Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to have this programmed by a dealer?
No. The main benefit of our service is that we program the 2003 S10 PCM 12570558 to the VIN you provide before we ship it. This saves you a trip to the dealership and the high cost of their programming services.
Is this part difficult to install?
For most DIYers with basic tools, this is a straightforward installation. The module is typically located in the engine bay and is held in by a few bolts. The most important steps are disconnecting the battery first and ensuring the connectors are seated firmly upon reinstallation.
Will I need to perform any other procedures after installation?
In many GM vehicles of this era, you may need to perform a security relearn procedure (often called a Passlock or VATS relearn). This is a simple process that involves turning the key in a specific sequence and does not require special tools. This syncs the new PCM with your vehicle’s anti-theft system.
How do I provide my VIN?
After you complete your purchase, you will need to send us your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). We cannot program and ship the module without it. You can typically find your VIN on your driver’s side door jamb sticker or on the dashboard viewable through the windshield.
Will this fix my specific problem?
This PCM is the direct solution for issues originating from a faulty engine computer, including many common check engine light codes, stalling, and no-start problems. While it fixes a wide range of issues, it’s always best to have a proper diagnosis to confirm the PCM is the point of failure. This part is the correct solution when the computer itself is the problem.
