Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to have this programmed by a dealer or mechanic?
No. This module arrives fully programmed to your vehicle’s VIN number. It is ready for a plug-and-play installation. In some cases, a security or CASE relearn procedure may be required, which can be performed by most qualified technicians.
How do I provide my VIN number?
After you complete your purchase, you will receive instructions on how to send us your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN. We cannot ship your part until we have this information to program it correctly.
Is this part difficult to install?
For the GMC Envoy XL, the PCM is typically located on the driver’s side of the engine compartment. Installation involves disconnecting the battery, unplugging the electrical connectors, and removing a few mounting bolts. It is a straightforward job for someone with basic mechanical skills.
What if my original part number isn’t on your list?
The part numbers listed are the most common, but there are many compatible numbers. As long as your vehicle is a 2006 GMC Envoy XL with the 4.2L engine, this module will be the correct one once programmed to your VIN. If you have any doubts, please contact us with your VIN before ordering.
Will this fix my check engine light?
This module will resolve any diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) caused by a failing PCM. However, if your check engine light is on due to other issues (like a bad oxygen sensor or catalytic converter), those problems will still need to be addressed separately. Proper diagnosis is always recommended.
