Restore Peak Performance to Your GM Vehicle
Is your truck or SUV suffering from a persistent check engine light, erratic shifting, or a no-start condition? A failing Powertrain Control Module (PCM) is often the culprit, disrupting your vehicle’s core operations and leaving you stranded. This isn’t just an inconvenience; it’s a critical failure that compromises reliability and performance. Get your dependable GM back on the road with this fully programmed PCM, the definitive solution for restoring factory function and peace of mind.
The Direct Solution for Common PCM Failure Symptoms
Don’t waste time and money chasing down the wrong parts. A faulty engine computer can manifest in numerous ways that mimic other component failures. If you’re experiencing any of the following, this module is the solution you need:
- Check Engine Light (CEL) Illumination: Particularly for internal module error codes like P0601, P0602, P0604, or P0606.
- Engine Performance Issues: Rough idling, stalling, misfires, or a noticeable loss of power and fuel economy.
- No-Start or Intermittent Starting: The engine cranks but refuses to start, or starts unreliably.
- Transmission Problems: Harsh or incorrect shifting patterns, as the PCM also controls transmission functions.
- Failed Emissions Test: Inability to pass state inspections due to module-related diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs).

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the programming process work after I order?
It’s simple. After you complete your purchase, you will need to provide us with your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN. We will then flash the module with the correct, updated software from GM that is specific to your exact vehicle configuration. The module will not ship until we have programmed it.
Will I need to do any additional programming myself?
In most cases, no. The module is programmed for your engine and transmission. However, on many GM vehicles, you may need to perform a simple Security Relearn procedure, which can typically be done without special tools and takes about 30 minutes. Instructions are readily available online for this process. Some vehicles may also require a Crankshaft Variation Relearn (CASE Relearn), which requires a capable scan tool.
Is this a brand new part?
This is a high-quality, serviceable OEM component that has been thoroughly inspected and tested to ensure it meets or exceeds original factory specifications. It is programmed with the newest software to provide a long-lasting and reliable solution for your vehicle.
How can I be sure this fits my vehicle?
This module replaces several part numbers and fits a wide range of GM models from 2000-2003, including the Yukon, Silverado, Tahoe, Sierra, and more. Please check the detailed fitment list in our description and match your original part number to one of the compatible numbers listed (12200411, 12201281, 12576160, 52369718). Providing your VIN for programming is the final step to guarantee a perfect match.
Where is my VIN located?
You can find your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) on your vehicle’s registration, your insurance card, or on the vehicle itself. It is typically located on a plate on the driver’s side dashboard visible through the windshield, or on the sticker inside the driver’s side door jamb.
