Is Your GM Truck or SUV Experiencing Frustrating Problems?
If your vehicle is stalling, shifting erratically, or simply won’t start, a failing Powertrain Control Module (PCM) is often the culprit. You’re losing time, and your vehicle’s reliability is gone. This isn’t just an inconvenience; it’s a major disruption. We provide the definitive, plug-and-play solution to get you back on the road with confidence. This unit is a direct replacement for service number 12570558 and is professionally programmed to your vehicle’s specific VIN before it ships, ensuring a seamless repair.
Common Symptoms & Your Solution
A failing engine computer can manifest in numerous ways, often leading to confusing diagnostics. If you’re experiencing any of the following, this module is the solution you’ve been looking for:
- Check Engine Light: Persistent illumination with codes like P0601, P0602, P0606, or other internal controller errors.
- No-Start Condition: The engine cranks but refuses to start, often due to a lack of fuel injector or ignition coil signals.
- Poor Performance: Noticeable loss of power, reduced fuel economy, and rough idling.
- Transmission Issues: Harsh or incorrect shifting, as the PCM also controls transmission functions.
- Communication Errors: Your scan tool is unable to communicate with the Programmed 12570558 PCM.
By replacing your old module with this professionally flashed unit, you are directly addressing the root cause of these issues and restoring your vehicle’s factory-specified performance and dependability.

An Expert’s Note on Programming: Many people think they can just grab a computer from a salvage yard and plug it in. For these GM vehicles, that simply won’t work. The PCM is the brain, and it’s electronically tied to your specific vehicle’s anti-theft system (VATS/Passlock) and options. An un-programmed module will result in a no-start condition every time. Our service handles this critical programming step for you, so the new PCM correctly communicates with the rest of your vehicle from the moment you install it. This is the difference between a quick repair and a week of headaches.
Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly does the PCM do?
The Powertrain Control Module (PCM), also known as the Engine Control Module (ECM), is your vehicle’s central computer. It controls critical functions of the engine and transmission, such as fuel injection, spark timing, and automatic gear shifting, to ensure optimal performance, efficiency, and emissions.
Is this part difficult to install?
The physical installation is straightforward for someone with basic mechanical skills. It typically involves disconnecting the battery, unplugging the electrical connectors from the old module, unbolting it, and then installing the new one in reverse order. The key is that our pre-programming service eliminates the need for expensive dealer-only tools.
Will I need to do anything after I install it?
In most cases, you will need to perform a simple security relearn procedure, also known as a VATS or Passlock relearn. This procedure can be done without any special tools and typically involves a sequence of turning the key on and off. Instructions for this are widely available online for your specific model.
How do I provide you with my VIN?
After you complete your purchase, you will need to send us your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). We cannot ship your part until we receive this information, as it is required for the programming process.
How can I be sure this fits my vehicle?
This Programmed 12570558 PCM fits a wide variety of 2003-2004 GM vehicles. Please review the detailed compatibility list on this page. The most important step is to match one of the service numbers listed (e.g., 12570558, 12581565) to the number on your current module’s sticker.
