Is Your GM Vehicle Running Rough? Get the Right Fix, The First Time.
If you’re dealing with a persistent check engine light, erratic shifting, stalling, or even a no-start condition in your GM truck, van, or SUV, a failing Powertrain Control Module (PCM) is often the culprit. Ignoring these symptoms can lead to poor fuel economy, failed emissions tests, and potential damage to other components. This isn’t just an inconvenience; it’s a problem that compromises your vehicle’s reliability. Stop chasing symptoms and replace the core component with a solution designed to work right out of the box.
Common Symptoms & Your Direct Solution
A faulty PCM can manifest in numerous ways, often mimicking other sensor failures. If you’ve experienced any of the following, our pre-programmed module is your definitive solution:
- Unexplained Check Engine Light with codes like P0601, P0602, or P0606
- Harsh or delayed automatic transmission shifting
- Engine stalling or misfiring intermittently
- Poor engine performance and reduced fuel efficiency
- No communication between the PCM and your scan tool
- Vehicle fails to start despite a good battery and starter
This Programmed 12200411 PCM is the answer. We take a quality, inspected module and flash it with the latest official GM software updates, specifically matched to your vehicle’s unique VIN. This critical step ensures all systems communicate correctly, restoring the performance and dependability you rely on every day.

A Technician’s Insight: I’ve seen countless DIY mechanics and even professional shops get stuck after installing a used, un-programmed computer. The vehicle won’t start because the anti-theft system (GM’s Passlock or VATS) doesn’t recognize the new module. Our process eliminates that headache. By programming the PCM to your VIN *before* it leaves our facility, we ensure the security handshake is correct from the moment you plug it in, saving you hours of frustration and the potential need for specialized tools.
Frequently Asked Questions
What do I need to do after I place my order?
After your purchase, you must provide us with your vehicle’s 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). We cannot program and ship your module without it. You can typically add this as a note during checkout or send it to us in a message referencing your order number.
Is this module difficult to install?
Physically, the installation is straightforward for anyone with basic mechanical skills. It usually involves disconnecting the battery, unplugging the electrical connectors, and removing a few bolts. Since our Programmed 12200411 PCM is pre-flashed, you avoid the complex programming steps. Some vehicles may require a simple security relearn procedure, which takes 10-30 minutes and does not require special tools. Instructions are readily available online for this process.
How do I find my VIN?
Your VIN can be found on a metal plate on the driver’s side of the dashboard (visible through the windshield), on the driver’s side door jamb sticker, and on your vehicle’s registration and insurance documents.
Will this fix my exact problem?
This PCM is a direct solution for a failed module. While it resolves the common symptoms listed, we always recommend a proper diagnosis by a qualified mechanic to confirm the PCM is the source of your issue before ordering. This ensures you are purchasing the correct part for your repair.
How can I be sure this fits my vehicle?
This module replaces part number 12200411 and several others. Please check the detailed fitment list on this page to confirm your make, model, and year. Providing us with your VIN is the ultimate confirmation, as we will verify compatibility during the programming process.
