Restore Your GM Sedan’s Flawless Performance
Is your Pontiac Bonneville or Cadillac DeVille/Seville running rough, stalling, or refusing to start? A failing Engine Control Module (ECM), or Powertrain Control Module (PCM), is often the culprit behind these frustrating and complex issues. This isn’t just a part; it’s the solution to restoring the sophisticated performance and reliability you expect from your vehicle.

An Expert’s Note on GM Programming
For these specific Cadillac and Pontiac models, VIN-programming isn’t just a feature—it’s a necessity. The PCM is the central hub of your car’s electronic network. It communicates with the security system (VATS/Passlock), transmission controller, and body control module. A generic, non-programmed unit simply will not work and will likely result in a no-start condition. Our process ensures that when you receive your Programmed 12587465 PCM, it’s ready to integrate perfectly, just like the original from the factory.
Vehicle Fitment:
- Pontiac Bonneville: 2004-2005 (with 4.6L engine)
- Cadillac DeVille: 2004-2005 (2005 models must have ID 12587465)
- Cadillac Seville: 2004
After purchasing, please provide us with your VIN. This is essential for us to program the computer before shipment.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the programming process work?
It’s simple. After you complete your purchase, you will need to send us your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN. Our technicians then use this VIN to load the correct, updated GM software onto the PCM, ensuring it’s a perfect match for your car’s engine, transmission, and options.
Will I need to do anything after installation?
In most cases, this part is ready to go. However, some GM vehicles may require a security relearn procedure after installation, which syncs the new PCM with your vehicle’s anti-theft system. This procedure is simple and can typically be done without special tools. Instructions are widely available online or in service manuals.
How can I be sure my old PCM is the problem?
While the symptoms listed above are strong indicators, a definitive diagnosis from a qualified technician is the best way to be certain. Common diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) like P0601 (Internal Control Module Memory Check Sum Error) or P0606 (ECM/PCM Processor Fault) are clear signs of internal PCM failure.
What is the difference between a PCM and an ECM?
The terms are often used interchangeably. ECM stands for Engine Control Module, while PCM stands for Powertrain Control Module. A PCM controls both the engine and the transmission, which is standard on most modern vehicles like yours. This Programmed 12587465 PCM serves as the complete powertrain controller.
Is this a new part?
No, this is a genuine, used OEM part that was carefully recovered from a salvaged vehicle. Each unit is inspected and tested before being programmed to ensure its reliability and function.
