Restore Peak Performance to Your GM Truck or SUV
Is your 2004 GMC Envoy XUV suffering from frustrating and unpredictable issues? A rough idle, poor fuel economy, hesitation, or a persistent Check Engine Light can turn a reliable vehicle into a source of daily stress. The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) is the central command center for your engine and transmission. When it fails, it can cause a cascade of problems that are difficult to diagnose. This isn’t just an inconvenience; it’s a matter of reliability and safety. Get back the confidence of a vehicle that starts every time and runs like it should.
Is a Failing PCM Holding Your Vehicle Hostage?
A faulty engine computer can manifest in numerous ways, often mimicking other sensor or component failures. Before you spend hundreds on parts you don’t need, see if your vehicle is exhibiting these common warning signs. This professionally prepared 2004 Envoy XUV PCM is the definitive solution to these electronic headaches.
- ✔ Check Engine Light: Illuminates with critical diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) like P0601, P0602, P0606, or U-series communication codes.
- ✔ Engine Performance Problems: You may experience stalling, misfires, a rough or surging idle, and a noticeable loss of power.
- ✔ Transmission Issues: Harsh or erratic shifting, or the transmission getting stuck in one gear (limp mode).
- ✔ No-Start Condition: The engine cranks but refuses to start, often due to a lack of fuel injector or ignition coil command from the PCM.
- ✔ Poor Fuel Economy: The engine is no longer running efficiently, causing a significant drop in your MPG.
A Technician’s Tip: Check Your Grounds First
Before replacing any module, I always perform a voltage drop test on the main battery and engine grounds. A corroded or loose ground connection can starve the PCM of the stable voltage it needs, causing symptoms that look exactly like a failed computer. A few minutes with a multimeter can save you time and confirm your diagnosis. A clean, tight connection is the foundation of a healthy electrical system.
Effortless Installation for a Confident Fix
We make this repair as straightforward as possible. Your new PCM arrives programmed with the latest GM software updates, tailored specifically to your vehicle’s VIN. This eliminates the need for expensive dealership programming or special tools. Just follow these simple steps to get back on the road.
- Safety First: Disconnect the negative terminal from your vehicle’s battery to prevent any electrical shorts.
- Locate the Old PCM: On most compatible vehicles like the Envoy, Trailblazer, and Rainier, the PCM is located in the engine bay, next to the air filter box. On trucks like the Sierra and Silverado, it’s typically found under the battery on the driver’s side.
- Disconnect and Remove: Carefully unplug the wiring harness connectors. They have locking tabs that need to be released. Then, unbolt the module from its mounting bracket.
- Install the New Module: Seat your new, pre-programmed PCM into the bracket and tighten the mounting bolts. Reconnect the wiring harnesses, ensuring they click securely into place.
- Reconnect Power: Reattach the negative battery terminal. The vehicle may need to complete an idle relearn procedure, which usually involves letting it run for a few minutes. That’s it—you’re ready for a test drive!

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to have this computer programmed by a dealer?
No. We handle all the programming for you before shipment. We use your vehicle’s VIN to load the correct, updated software from GM, making this a true plug-and-play solution.
How do I provide my VIN?
After you complete your purchase, simply send us a message with your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). We cannot ship your part until we receive this information.
Will this fix my transmission shifting problems?
In many cases, yes. The PCM controls both the engine and the transmission. If the module is faulty, it can cause erratic shifting, delayed engagement, or force the transmission into ‘limp mode’. This part often resolves those issues.
What if my original part number isn’t on the list?
Please contact us with your VIN and the service number from your original module. We can verify compatibility and ensure you receive the correct part for your specific vehicle.
Is any other setup required after installation?
In some vehicles, a security relearn or crankshaft position sensor relearn may be necessary. This can typically be done without special tools. Instructions are widely available, or you can contact our support for guidance.
