Restore Your GM Truck’s Performance and Reliability
Is your 2001-2002 Savana, Silverado, or Sierra plagued by frustrating and unpredictable issues? A faulty Powertrain Control Module (PCM) can be the hidden cause behind a wide range of problems, from a persistent check engine light to a vehicle that refuses to start. This isn’t just an inconvenience; it’s a matter of reliability for your work van or family SUV. This direct-fit replacement PCM is the definitive solution, arriving at your door programmed to your vehicle’s specific VIN for a straightforward installation.
Common Symptoms & Your Solution
A failing PCM can manifest in many ways, often mimicking other component failures. If you’re experiencing any of the following, your engine computer is the likely culprit:
- Check Engine Light: Persistent illumination, especially with communication-related Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) like P0601, P0602, or P0606.
- Erratic Performance: Unexplained stalling, rough idling, hesitation during acceleration, and poor fuel economy.
- No-Start Condition: The engine cranks but won’t start, often due to a lack of fuel injector or ignition coil command from the PCM.
- Harsh Shifting: The transmission may shift erratically, slam into gear, or fail to shift at all.
- Communication Failures: Your scan tool may be unable to communicate with the PCM.
Installing this professionally programmed GMC Savana 1500 PCM 52369718 is the most effective way to permanently resolve these issues and get your vehicle operating as it should.

Expert Insight: Why VIN Programming is Non-Negotiable
As a technician with 20 years on the shop floor, I’ve seen countless vehicle owners try to save a few dollars by installing a used, unprogrammed computer from a junkyard. It almost never ends well. Without proper VIN programming, the vehicle’s anti-theft system (Passlock/VATS) will immediately immobilize the engine, resulting in a no-start condition. Furthermore, mismatched software for different engine sizes, transmissions, or emissions equipment will cause poor performance and a cascade of error codes. Our pre-programming service isn’t just a convenience; it’s the critical step that makes this a viable, effective repair you can perform with confidence.
Frequently Asked Questions
What information do you need from me?
After you place your order, you must provide us with your vehicle’s 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). We cannot program or ship the module without it. This ensures the GMC Savana 1500 PCM 52369718 is a perfect match for your vehicle’s factory configuration.
Is any additional programming required after installation?
In most cases, you will need to perform a simple security relearn procedure after installation. This can typically be done without any special tools and involves a series of key cycles. We include instructions for this process. This step syncs the new PCM with your vehicle’s anti-theft system.
Is this a guaranteed fix for my vehicle’s problems?
This PCM will fix any issue directly caused by a faulty engine computer. However, it’s crucial to ensure your vehicle has been properly diagnosed. This module will not fix problems related to other bad sensors, wiring issues, or mechanical failures.
Does this module fit vehicles other than the Savana 1500?
Yes. This PCM, often identified by the service number 12200411, is compatible with a very wide range of 2001-2002 GM trucks, vans, and SUVs, including the Silverado, Sierra, Tahoe, Yukon, Suburban, and Express. Please check the detailed fitment list in the description to confirm compatibility.
