An Expert’s Note: Back on the Job
We recently worked with a contractor whose 2002 Silverado 2500 wouldn’t start reliably. He was losing time and money every day he couldn’t get to a job site. After diagnosing a faulty PCM, we sent him this exact Programmed 12200411 PCM. He installed it in his driveway in under an hour and the truck fired right up. For him, it wasn’t just about fixing a part; it was about getting his dependable workhorse back in service and restoring his livelihood. That’s the peace of mind this solution provides.
Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly is a PCM?
The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) is the central computer of your vehicle. It controls all aspects of the engine and transmission, including fuel mixture, ignition timing, and shift points, to ensure optimal performance, efficiency, and emissions.
How do I provide my VIN for programming?
After you complete your purchase, you will need to send us your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). We will provide clear instructions on how to do this. We cannot ship your part until we receive the VIN, as the programming is specific to your exact vehicle.
Will I need to do anything after installation?
In most cases, this is a direct plug-and-play installation. However, some vehicles may require a security relearn procedure (often called a CASE relearn or Passlock relearn), which can typically be done without special tools. We recommend consulting a service manual for your specific model for any post-installation steps.
How can I be sure this fits my vehicle?
Please review the detailed fitment list on this page. This Programmed 12200411 PCM is a direct replacement for part numbers 12200411, 12201281, 12576160, and 52369718. Matching one of these numbers from your original module is the best way to guarantee compatibility.
What if my vehicle has performance modifications?
This PCM is programmed with the original factory GM calibration for your VIN. It is not designed to account for significant aftermarket modifications like forced induction, larger injectors, or non-stock camshafts. It is intended for vehicles with stock or near-stock configurations.
