Restore Your Blazer’s Performance & Reliability
Is your 2003 Chevy S10 Blazer or GMC S15 Jimmy acting up? If you’re dealing with a persistent check engine light, rough idling, stalling, or other frustrating electronic issues, a failing Powertrain Control Module (PCM) is often the culprit. This isn’t just a replacement part; it’s the definitive solution to get your trusty SUV back on the road, running exactly as it should. We provide a professionally programmed PCM, flashed with the latest GM software updates and matched specifically to your vehicle’s VIN, eliminating the guesswork and the need for an expensive trip to the dealership.
Common Symptoms & Your Solution
A faulty PCM can cause a cascade of confusing problems that are often misdiagnosed. If you’re experiencing any of the following, this module is the solution you’ve been looking for:
- Persistent Check Engine Light (CEL) with communication-related Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) like P0601, P0602, or P0606.
- Engine Stalling or Misfiring for no apparent reason, creating unsafe driving conditions.
- No-Start or Hard-Start Conditions where the engine cranks but won’t fire up.
- Poor Fuel Economy and a noticeable drop in engine performance.
- Erratic Transmission Shifting or failure to shift into certain gears.
This programmed 2003 Blazer S10 PCM is the central command unit for your engine and transmission. By replacing your old, failing module with this VIN-matched unit, you restore the critical communication pathways that control fuel delivery, spark timing, and transmission operation, bringing your vehicle’s performance and dependability back to factory standards.

Expert Insight: The Importance of VIN Programming
As a technician, I’ve seen countless vehicle owners buy a used computer from a junkyard, only to find it causes more problems than it solves. A module from a different vehicleโeven the same year and modelโcan have different software for the transmission, emissions equipment, or security system. Our VIN programming process isn’t just a convenience; it’s a critical step. We ensure the software loaded onto your programmed 2003 Blazer S10 PCM is an exact match for the one your truck was built with, preventing frustrating compatibility issues and getting the repair done right the first time.
Frequently Asked Questions
What information do you need from me?
After you place your order, we simply need you to provide us with your vehicle’s 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). This allows us to flash the module with the precise software and calibrations for your truck.
Will I need to do anything after I install it?
In many cases, the module is plug-and-play. However, some GM vehicles of this era may require a simple security relearn procedure (often called a CASE relearn or Passlock relearn) which can typically be done without special tools. Instructions are readily available online for this process.
Is this a used part?
This is a high-quality, inspected, and tested module that has been professionally prepared for your vehicle. Each unit is programmed and verified to ensure it meets strict performance standards before being shipped.
My original part number isn’t 12581565, will this still work?
Yes. Part number 12581565 is a service number that supersedes many earlier part numbers like 12570557, 12576106, and 89017733. As long as your vehicle is listed in the compatibility chart, this module is the correct, updated replacement, and we will program it to function perfectly.
What if my truck has modifications?
This PCM is programmed with the original factory GM calibration. It is not designed to account for significant aftermarket modifications like forced induction, non-stock injectors, or internal engine changes. It is intended for vehicles with stock or near-stock configurations.
