An Expert’s Note on Diagnostics
“Over my 20 years in diagnostics, I’ve seen countless vehicle owners spend a fortune replacing perfectly good sensors, fuel pumps, and even transmissions, only to find the root cause was a faulty PCM all along. The module controls everything, and when it sends incorrect signals, it can mimic dozens of other mechanical failures. This is especially true for internal processor faults (P06xx codes). Investing in a correctly programmed PCM isn’t just replacing a part; it’s restoring the vehicle’s central nervous system and often the first, most logical step to a lasting repair.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to do any programming myself?
Absolutely not. This PCM arrives at your doorstep fully programmed to your vehicle’s exact VIN. The process is designed to be plug-and-play. You will simply need to install it, and in some cases, a security relearn procedure may be necessary, which is a simple process you can do yourself.
How do I provide my VIN?
After you complete your purchase, you will need to send us your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN (Vehicle Identification Number). We will provide clear instructions on how to submit it. We cannot ship your part until we receive the VIN, as the programming is specific to your car.
Will this fit my Pontiac Pursuit or Chevy HHR?
Yes, this module is compatible with the 2005-2006 Pontiac Pursuit and the 2006 Chevrolet HHR (2.2L) as specified in the fitment guide. The internal software will be correctly configured for your specific make and model based on the VIN you provide.
What if my original part number is different from 12599714?
That’s very common. Manufacturers like GM often release updated parts that supersede older service numbers. This module is the correct, updated replacement for several numbers, including 12589998, 12597329, and 12600882. As long as your vehicle is listed in the compatibility chart, this is the right part for you.
What does ‘flashed with the newest updates’ actually mean?
Over the life of a vehicle, manufacturers often identify small bugs or inefficiencies in the original software. They release software updates to fix these issues, which can improve things like transmission shifting, fuel efficiency, and idle stability. We ensure your module has the latest, most refined software available from GM.
Will this fix my specific check engine light code?
This PCM is the direct cure for any internal module fault codes, such as P0601 through P0606. If you have other codes (e.g., for an oxygen sensor or EVAP system), you should diagnose those issues separately. However, a faulty PCM can sometimes cause other false codes, which a new module may resolve.
