Restore Peak Performance to Your GM Truck or Van
Is your trusty GM vehicle suddenly unreliable? Experiencing frustrating issues like stalling at stoplights, a persistent check engine light, or a complete no-start condition? The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) is the brain of your engine, and when it fails, it can cause a host of problems that leave you stranded. This isn’t just an inconvenience; for a work truck or family SUV, it’s a major disruption. We provide the definitive solution: a professionally programmed 16263494 PCM, flashed with the latest GM software specifically for your vehicle’s VIN.
Common Symptoms & Your Solution
A failing PCM can be difficult to diagnose, often mimicking other part failures. If you’re experiencing any of the following, a faulty module is a likely culprit:
- Erratic or rough idling
- Engine stalling or cutting out unexpectedly
- Failure to start, even with a good battery and starter
- Poor fuel economy and reduced engine power
- Check Engine Light (CEL) with communication error codes or internal module codes (e.g., P0601, P0605)
- Transmission shifting problems or harsh engagement
- Failure to pass emissions testing
Instead of wrestling with a used module from a junkyard or paying steep dealership prices for programming, our service provides a reliable, cost-effective fix. This programmed 16263494 PCM is the direct path to getting your vehicle back in dependable, working order.

From the Shop Floor: Over 20 years, I’ve seen countless vehicles come in with perplexing electrical issues. A common mistake is replacing sensors and parts chasing a ghost, when the real issue is the PCM itself. Getting a properly programmed 16263494 PCM is critical. An unprogrammed or incorrectly flashed unit can cause more problems than it solves. We take that variable out of the equation by flashing it with certified software tied to your VIN, ensuring the engine, transmission, and security systems all communicate correctly from the moment you turn the key.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to do any programming myself?
No. We handle all the programming before shipping the module to you. It will arrive flashed with the latest GM updates for your specific VIN. The only thing you may need to do is a simple security relearn procedure, which can be done without any special tools.
How do I provide my Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)?
After you complete your purchase, you will need to send us your 17-digit VIN. We will provide clear instructions on how to do this. We cannot ship the part until we have your VIN to program it correctly.
Will this fix my specific problem?
This module will correct any issues directly caused by a failing PCM. However, it’s essential to ensure your vehicle has been properly diagnosed. This part will not fix problems related to faulty wiring, sensors, or other mechanical components.
Is this the correct part for my vehicle?
Please review the detailed fitment list on this page. The best way to ensure compatibility is to match the part number from your original module to one of the numbers listed (e.g., 16263494). If you’re unsure, feel free to contact us with your VIN.
What is the security relearn procedure?
For most of these GM vehicles, it’s a simple 30-minute process. You’ll typically turn the key to the ‘ON’ position for 10 minutes, then off, and repeat this cycle three times. This allows your vehicle’s anti-theft system to recognize the new PCM. We can provide instructions for this easy procedure.
