Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to have this programmed by a dealer?
No. We handle the programming for you. Simply provide us with your vehicle’s VIN during checkout, and we will flash the module with the correct software before we ship it. It will arrive ready to be installed.
What information do you need from me?
All we need is your vehicle’s 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). This allows us to program the PCM with the exact software and calibrations for your specific truck or van.
Is this a difficult part to install?
For most of these GM vehicles, the PCM is readily accessible in the engine bay. Installation is typically straightforward, involving disconnecting the battery, unplugging the old module’s electrical connectors, and swapping the unit. In many cases, a simple security relearn procedure (instructions can be easily found online) may be required after installation.
Will this fix my check engine light?
If your check engine light is on due to an internal fault with the PCM (such as code P0601), this part is the correct solution. After installing the new module, it is essential to clear all diagnostic trouble codes with a scan tool to allow the system to reset.
How do I know my PCM is the actual problem?
While a professional diagnosis is always best, classic signs of PCM failure include: the vehicle won’t start but has power, communication error codes from a scan tool, multiple unrelated error codes appearing at once, and erratic engine or transmission behavior that can’t be traced to a specific sensor or mechanical part.
Is this the correct part for my vehicle?
This 2003 Savana 3500 PCM 12570558 is compatible with a wide range of 2003-2004 GM trucks, vans, and SUVs. Please review the detailed fitment list on this page and confirm your original module has a matching service number to ensure compatibility.
