicle’s security relearn procedure to sync the new PCM with your keys and anti-theft system.
Will this fix my check engine light?
If the check engine light and associated codes are caused by a faulty PCM, this replacement will resolve the issue. It’s crucial to ensure that the problem isn’t with a sensor or wiring that the PCM is monitoring.
What information do you need from me?
After you place your order, we will need the 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) from your vehicle. You can typically find this on your dashboard (visible through the windshield), on the driver’s side door jamb sticker, or on your vehicle’s registration and insurance documents.
