We provide the definitive, hassle-free solution: a replacement PCM, professionally programmed with the latest GM software updates specifically for your vehicle’s VIN.

Common H3 Failure Symptoms & Your Direct-Fit Solution
A faulty PCM can manifest in numerous ways, often mimicking other component failures. If you’re experiencing any of the following, a failing engine computer is the likely culprit:
- No-Start Condition: The engine cranks but will not start, or starts and immediately stalls.
- Erratic Engine Behavior: Unexplained stalling, rough idling, hesitation, or poor fuel economy.
- Check Engine Light (CEL): Persistent CEL with communication error codes or internal module failure codes like P0601 or P0606.
- Transmission Issues: Harsh or incorrect shifting, as the PCM plays a crucial role in transmission control.
- No Communication: Your scan tool is unable to communicate with the PCM.
This module is the direct-fit, reliable fix for these issues. By ordering our pre-programmed 2006 Hummer H3 PCM 12597777, you are bypassing expensive dealership programming fees and complex diagnostic headaches. We handle the programming, so you can handle the installation.

Expert Technician’s Note
Before condemning your PCM, always perform a full battery and charging system test. The complex electronics in a vehicle like the H3 are highly sensitive to voltage. A weak battery or poor ground connection can often mimic the symptoms of a failing computer. Always ensure your battery terminals and the main engine/chassis grounds are clean, tight, and free of corrosion. This simple 10-minute check can save you time and ensure you’re replacing the right part the first time.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to do any programming myself?
No. We program the 2006 Hummer H3 PCM 12597777 to the VIN you provide before shipping. The only step you’ll need to perform is a simple security relearn procedure, which can be done at home without any special tools. We include instructions for this process.
What is the security relearn procedure?
It’s a simple process that syncs the new PCM with your vehicle’s anti-theft system. It typically involves turning the key to the ‘ON’ position for 10 minutes, then off, and repeating this cycle three times. This allows the components to recognize each other.
Where is the PCM located on my 2006 Hummer H3?
On the 2006 Hummer H3, the Electronic Control Module (PCM) is located on the right-hand (passenger) side of the firewall in the engine bay.
How do I provide my vehicle’s VIN?
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 receive this information, as the programming is essential for the part to function.
Will this fix my transmission shifting problems?
The PCM controls both the engine and the transmission. If your shifting issues are caused by a faulty computer, this replacement module will solve the problem. However, mechanical issues within the transmission itself would require a different repair.
What if my original part number isn’t on your list?
The part numbers listed are the most common, but there can be others. If your part number is not listed, please contact us with your VIN and original part number. We will be happy to verify compatibility for you.
