Is Your GM Truck Plagued by Mysterious Electrical Problems?
If your 2003-2007 Silverado, Sierra, or other GM truck is experiencing frustrating issues like a no-start condition, erratic transmission shifting, a check engine light that won’t go away, or multiple unrelated diagnostic trouble codes, the problem often points directly to a failing Powertrain Control Module (PCM). As the central computer for your engine and transmission, its health is critical to your vehicle’s performance and reliability.
I’ve been diagnosing these trucks for over two decades. A customer’s 2006 Sierra 3500 with the 6.0L came into my shop last month. It would crank but not start, and the fuel pump wasn’t priming. The owner had already replaced the pump and the crank sensor. After verifying power and ground at the PCM connectors were good, we found the PCM itself wasn’t sending the signal to the fuel pump relay. This is a classic internal failure I’ve seen hundreds of times. Swapping in a properly programmed PCM had the truck running perfectly in under 15 minutes.

You don’t need to be a master technician to replace your PCM. The process is straightforward and can be done with basic hand tools. Most are located in the engine bay on the driver’s side, under or near the battery.
- Safety First: Disconnect the negative battery terminal and wait a few minutes for the system to discharge.
- Locate the PCM: Find the module, typically a silver box with multiple large electrical connectors, on the driver’s side of the engine bay.
- Disconnect the Connectors: Carefully unlatch and remove the wiring harness connectors. Inspect them for any corrosion or bent pins.
- Swap the Module: Unbolt the old PCM and install the new one in its place.
- Reconnect Everything: Securely plug in the wiring harness connectors and reconnect your negative battery terminal.
- Security Relearn Procedure: After installation, you must perform the GM Security Relearn procedure. This simple process takes about 30 minutes and involves cycling the key. It does not require a scan tool.
Expert Pro Tip: Clean Your Connections
Before installing your new PCM, take a moment to spray the vehicle’s harness connectors with a quality electronics cleaner. Use a small, soft brush (like a toothbrush) to gently scrub away any dirt or surface corrosion on the pins. A clean, solid connection is vital for the longevity and proper function of your new module and can prevent a host of future issues.
Important: After purchasing, please send us your 17-digit VIN. We cannot ship your order until we have this information to program your module correctly. Get your truck running like new again with a reliable, professionally programmed PCM.
