Restore Peak Performance to Your GM Vehicle
Is your Chevrolet Uplander, Pontiac G6, or Buick Rendezvous suffering from frustrating and unpredictable issues? A flashing check engine light, rough idling, poor fuel economy, or even a no-start condition can often be traced back to a failing Powertrain Control Module (PCM). This isn’t just an inconvenience; it’s a matter of reliability for the vehicle you depend on. This replacement PCM is the definitive, hassle-free solution to get your vehicle running smoothly and efficiently again.
Common Symptoms & Your Solution
A faulty PCM can cause a wide range of problems that can be difficult to diagnose. If you’re experiencing any of the following, a failing module is the likely culprit:
- Persistent Check Engine Light (CEL) with codes like P0601, P0602, P0606, or U-series communication codes.
- Engine Stalling or Misfiring: Unpredictable engine behavior that makes driving stressful.
- Poor Fuel Economy: The engine isn’t receiving the correct data, leading to inefficient performance and more trips to the gas station.
- Failed Emissions Test: An improperly functioning PCM cannot manage your vehicle’s emissions systems correctly.
- No-Start or Hard-Start Conditions: The vehicle cranks but refuses to start, or takes an unusually long time to turn over.
This module is a direct-fit replacement, specifically programmed to your vehicle’s unique Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). This critical step ensures that all systems—from the engine and transmission to the anti-theft system—communicate perfectly, just as the factory intended. By installing our pre-programmed 2006 Chevy Uplander PCM 12600928, you are not just replacing a part; you are restoring your vehicle’s central nervous system.

An Expert’s Note on VIN Programming
“Many people are tempted to grab a used computer from a salvage yard, thinking it’s a cheap fix. What they don’t realize is that a PCM is not a one-size-fits-all part. It’s programmed with specific data for the original vehicle’s engine, transmission, and even optional features like cruise control. Installing an unprogrammed or incorrectly programmed module can lead to a vehicle that won’t start, shifts harshly, or has persistent warning lights. Our process of programming the 2006 Chevy Uplander PCM 12600928 to your specific VIN is what makes this a true, reliable solution. We take the guesswork and dealer-level complexity out of the repair, so you can get back on the road with confidence.”
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to do any programming myself?
No. This module is completely plug-and-play. We handle all the programming before it ships. In some cases, a simple security relearn procedure (often just a key cycle) may be needed, and we can provide easy-to-follow instructions for that.
Where do I provide my vehicle’s VIN?
After you complete your purchase, we will send you a message requesting your 17-digit VIN. We cannot ship your part until we have this information to program the module correctly.
Will this fix my check engine light?
This module is guaranteed to fix issues directly caused by a faulty PCM, including internal processor error codes (like P0601). However, you must ensure your vehicle has been properly diagnosed. This part will not fix problems caused by other faulty sensors or mechanical issues.
Is this a brand new part?
This is a high-quality, fully tested OEM replacement component that has been meticulously inspected and programmed to ensure it meets or exceeds original factory specifications for performance and reliability.
What is the difference between a PCM, ECM, and ECU?
These acronyms are often used interchangeably. PCM (Powertrain Control Module) typically controls both the engine and transmission. ECM (Engine Control Module) and ECU (Electronic Control Unit) usually refer to a module that controls only the engine. For your specific vehicle, this unit serves as the central computer.
How do I find my part number?
You can find the service number printed on the label of your original computer. This unit is a direct replacement for service number 12600928 or 19210070. Even if your number differs, as long as your vehicle make, model, and year are listed, we can program this module to work for you.
