Restore Peak Performance to Your GM Truck or Van
Is your truck stalling, running rough, or refusing to start? A faulty Powertrain Control Module (PCM) can bring your work to a grinding halt, leaving you with a vehicle you can’t depend on. Random check engine lights, poor fuel economy, and shifting problems are more than just an annoyance—they’re a sign that your truck’s brain is failing. This pre-programmed PCM is the definitive solution to get your vehicle back on the road and running like it should, without an expensive trip to the dealership.

- Unexpected stalling or shutting off while driving
- Complete no-start condition
- Check Engine Light with communication error codes (like P0601, P0605, P0606)
- Harsh or erratic automatic transmission shifting
- Noticeable drop in fuel efficiency
- Engine misfires or rough idling

An Expert’s Note on Diagnostics
“Over my 20 years under the hood, I’ve seen countless truck owners waste hundreds of dollars replacing perfectly good sensors. A failing PCM can send false signals, making you think you have a bad O2 sensor or a faulty throttle position sensor. The real issue is the computer itself. Before you start throwing parts at the problem, consider the source. A module with internal communication faults (like a P0601 code) is a definitive sign that the computer is the root cause. This pre-programmed unit solves the problem at its core.”
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to get this module programmed by a dealer?
No. The main benefit of our service is that we program the module for you before it ships. Simply provide us with your vehicle’s VIN during or after checkout, and it will arrive ready to be installed.
What’s the difference between a PCM, ECM, and ECU?
These terms are often used interchangeably. ECM (Engine Control Module) and ECU (Engine Control Unit) typically refer to a computer that only manages the engine. A PCM (Powertrain Control Module) manages both the engine and the transmission, which is standard on most modern vehicles like your Sierra. For this application, it is a PCM.
Where is the PCM located on my 2006 Sierra 1500?
On most GM trucks from this era, including the Sierra and Silverado, the PCM is located in the engine bay on the driver’s side, typically under or next to the battery in a black plastic housing.
Will I need to perform a security or CASE relearn procedure?
In many cases, the vehicle will start and run without any additional steps. However, some GM vehicles may require a simple security relearn procedure, which involves cycling the key and can be done without special tools. A Crankshaft Variation (CASE) relearn may be needed to clear a related trouble code, which requires a scan tool, but the truck will still be fully drivable without it.
Why is this the right choice for my 2005-2007 Sierra 1500 PCM 12602801?
This module provides a reliable and efficient fix. By pre-programming the unit to your VIN, we eliminate the most complex and costly step of the repair process, allowing for a straightforward installation that restores your truck’s dependability.
What information do you need from me?
After you place your order, we will need the 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) from your truck. This is usually found on the driver’s side dashboard (visible through the windshield) or on the door jamb sticker.
