Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to do any programming myself?
No. This PCM arrives pre-programmed to the VIN you provide. The only step you may need to perform is a simple security relearn procedure, which can be done without any special tools. We include easy-to-follow instructions.
How do I provide my VIN number?
You can add your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN in the notes section during checkout. If you forget, we will contact you via email after your purchase to request it before we program and ship your module.
What if my original part number is different from 12589463?
This module is a direct replacement for several service numbers, including 89017750, 12582605, 12602802, and others listed in the compatibility chart. As long as your vehicle is on the fitment list, this is the correct part.
Will this fix my transmission shifting problems?
In many cases, yes. The PCM controls both engine and transmission functions. If your shifting issues are caused by faulty electronic signals from the computer, this new 2003 Isuzu Ascender PCM 12589463 will correct them. It will not fix internal mechanical failures in the transmission.
Is this a guaranteed fix for my vehicle’s problems?
This PCM is a guaranteed fix for problems directly caused by a failing computer, such as internal processor faults (P0601) or communication errors. It’s essential to properly diagnose your vehicle, as other issues like bad sensors or wiring can cause similar symptoms.
