Is Your 2007 GMC Canyon Running Rough?
If you’re experiencing perplexing issues like erratic engine behavior, stalling, poor fuel economy, or a persistent Check Engine Light that won’t go away, the heart of your vehicle’s engine management system—the Powertrain Control Module (PCM)—may be the culprit. The PCM is the central computer that controls everything from fuel injection and ignition timing to transmission shifting and emissions. When it fails, it can create a cascade of problems that are often difficult to diagnose. This replacement PCM, part number 12602010 (also interchangeable with 19210067), is the definitive solution to restore your truck’s performance and reliability.
The Plug-and-Play Solution: Your 2007 Canyon PCM Programmed to Your VIN
One of the biggest hurdles in replacing a modern vehicle’s computer is the complex programming required. A module from a salvage yard or a generic part won’t work correctly without being specifically calibrated to your vehicle’s options and security system. We eliminate that step for you. When you order this PCM, we flash it with the latest GM-certified software updates using your vehicle’s unique Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). This ensures that the module is a perfect match for your truck, making installation a straightforward, plug-and-play process. No expensive trips to the dealership for programming are necessary.
From the Diagnostic Bay
We once had a 2007 Chevy Colorado in the shop with a ghost of a problem. The owner had replaced O2 sensors, the MAF sensor, and even the catalytic converter chasing a P0420 code and rough idle. Nothing worked. After hours of diagnostics, we hooked up a scope to the PCM’s driver circuits for the fuel injectors. We found that the signal for cylinder 3 was weak and inconsistent. The PCM itself was failing internally, but not in a way that set a specific computer failure code. We installed a VIN-programmed PCM, and the truck immediately ran like new. It’s a classic example of how a failing computer can mimic other component failures, costing you time and money on parts you don’t need.
Common Symptoms of a Failing PCM
- ✔ Persistent Check Engine Light with various, often unrelated, trouble codes.
- ✔ Engine stalling, stumbling, or misfiring for no apparent reason.
- ✔ A noticeable drop in fuel efficiency.
- ✔ Harsh or erratic automatic transmission shifting.
- ✔ The engine cranks but refuses to start (no-start condition).
- ✔ Failure to communicate with a diagnostic scan tool.
- ✔ Issues with emissions testing.

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 the critical functions of the engine and transmission, such as fuel-to-air ratio, ignition timing, idle speed, and transmission shift points, to ensure optimal performance, fuel economy, and emissions.
Is this module ready to install when it arrives?
Yes! We program the module using the VIN you provide during checkout. This means it arrives flashed with the correct software for your specific vehicle. In most cases, it is a direct plug-and-play installation, though some vehicles may require a simple security relearn procedure, which can be done without special tools.
How do I provide my VIN?
You can add your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) in the notes section during checkout. You can also reply to your order confirmation email with the VIN. We cannot ship your part until we receive this information.
Where is the PCM located on my 2007 GMC Canyon?
On the 2007 GMC Canyon and its platform mates (Colorado, H3, etc.), the PCM is typically located in the engine bay, mounted to the right-hand (passenger side) firewall.
Will this fix my Check Engine Light?
If the Check Engine Light is caused by a faulty PCM, then yes, this part will resolve the issue. However, it’s crucial to ensure that the codes are not being caused by other failing components like sensors or wiring. This PCM will fix issues originating from the computer itself.
Do I need to do a security relearn procedure?
Some GM vehicles require a security relearn procedure (also known as a CASE relearn or Passlock relearn) to sync the new PCM with the vehicle’s anti-theft system. This is a simple procedure that typically involves turning the key to the ‘ON’ position for 10-15 minutes, then off, and repeating two more times. Instructions for this can be easily found online for your specific model.
