Is Your Envoy XL Running Rough, Stalling, or Refusing to Start?
There’s nothing more frustrating than an unreliable vehicle. If your GMC Envoy, Trailblazer, or other GM SUV is suffering from baffling electrical issues, a persistent Check Engine light, or unpredictable performance, the root cause is often a failing Powertrain Control Module (PCM). This isn’t just an inconvenience; it’s a critical failure that compromises your vehicle’s reliability and safety. This replacement module is the definitive solution to restore your SUV’s performance and give you back the confidence you need on the road.
Common Symptoms of a Failing PCM & Your Solution
A faulty engine computer can manifest in numerous ways, often mimicking other component failures. If you’re experiencing any of the following, it’s a strong indicator that your PCM needs replacement:
- Persistent Check Engine Light with communication error codes (e.g., P0601, P0605, P0606) or false sensor codes.
- Engine Stalling or Misfiring for no apparent reason, especially after warming up.
- No-Start Condition where the engine cranks but won’t turn over.
- Harsh or Erratic Transmission Shifting as the PCM struggles to communicate with the transmission module.
- Poor Fuel Economy and a noticeable drop in engine power.
This module is the direct-fit, professionally programmed solution. We take your vehicle’s unique VIN and flash this computer with the latest, most stable GM software updates. This ensures it communicates perfectly with all other systems in your vehicle, effectively erasing the frustrating issues caused by your old, failing unit.

An Expert’s Note on GM Security Systems
From my 20+ years under the hood, I can tell you that one of the biggest headaches with these mid-2000s GM vehicles is the Passlock II security system. When you install a new computer, the vehicle won’t start until the security system ‘relearns’ the new module. Many people think the part is defective. It’s not! The process is simple and requires no special tools—just your ignition key. After installing your new 2003-2005 Envoy XL PCM, you’ll perform a 10-minute key-on/key-off procedure. We include simple instructions, and this step is what ensures your vehicle remains secure while accepting its new ‘brain’. It’s a crucial step that, when done correctly, guarantees a smooth and successful repair.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the security relearn procedure?
The security relearn, or Passlock relearn, is a simple procedure required after installation. You will turn the key to the ‘ON’ position for 10 minutes, then ‘OFF’ for 10 seconds. You repeat this cycle three times. On the third cycle, the vehicle will start. We provide clear, easy-to-follow instructions with your order.
How do I provide my VIN?
After you complete your purchase, you will need to send us your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). You can typically find this on your driver’s side dashboard (visible through the windshield) or on your vehicle’s registration or insurance card. This is essential for us to program the 2003-2005 Envoy XL PCM correctly.
Is this part difficult to install?
No, the physical installation is straightforward for a DIYer with basic tools. The PCM is located in the engine bay on the driver’s side. The main steps are to disconnect the battery, unplug the electrical connectors from the old module, unbolt it, and then install the new one in the reverse order. The most important part is performing the security relearn after installation.
Will this fix my specific Check Engine Light code?
This module is the direct solution for internal processor failure codes (like P0601 through P0606) and communication errors. If your codes are related to specific sensors (like an oxygen sensor or MAP sensor), you should diagnose those components first. However, a failing PCM can often cause false sensor codes, so replacing a known-bad module often resolves a list of other issues.
My original part number isn’t 19210065, will this still work?
Yes. This module is compatible with a range of part numbers, including 12573576, 12574976, 12577955, 12584593, and 16255757. As long as your vehicle make, model, and year are on our compatibility list, this unit will function correctly once programmed to your VIN.
