From the Shop Floor: We recently had a customer with a 2004 Sierra 1500 that had a baffling intermittent no-start condition. He had already replaced the battery, alternator, and crank sensor with no luck. The truck would run fine for days, then refuse to start for hours. After diagnosing a communication failure within the original computer, we installed one of these pre-programmed PCMs. The truck fired up on the first try and the problem was completely solved. This is a perfect example of how ordering a correctly programmed 2004 Isuzu Ascender PCM replacement saves you time, money, and the headache of chasing down electrical gremlins.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to have this computer programmed by a dealer?
No. The main benefit of our service is that we program the computer to your vehicle’s specific VIN before we ship it to you. This makes the installation process much simpler, as it arrives ready to be installed.
How do I provide you with my vehicle’s VIN?
After you complete your purchase, you will need to send us your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). We will provide clear instructions on how to do this. We cannot ship the part until we have programmed it with your VIN.
Is this a difficult part to install?
For someone with moderate mechanical experience, the installation is typically straightforward. The PCM is usually located in the engine bay (on many of these models, it’s next to the air box or under the battery). It involves disconnecting the battery, unplugging the electrical connectors, and unbolting the module. However, if you are not comfortable working on your vehicle, we always recommend professional installation.
Will this fix my specific problem or check engine light?
This module will correct any issues directly caused by a failing PCM. While it solves a wide range of common electronic, performance, and starting problems, it’s essential to ensure your vehicle has been properly diagnosed. This part will not fix issues caused by other faulty sensors or mechanical components.
What if my original part number is not on your list?
The part numbers listed cover the vast majority of applications for these vehicles. If you do not see your specific service number, please contact us with your VIN and original part number before ordering. We will be happy to verify compatibility for you.
What does the one-year replacement warranty cover?
The warranty covers the part itself. In the unlikely event the module fails within one year of purchase, we will provide a replacement unit. It covers defects in the part, not issues caused by improper installation or other vehicle faults.
