Is Your GM Vehicle Plagued by Frustrating Issues?
If your GM truck, van, or SUV is suffering from a persistent check engine light, erratic performance, stalling, or a no-start condition, a failing Powertrain Control Module (PCM) is the likely culprit. This central computer is the brain of your vehicle, and when it fails, it can cause a host of problems that are impossible to fix with simple mechanical repairs. This direct-fit, VIN-programmed 12200411 PCM is the definitive, reliable solution to get your vehicle back on the road and running like it should.
Common Symptoms & Your Solution
A faulty engine computer can manifest in numerous ways. You might be experiencing one or more of the following issues:
- Persistent Check Engine Light (CEL) with internal module fault codes (e.g., P0601, P0606)
- Vehicle refuses to start or stalls intermittently
- Poor fuel economy and reduced engine power
- Harsh or erratic automatic transmission shifting
- Communication errors with diagnostic scan tools
- Unexplained failure of multiple sensors at once
Instead of continuing to replace expensive sensors or chasing electrical gremlins, this pre-programmed 12200411 PCM provides the direct fix. It restores the critical communication pathways between your engine and transmission, solving the problem at its source.

Expert Insight: The End of Diagnostic Headaches
I’ve seen countless technicians and DIYers spend weeks chasing what they thought were bad fuel pumps, clogged injectors, or faulty sensors on these early 2000s GM vehicles. A customer with a 2002 Sierra 1500 was about to give up after his truck would randomly stall at stoplights. After confirming his diagnostics, we suggested the PCM. He installed our pre-programmed 12200411 PCM in his driveway in under an hour. The stalling vanished instantly. The root cause wasn’t a mechanical part; it was the computer giving faulty commands. This simple swap saved him hundreds in further diagnostic fees and restored his trust in his truck.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to have this programmed by a dealer?
No. This is the biggest benefit of our service. We program the module to the VIN you provide before we ship it. This makes the installation a simple plug-and-play process, saving you time and money.
Where do I provide my vehicle’s VIN?
You can add your 17-digit VIN to the notes section during checkout. If you forget, don’t worry—we will contact you via email to request it before programming and shipping your part.
Will this fix my specific problem?
This PCM is designed to correct issues stemming from an internal failure of the original computer. If you have diagnostic trouble codes pointing to an internal module failure (like P0601) or have professionally diagnosed the PCM as the point of failure, this is the correct solution.
What is a CASE Relearn and will I need to perform one?
A CASE (Crankshaft Angle Sensor Error) Relearn synchronizes the new PCM with your engine’s crankshaft position sensor. While many vehicles will start and run without it, performing a CASE relearn with a capable bi-directional scan tool is highly recommended for optimal performance and to clear certain check engine codes. Many local repair shops can perform this service for you.
My original part number is different. Will this still work?
Yes, this module is a direct replacement for several compatible part numbers, including 12201281, 12576160, and 52369718. As long as your original part number is listed in our compatibility chart, this unit will function correctly in your vehicle.
