- Harsh or unpredictable transmission shifting.
- Engine stalling, stumbling, or misfiring for no apparent reason.
- Reduced fuel economy and loss of power.
- The vehicle won’t start, even with a good battery and starter.

An Expert’s Diagnostic Tip
Before you replace your PCM, perform a thorough check of your vehicle’s main power and ground connections, especially the ground strap from the engine block to the chassis. A corroded or loose ground can cause voltage drops and erratic sensor readings that perfectly mimic the symptoms of a failed computer. A few minutes with a wrench and some contact cleaner can sometimes save you from replacing a perfectly good module. If your grounds are solid and the problems persist, this programmed 12589462 PCM is your next logical step.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to do any programming myself?
No. We handle the programming for you. Simply provide us with your vehicle’s VIN during or after checkout, and the module will arrive ready for installation. You may need to perform a simple security relearn procedure after installation, which can typically be done without any special tools.
How do I provide my VIN?
After you complete your purchase, you can send us a message with your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). We cannot ship your part until we receive this information, as it is essential for the programming process.
Will this fix my specific problem or check engine light?
This PCM is a direct solution for failures within the module itself, often indicated by codes like P0601 (Internal Control Module Memory Check Sum Error). While it resolves a wide range of issues, it’s crucial to ensure your vehicle has been properly diagnosed. This part will not fix problems caused by other faulty sensors or wiring issues.
What if my original part number doesn’t match exactly?
This module is a direct replacement for several part numbers, including 12589462, 12602801, and 89017749. As long as your vehicle is on the compatibility list and you provide the correct VIN, we will program it to function perfectly for your application.
Is this a new part?
This is a high-quality, inspected, and tested OEM part that has been professionally programmed to ensure it meets or exceeds original factory specifications for performance and reliability.
