An Expert’s Note on the GM Passlock System
“I’ve seen countless Trailblazer and Envoy owners get stuck after installing a new computer because the engine won’t stay running. This is almost always due to the Passlock security system. Unlike older keys with chips, this system is tied to the ignition cylinder and the PCM. When you install this new module, your truck’s Body Control Module (BCM) won’t recognize it yet. You’ll need to perform a simple ‘Security Relearn Procedure’ which takes about 30 minutes and requires no special tools—just your key. It involves a few cycles of turning the key to ‘ON’ for 10 minutes at a time. This simple step syncs the new PCM to your vehicle, saving you a tow to the shop and giving you the satisfaction of completing the job yourself.”
Don’t let a bad computer keep your trusty GM truck off the road. By providing us with your VIN at checkout, you’ll receive a fully prepared Programmed 2003-2005 Trailblazer PCM that is ready to solve your problems and restore your peace of mind. It’s the smart, reliable fix for the heart of your vehicle’s electronics.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this part truly ‘plug and play’?
Yes, for the most part. It arrives programmed to your VIN, so no dealer flashing is needed. However, you will need to perform a 30-minute Security Relearn Procedure using your key so the module can sync with your vehicle’s anti-theft system. This procedure is simple and does not require any special tools.
Where do I provide my VIN?
After you complete your purchase, you will receive instructions on how to send us your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN. We cannot ship your part until we have this information, as the programming is specific to your truck.
Will this fix my transmission shifting problems?
In many cases, yes. The PCM controls engine performance and transmission shift points. If your original PCM is failing, it can cause erratic shifting, delayed engagement, or harsh shifts. This new module, programmed with the latest GM software, often resolves these issues.
How do I know for sure that my PCM is the problem?
Common signs include a no-start condition where the engine cranks but won’t fire, multiple unrelated error codes (especially communication codes), and stalling. While these are strong indicators, we always recommend having a qualified mechanic diagnose the issue to confirm the PCM is the point of failure before ordering.
What if my original part number isn’t on your list?
The part numbers listed are the most common, but GM often has many interchangeable numbers. If your part number is different, please contact us with your VIN and original part number. We will verify compatibility for you.
Does this computer come with a warranty?
Absolutely. This part is backed by our standard warranty against any defects in the module or programming. You can purchase with confidence knowing you are protected.
