Get Your GM Back on the Road, Fast.
Is your GM truck, van, or SUV suffering from stalling, no-start conditions, erratic shifting, or a persistent Check Engine light? A faulty Powertrain Control Module (PCM) is often the hidden culprit, causing endless frustration and costly diagnostic guesswork. This professionally programmed 12200411 PCM is the definitive, hassle-free solution to restore your vehicle’s core performance and get you back to work or on the road with confidence.
Common Symptoms & Your Solution
A failing engine computer can mimic a wide range of other mechanical or electrical problems. If you’re experiencing any of the following, this module is your likely fix:
- Severe drop in fuel economy
- Engine stalling or cutting out while driving
- Harsh or unpredictable automatic transmission shifting
- Failure to start, even with a good battery and starter
- Check Engine Light with communication error codes (like U-codes)
- Specific Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) such as P0601 (Internal Control Module Memory Check Sum Error) or P0606 (ECM/PCM Processor Fault)
Instead of chasing down phantom sensor issues, address the root cause. This fully programmed 12200411 PCM is designed to resolve these issues permanently, restoring the precise engine and transmission control your vehicle had when it left the factory.

Expert Insight: The Critical Importance of VIN Programming
As a technician with over 20 years of experience, I’ve seen countless hours and dollars wasted on modules that weren’t programmed correctly. A generic PCM from a salvage yard might seem cheaper, but it won’t communicate with your vehicle’s security system or other modules. Our process ensures the PCM is a perfect digital match for your specific vehicle. We handle the complex programming so you can handle the simple installation and get your vehicle back in service without the headache of a trip to the dealership.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to have this programmed by a dealer?
No. The main benefit of our service is that this module arrives at your door pre-programmed for your exact vehicle using the VIN you provide. This saves you the time, expense, and hassle of a dealership visit.
What information do you need from me after I order?
After you complete your purchase, you will need to send us your vehicle’s 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). We cannot ship your part until we receive this information, as it is essential for the programming process.
Is this the same as an ECM or an ECU?
Yes. The terms PCM (Powertrain Control Module), ECM (Engine Control Module), and ECU (Engine Control Unit) are often used interchangeably. For these GM vehicles, this single module controls both the engine and transmission functions.
Will I need to perform a security relearn procedure?
Yes, in most cases you will need to perform a simple security relearn, also known as a VATS or Passlock relearn. This procedure does not require any special tools and typically involves cycling the ignition key. It takes about 10-15 minutes and allows the new PCM to synchronize with your vehicle’s anti-theft system. We include instructions to guide you through this easy process.
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 multiple part numbers and fits a wide range of GM trucks, vans, and SUVs from 2000-2003. Providing your VIN ensures we program it correctly for your specific make, model, and options.
Where is my VIN located?
You can find your 17-digit VIN on a metal plate on the driver’s side of the dashboard (visible through the windshield), on the driver’s side door jamb sticker, or on your vehicle’s registration and insurance documents.
