Is Your 2003 GMC Envoy XL Running Rough?
If you’re dealing with a persistent Check Engine Light, erratic shifting, poor fuel economy, or even a no-start condition, the problem often points directly to a failing Powertrain Control Module (PCM). As the brain of your Envoy XL, when the PCM starts to fail, it can create a host of frustrating and difficult-to-diagnose issues. In my 20+ years in the shop, I’ve seen these exact symptoms on countless GM trucks and SUVs, and a faulty PCM is one of the most common culprits.
Expert Pro Tip: Check Your Connectors First
Before you install your new PCM, take a moment to inspect the harness connectors. Look for any green or white crusty corrosion on the pins or inside the connector housing. I’ve seen cases where a perfectly good replacement module fails to work simply because of a poor connection. Use a small pick and some electrical contact cleaner to gently clean any corrosion. A clean connection is critical for the PCM to communicate properly with all the vehicle’s sensors and actuators.

Plug-and-Play Installation: No Dealer Visit Required
Installing your new PCM is straightforward. On the 2003 Envoy XL, the module is typically located in the engine bay, right next to the air filter box. Follow these simple steps to get back on the road.
- Safety First: Always disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery before starting any electrical work.
- Locate the PCM: Open the hood and find the PCM next to the air box on the driver’s side.
- Disconnect the Harnesses: Carefully release the locking tabs on the electrical connectors and pull them straight out from the module. Avoid pulling on the wires themselves.
- Remove the Old Module: Unbolt the mounting brackets holding the old PCM in place and remove it from the vehicle.
- Install the New PCM: Mount your new, pre-programmed module in the same location, securing it with the original hardware.
- Reconnect Everything: Firmly plug the electrical harnesses back into the new PCM until they click into place. Reconnect your negative battery terminal.
