Restore Peak Performance to Your GM Truck or SUV
Is your truck running rough, shifting erratically, or displaying a persistent Check Engine Light? A faulty Powertrain Control Module (PCM) is often the culprit, acting as the brain of your vehicle’s engine and transmission. This replacement PCM is the definitive solution to restore the power, reliability, and smooth operation you depend on. We take the guesswork out of the repair by programming the module to your vehicle’s specific VIN before it ships, ensuring a seamless integration and getting you back on the road faster.
Common Symptoms & Your Solution
If you’re experiencing any of the following issues, a failing computer is the likely cause. This pre-programmed module is designed to be the direct fix for these frustrating problems:
- Persistent Check Engine Light (CEL)

For any 2003-2006 Suburban 2500 PCM replacement, this is the most effective way to resolve complex electronic issues and ensure your truck runs as the engineers intended.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to do anything after I place my order?
Yes. After you complete your purchase, you must provide us with your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN. We cannot program and ship your module without it. This ensures the PCM is correctly calibrated for your vehicle’s specific engine, transmission, and options.
Is this a plug-and-play installation?
This module comes programmed to your VIN, which handles the main software. However, on most GM vehicles of this era, you will need to perform a security relearn procedure (often called Passlock or VATS) after installation so the module will recognize your keys. This procedure can typically be done without special tools and instructions can be found online or in a service manual.
How can I be sure this fits my vehicle?
The best method is to check the service number on your original PCM. This part replaces several numbers, including 12582605, 89017750, 12589463, and others listed. You can also use the compatibility chart on this page and confirm your vehicle’s year, make, model, and engine size. Providing your VIN for programming is the final check to guarantee a perfect match.
What is the difference between a PCM, ECM, and ECU?
ECU (Electronic Control Unit) is a generic term for any vehicle computer. ECM (Engine Control Module) specifically controls engine functions. A PCM (Powertrain Control Module), like this unit, is more integrated and controls both the engine and the automatic transmission functions, which is standard on the 2003-2006 Suburban 2500 PCM and related GM models.
Will this fix my check engine light?
If the check engine light is caused by an internal failure of the original PCM (common codes like P0601-P0606), then yes, this part is the correct solution. However, it’s always essential to properly diagnose the codes first, as the light could be on for other reasons, such as a faulty sensor or wiring issue.
