A faulty Powertrain Control Module (PCM) can bring your daily drive to a grinding halt, leaving you stranded and frustrated. If you’re seeing a persistent Check Engine Light, experiencing poor fuel economy, or dealing with a no-start condition, the brain of your vehicle’s engine may be the culprit.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to do any programming myself?
No. We handle all the programming before the part is shipped. The unit will arrive flashed to your specific VIN. The only thing you may need to perform is a simple security relearn procedure (often called a VATS relearn), which takes about 30 minutes and requires only your car key.
Where do I provide my VIN?
After you complete your purchase, you will need to send us your 17-digit VIN. You can typically add it as a note to the seller during checkout or send it to us in a message referencing your order number. We cannot ship the module until we have your VIN.
Will this fit my vehicle?
This module fits a wide range of 2003-2005 General Motors vehicles. Please check the detailed compatibility list on this page to confirm it matches your specific make, model, and year. Matching the part number (12583826 or 12583827) is the best way to ensure a perfect fit.
What is the security relearn procedure?
For most compatible GM vehicles, the procedure is simple: 1) Insert the key and turn it to the ‘ON’ position (don’t start the engine). 2) Leave it on for 10-12 minutes, or until the security light on the dash stops flashing and turns off. 3) Turn the key off for 10 seconds. 4) Repeat this cycle two more times for a total of three cycles. The vehicle should then start and run normally.
Is this a brand new part?
This is a high-quality, thoroughly tested replacement component that meets or exceeds original equipment specifications. Each unit is inspected and prepared to provide reliable, long-term service for your vehicle.
