As a technician with over two decades of experience, I’ve seen countless PCMs replaced when the real issue was a simple bad ground or a weak battery.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to do any programming myself?
No. This module arrives fully programmed to the VIN you provide. The only additional step may be a simple security relearn procedure (often called a VATS relearn), which involves a series of key cycles and does not require any special tools.
Where do I provide my vehicle’s 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 your part until we receive and program it with your VIN.
Where is the PCM located on my 2001-2002 Yukon XL?
On this specific model, the PCM is located in the engine bay on the driver’s side (LH side), underneath the battery tray.
Will this fix my specific problem?
This 2001-2002 Yukon XL 1500 PCM is a direct solution for issues caused by a failed computer. While it resolves the most common symptoms, it’s important to ensure your vehicle’s other components (like sensors, wiring, and fuel system) are in good working order. Proper diagnosis is key.
