Expert Insight from the Shop Floor: We recently worked on a 2006 Trailblazer—a cousin to your Envoy—that had a bizarre ‘no-crank’ issue only when the engine was warm. The owner had already replaced the starter and battery with no success. The problem was an internal thermal failure in the original PCM. A properly programmed 2006 GMC Envoy XL PCM like this one solved the problem in under an hour. Don’t chase electrical ghosts; often, the most direct solution is replacing the engine’s brain.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to have this programmed by a dealer?
No. We program the module to your vehicle’s specific VIN before we ship it. This means it is ready for installation upon arrival, saving you a trip to the dealership and their associated programming fees.
What information do you need from me?
After you place your order, we will require your vehicle’s 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). This is essential for us to load the correct, vehicle-specific software and calibrations onto the module.
Is this part difficult to install?
For the 2006 Envoy, the PCM is located in the engine bay on the driver’s side. It is held in by a few bolts and has several large electrical connectors. For someone with basic mechanical skills and tools, it is a straightforward replacement. Always remember to disconnect the vehicle’s battery before starting work.
Will this fix my check engine light?
If your check engine light is on due to an internal fault within the PCM (common codes include P0601, P0602, P0606), then this part is the correct solution. However, we always recommend having the vehicle properly diagnosed to confirm the PCM is the point of failure before ordering.
What about my vehicle’s anti-theft system (Passlock/VATS)?
For many GM vehicles of this era, a security relearn procedure is necessary after installation for the vehicle to start. This is a simple process that does not require special tools and typically involves cycling the ignition key. We can provide easy-to-follow instructions for this procedure.
