Get Your GM Truck Back on the Road, Fast.
Is your Silverado, Sierra, or Yukon suffering from frustrating and unpredictable issues? A faulty Powertrain Control Module (PCM) can bring your entire operation to a halt, causing everything from a no-start condition to poor fuel economy and a persistent check engine light. This isn’t just an inconvenience; it’s a hit to your vehicle’s reliability. This direct-fit engine computer, part number 12200411 PCM, is the definitive solution to restore your truck or SUV’s performance and dependability. It arrives at your door programmed with the latest GM software updates, specifically matched to your vehicle’s VIN. This eliminates the need for expensive dealership programming, getting you back to work or back to your family with confidence.
Common Symptoms & Your Solution
If you’re experiencing any of the following, a failing PCM is the likely culprit:
- Vehicle will not start or is hard to start
- Check Engine Light is on with communication error codes (U-codes)

Expert Insight from the Shop Floor
“I’ve seen countless DIYers and even some shops get stuck after installing a used computer from a salvage yard. The truck cranks but won’t start. Why? Because the Vehicle Anti-Theft System (VATS/Passlock) in the replacement PCM doesn’t recognize the vehicle’s keys. Our process eliminates this headache. By programming the module to your specific VIN before we ship, we ensure the core systems are ready to communicate. In most cases, all that’s left is a simple, 10-minute key relearn procedure you can do yourself right in your driveway. It’s the difference between a quick repair and a week of troubleshooting.”
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to program this module?
No. We handle all the programming for you. After you place your order, you will need to provide us with your vehicle’s VIN. We use that to flash the module with the correct GM software and vehicle-specific information before it ships.
Is this part difficult to install?
Physically, the installation is straightforward for anyone with basic mechanical skills. It typically involves disconnecting the battery, unplugging the electrical connectors from the old PCM, unbolting it, and then installing the new one in reverse order. The most important post-installation step is the security relearn procedure, which can be done without any special tools.
What is the security relearn procedure?
This is a simple procedure that syncs your vehicle’s keys with the new PCM. It usually involves turning the key to the ‘ON’ position for 10 minutes, then ‘OFF’ for 10 seconds, and repeating this cycle three times. We include instructions to make this process easy.
Will this fix my specific check engine light codes?
This 12200411 PCM is the correct fix for codes related to internal module failure, processor errors, or communication faults (U-codes). If your codes point to a specific failed sensor (like an O2 sensor or MAP sensor), you should diagnose that component first. However, a faulty PCM can often cause false sensor codes, so replacing a bad module can resolve those issues as well.
Where do I find my VIN?
Your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) can be found on your vehicle’s registration, your insurance card, or on a plate on the driver’s side of the dashboard visible through the windshield.
