An Expert’s Tip: Don’t Skip the Security Relearn!
As a technician with over two decades of experience, I’ve seen countless DIYers get frustrated after installing a new PCM. They’ll install the part, but the truck still won’t start. Why? They missed the crucial ‘Security Relearn’ or ‘Case Learn’ procedure. On these GM vehicles, the PCM must sync with the anti-theft system (Passlock/VATS). It’s a simple, 30-minute process that requires only your key and your timeโno special tools needed. We provide clear instructions to guide you. Completing this step is the key to a successful installation and ensures your 2001-2002 Yukon XL 1500 PCM 12576160 communicates correctly with the rest of your vehicle’s systems.
Stop letting a faulty computer dictate when and where you can drive. Take control with this reliable, professionally programmed solution. By ordering this 2001-2002 Yukon XL 1500 PCM 12576160, you’re not just buying a part; you’re restoring the confidence and dependability you need from your vehicle.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to do anything after installing this PCM?

We provide easy-to-follow instructions for this process, which typically takes about 30 minutes and does not require any special tools.
