Common Symptoms of a Failing GM PCM & Your Solution
If your vehicle is experiencing any of the following, a failing engine computer may be the culprit. This unit is the definitive fix for these common problems:
- Persistent Check Engine Light (CEL): Especially for internal module fault codes like P0601, P0602, P0605, or P0606.
- Engine Stalling or Misfiring: Unexplained stalling at idle or while driving.
- Poor Fuel Economy: A sudden and unexplained drop in your vehicle’s MPG.
- Harsh or Incorrect Shifting: The transmission shifts erratically, late, or slams into gear.
- No-Start Condition: The engine cranks but refuses to start, often with no spark or fuel injector pulse.
- Failed Emissions Test: Inability to pass smog or emissions testing due to module-related errors.
Installing this professionally Programmed 16263494 PCM restores the critical brainpower your vehicle needs for optimal operation, solving these issues at their core.

An Expert’s Note on Programming: I’ve seen it countless times in the shop: a customer installs a junkyard computer, and the vehicle still won’t start or runs worse. That’s because the PCM is the brain, and it needs the *exact* software for your vehicle’s VIN. Our process isn’t just about loading a file; it’s about flashing the module with the latest GM-certified updates for your specific configuration. This prevents compatibility conflicts and ensures every system communicates perfectly, just like it did from the factory. You’re not just buying a part; you’re buying a precise, ready-to-work solution.
Take the guesswork out of your repair. By providing us with your VIN after purchase, you ensure that the Programmed 16263494 PCM you receive is the correct, updated, and ready-to-install brain for your vehicle. Restore the dependability you need to get the job done.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I provide my VIN number?
After you complete your purchase, simply reply to your order confirmation email with your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). You can also add it as a note during checkout. We cannot ship your part until we have this information.
Is this really a plug-and-play installation?
Yes, for most vehicles. Because we program the module to your VIN, it is ready to be installed. Some GM vehicles may require a simple security relearn procedure (also known as a CASE relearn) after installation, which can typically be done without any special tools. We include instructions for this common procedure.
Will this fix my specific problem?
This Programmed 16263494 PCM will correct any issues directly caused by a faulty original computer, including internal processor faults (like code P0601), driver circuit failures, and communication errors. It’s crucial to properly diagnose your vehicle to ensure the PCM is the source of the problem before ordering.
What is the difference between a PCM, ECM, and ECU?
These acronyms are often used interchangeably. ECU (Engine Control Unit) is a general term. ECM (Engine Control Module) typically refers to a computer that only controls the engine. PCM (Powertrain Control Module) is the most accurate term for this part, as it controls both the engine and the transmission functions.
How can I be sure this part fits my vehicle?
The best way to ensure compatibility is to match the service number from your original module to one of the numbers listed (16263494, 16265035). Please also review the detailed fitment list on this page. Providing your VIN for programming is the final step that guarantees it will work correctly.
