Restore Peak Performance to Your GM Vehicle
Is your truck, van, or SUV suffering from frustrating issues like a persistent check engine light, rough idling, stalling, or erratic shifting? These are classic signs of a failing Powertrain Control Module (PCM), the electronic brain of your vehicle. Don’t let a faulty computer keep you off the road or compromise your vehicle’s reliability. This direct-replacement PCM is the definitive solution, arriving at your door fully programmed and ready for a straightforward installation.
Common Symptoms & Your Solution
A failing PCM can cause a wide range of confusing problems. If you’re experiencing any of the following, this module is the likely fix you’ve been looking for:
- Persistent Check Engine Light (CEL)
- Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) like P0601, P0602, P0606
- Engine stalling or cutting out unexpectedly
- Rough or inconsistent idling
- Poor fuel economy
- Harsh or incorrect transmission shifting
- Failure to pass emissions testing
- Complete no-start condition
Instead of wrestling with a generic, unprogrammed unit that requires an expensive trip to the dealership, our programmed 12581565 PCM is tailored specifically to your vehicle. We use your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) to flash the module with the latest, most stable software updates from GM, ensuring it communicates perfectly with all of your vehicle’s systems right out of the box.

An Expert’s Note on VIN Programming
As a technician with over 20 years of experience, I can’t overstate the importance of proper VIN programming. In these GM vehicles, the PCM is the central hub that talks to everything from the engine and transmission to the anti-theft system (VATS/Passlock) and even the instrument cluster. Simply installing a blank computer will result in a no-start situation every time. Our pre-programming service isn’t just a convenience; it’s the critical step that makes this a successful DIY repair, ensuring all systems integrate seamlessly as the manufacturer intended.
Stop chasing mysterious electrical gremlins and get the definitive solution. This programmed 12581565 PCM is your most efficient path to getting your dependable GM vehicle back on the road and running perfectly. Order today and take the first step towards a confident, complete repair.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to do anything after I install the PCM?
Yes. While the module is programmed for your engine and options, you will need to perform a simple security relearn procedure. This allows the new PCM to recognize your vehicle’s anti-theft system. This procedure typically takes 30 minutes and can be done without any special tools. We include instructions to guide you through it.
How do I provide my VIN?
After you complete your purchase, you will need to send us your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). You can typically find this on your driver’s side dashboard (visible through the windshield), on your vehicle’s registration, or on the driver’s side door jamb sticker.
Is this a true plug-and-play unit?
It’s as close as it gets. The physical installation is plug-and-play, with connectors matching your factory harness perfectly. The only additional step is the security relearn procedure, which is required for any PCM replacement on these vehicles to sync with the anti-theft system.
My original part number isn’t 12581565. Will this still work?
Yes, this PCM is compatible with a wide range of service numbers. Please check the detailed fitment list in our description to confirm that one of the compatible numbers (like 12570557, 89017733, etc.) matches the one on your original module.
Will this computer fix my specific problem?
This PCM is the direct solution for failures within the computer itself, which cause the symptoms listed above. However, it’s always essential to ensure your vehicle has been properly diagnosed. This part will not fix issues caused by faulty sensors, wiring, or mechanical problems.
