Get Your GM Truck Back on the Road, Fast.
Is your Silverado, Sierra, or Savana suffering from frustrating issues like a persistent check engine light, erratic shifting, poor fuel economy, or even a no-start condition? A failing Powertrain Control Module (PCM) is often the culprit, acting as the brain of your vehicle’s engine and transmission. This replacement PCM is the definitive, hassle-free solution to restore the performance and reliability you depend on. We professionally program this module to your vehicle’s specific VIN, ensuring it arrives ready for a straightforward installation, getting your workhorse back in service without a costly trip to the dealership.
Common Symptoms & Your Solution
If you’re experiencing any of the following, a faulty PCM is the likely cause. This pre-programmed module is designed to resolve these exact problems:
- Check Engine Light (CEL): Particularly for communication error codes or internal module failure codes like P0601, P0602, P0606.
- Poor Drivability: Includes rough idling, engine stumbling, hesitation during acceleration, and a noticeable loss of power.
- Transmission Problems: Harsh or delayed shifting, or the transmission getting stuck in one gear (limp mode).
- No-Start Condition: The engine cranks but won’t start due to a lack of fuel injector or ignition coil signals from the PCM.
- Failed Emissions Test: An improperly functioning PCM can’t manage the engine’s emissions systems correctly.
By installing our expertly programmed 2005-2007 Silverado 2500 PCM, you are directly addressing the root cause of these issues and restoring your vehicle’s factory-spec operation.

An Expert’s Take on Proper Programming
As a technician, I’ve seen countless vehicles, especially the heavy-duty trucks with the 8.1L V8, come in with drivability problems that were traced back to a failing computer. Simply swapping a used module from a junkyard is a recipe for disaster. The fuel maps, transmission shift points, and emissions parameters are incredibly specific. Our VIN-based programming service isn’t just a convenience; it’s a critical step to ensure your engine and transmission operate exactly as the engineers intended, protecting your investment and ensuring peak performance, especially when towing or hauling heavy loads.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this a simple plug-and-play installation?
Yes, this module comes programmed to your VIN and is ready to be installed. However, on most GM vehicles of this era, you will need to perform a security relearn procedure (also known as a CASE relearn or Passlock relearn) after installation. This is a simple process that can be done without special tools and typically takes 10-30 minutes. Instructions are readily available online or in your vehicle’s service manual.
How do I provide my Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)?
After you complete your purchase, you will need to send us your 17-digit VIN. You can typically add it as a note during checkout or send it to us in a message referencing your order number. We cannot ship your part until we receive your VIN.
Where is the PCM located on my truck?
On most Silverado, Sierra, Suburban, and Avalanche models from this period, the PCM is located in the engine bay on the driver’s side, under or near the battery tray. On Express and Savana vans, it is typically found in the rear of the driver’s side engine compartment.
My original part number is 12589462. Will this part work?
Yes. This module, 12602801, is a fully compatible and often updated replacement for part numbers 12589462 and 89017749. As long as your vehicle is on the compatibility list, we will program it to function perfectly.
Will this fix my check engine light?
If the check engine light is caused by an internal failure of the PCM (common codes include P0601-P0606), then this part is the correct fix. It is always recommended to have your vehicle properly diagnosed to confirm the PCM is the point of failure before ordering.
