Is Your Truck or SUV Running Rough? Get Back to Peak Performance.
If you’re dealing with a persistent check engine light, erratic shifting, a rough idle, or even a no-start condition in your GM truck or SUV, a failing Powertrain Control Module (PCM) is often the culprit. This isn’t just an inconvenience; it affects your vehicle’s reliability, fuel economy, and overall performance. This replacement Programmed 12602802 PCM is the definitive solution to restore your vehicle’s factory operation and get you back on the road with confidence.
Common Symptoms of a Failing GM PCM & Your Solution
The PCM is the brain of your vehicle, controlling everything from fuel mixture and ignition timing to transmission shift points. When it fails, it can cause a cascade of confusing problems. Look out for these common warning signs:
- Persistent Check Engine Light (CEL) with codes like P0601, P0602, or P0606
- Engine stalling, stumbling, or misfiring
- Harsh or unpredictable automatic transmission shifting
- Noticeable decrease in fuel economy
- Vehicle won’t start, even with a good battery and starter

Expert Insight: The Overlooked Key to Drivability
As a technician, I’ve seen countless owners replace perfectly good sensors and transmission parts trying to solve a ghost in the machine. A common case is a 2005 Silverado with a harsh 1-2 shift. The owner might replace solenoids or the valve body, but the problem persists. More often than not, the issue lies within the PCM’s logic. The internal components that control the transmission drivers weaken over time. Installing a properly Programmed 12602802 PCM doesn’t just replace a part; it restores the crisp, decisive logic your transmission needs to function correctly.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a PCM and what does it do?
The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) is your vehicle’s main computer. It controls the critical functions of the engine and transmission to ensure optimal performance, fuel efficiency, and emissions.
Is this part ready to install out of the box?
Yes. After you purchase, you provide us with your vehicle’s VIN. We program the module specifically for your truck or SUV, so it arrives ready to be installed. In most cases, a security relearn procedure (CASE) may be required, which can be done without a scan tool and instructions are readily available online.
Where do I find my VIN?
Your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) can be found on your vehicle’s registration, your insurance card, or on a plate on the driver’s side of the dashboard, visible through the windshield.
What happens after I place my order?
After you complete your purchase, you will need to send us your vehicle’s VIN. Once we receive the VIN, our technicians will program the module and ship it to you promptly.
How can I be sure this will fix my problem?
While this Programmed 12602802 PCM is the solution for many electronic and drivability issues, we always recommend proper diagnostics. If you have confirmed a faulty PCM with diagnostic trouble codes like P0601 (Internal Control Module Memory Check Sum Error), this is the correct part for the job.
Will this fit other GM vehicles not listed?
This module fits a very wide range of GM trucks and SUVs from 2003-2007. Please check the detailed fitment list on this page or contact us with your VIN to confirm compatibility before ordering.
