Restore Peak Performance and Reliability to Your GM Truck or Van
Is your truck or van suffering from frustrating issues like a persistent check engine light, poor fuel economy, erratic shifting, or even a no-start condition? These are classic signs of a failing Powertrain Control Module (PCM), the electronic brain of your vehicle. Don’t let a faulty computer keep you off the road or job site. This direct-replacement PCM is the definitive solution, arriving fully programmed to your vehicle’s specific VIN with the latest GM software updates, ensuring a seamless and effective repair.
Common Symptoms & Your Solution
A failing PCM can manifest in numerous ways, often triggering Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) and causing significant drivability problems. If you’re experiencing any of the following, this module is your answer:
- Check Engine Light (CEL) Illumination: Particularly for internal controller codes like P0601, P0602, P0605, or P0606.
- Poor Engine Performance: Noticeable loss of power, hesitation during acceleration, or rough idling.
- Reduced Fuel Economy: The engine is no longer operating at peak efficiency, leading to more frequent trips to the pump.
- Transmission Issues: Harsh or delayed shifting, as the PCM also controls transmission functions.
- Intermittent or Complete No-Start: The vehicle cranks but won’t start, or fails to start unpredictably.

We handle the complex programming, so you can focus on the straightforward installation.

Expert Insight: The Critical Role of VIN-Specific Programming
As a 20-year veteran technician, I can’t stress this enough: for modern vehicles, a generic, non-programmed computer is a recipe for disaster. Your vehicle’s VIN is linked to a unique combination of options, emissions standards, and software calibrations. Installing a module without the correct VIN-specific flash can lead to everything from a no-start condition to transmission damage. We take the guesswork out of the equation. By providing your VIN, you ensure the 2005-2007 Sierra 1500 PCM 12589462 you receive is not just a compatible part, but the correct part for your exact build, loaded with the most stable and up-to-date GM software.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the programming process work?
It’s simple. After you complete your purchase, you will need to provide us with your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN (Vehicle Identification Number). Our technicians will then use this VIN to load the latest, most precise GM software for your specific vehicle onto the module before it ships. It arrives at your door ready to be installed.
Will I need to do anything after installation?
In many cases, you may need to perform a security relearn procedure, also known as a CASE relearn or anti-theft relearn. This is a simple process that can typically be done without special tools and involves a sequence of key turns. Instructions are widely available online for your specific model, or your mechanic will be familiar with the procedure.
Is this a guaranteed fix for my vehicle’s problems?
This PCM will fix any issues directly caused by a faulty engine computer. However, it’s crucial to ensure your vehicle has been properly diagnosed. This module will not fix problems related to other bad sensors, wiring issues, or mechanical failures. A proper diagnosis is key to a successful repair.
Where is the VIN located on my vehicle?
You can find your VIN in several places: on a metal plate on the driver’s side dashboard (visible through the windshield), on the driver’s side door jamb sticker, and on your vehicle’s registration and insurance documents.
How do I know if this part number is correct for me?
This module is a direct replacement for part numbers 12589462, 12602801, and 89017749. The most reliable method is to check the part number on your existing module. However, our VIN programming process ensures that even if there are minor variations, the software will be correct for your truck or van.
