Is your trusty GM truck or van giving you headaches? A persistent check engine light, rough running, stalling, or a complete no-start situation can sideline your vehicle when you need it most. These issues often point directly to a failing Powertrain Control Module (PCM), the central computer of your engine. We offer the definitive, hassle-free solution: a professionally Programmed 16263494 PCM, flashed with the latest GM software and tailored specifically to your vehicle’s VIN.
Common Symptoms & Your Solution
A failing PCM can manifest in numerous frustrating ways. You might be experiencing one or more of the following:
- Check Engine Light (CEL) with specific codes (e.g., P0601, P0602, P0606)
- Unexplained stalling or rough idling
- Poor fuel economy and loss of power
- Harsh or erratic transmission shifting
- Failure to pass emissions testing
- Complete no-start condition where the engine cranks but won’t fire
Swapping in a junkyard module without programming is a recipe for more problems. Installing a correctly configured Programmed 16263494 PCM is the most effective way to resolve these deep-seated electronic issues and restore your vehicle’s factory performance and reliability.
