Is Your Family’s Yukon XL Suddenly Unreliable?
There’s nothing more frustrating than a vehicle you can’t depend on. If your 2001-2002 GMC Yukon XL 1500 is suffering from a persistent check engine light, rough running, stalling, or erratic shifting, the problem often points to a failing Powertrain Control Module (PCM). This isn’t just an inconvenience; it’s a core issue that affects your SUV’s performance, fuel economy, and safety. Don’t let a faulty computer keep your trusted family hauler parked. This is the straightforward, reliable solution to get you back on the road with confidence.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to do any programming or flashing myself?
No. This PCM arrives pre-programmed to the VIN you provide during checkout. It is ready for installation right out of the box, eliminating the need for special tools or a visit to the dealership.
What information do you need from me?
After you complete your purchase, you will need to provide us with your vehicle’s 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). This is essential for us to load the correct GM software for your specific engine, transmission, and options.
Where is the PCM located on my 2001-2002 Yukon XL 1500?
On most GMT800 platform vehicles like your Yukon XL, the PCM is located in the engine bay, on the driver’s side, under the battery tray or near the fender.
Will this fix my check engine light?
If the check engine light is caused by a faulty PCM (e.g., codes P0601-P0606 or internal communication errors), this replacement unit is the correct fix. However, you should always ensure other potential issues (like sensors or wiring) have been properly diagnosed first.
What is the security relearn procedure?
In many cases, after installing the new PCM, you will need to perform a simple security relearn procedure (often called the Passlock or VATS relearn). This can typically be done without any special tools and involves a sequence of turning the key in the ignition. Instructions are widely available online for your specific model.
Is this compatible with other GM trucks and SUVs?
Yes. While this listing is for the Yukon XL, this PCM, often known as the ‘0411’ PCM, is compatible with a very wide range of 2001-2002 GM vehicles, including the Silverado, Sierra, Tahoe, Suburban, and more. Please check the fitment list to confirm it matches your specific vehicle.
