It’s the smart, reliable fix that gets the job done right the first time, ensuring your workhorse is back on the road without delay.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the programming process work?
It’s simple. After you place your order, you’ll need to provide us with your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN. Our technicians will then use this VIN to flash the module with the exact software and calibrations your Isuzu I-280 requires from the factory. It will arrive ready to install.
Is this a difficult part to install?
For someone with basic mechanical skills, this is a very straightforward installation. The PCM is typically located in the engine bay on the firewall. It involves disconnecting the battery, unplugging the electrical connectors, unbolting the old unit, and installing the new one. Most installations take less than an hour.
Will I need to perform a CASE Relearn procedure?
In many cases, yes. After installing a new PCM on these GM-platform vehicles, a Crankshaft Variation (CASE) Relearn is often required to prevent a P1336 trouble code. This procedure can be done with a capable bi-directional scan tool. Many local repair shops can perform this for a small fee if you don’t have the tool.
What is the difference between a PCM, ECM, and ECU?
The terms are often used interchangeably. PCM (Powertrain Control Module) is the most accurate for this vehicle as it controls both the engine and transmission. ECM (Engine Control Module) and ECU (Engine Control Unit) are other common names for the same component. This part is the central computer for your 2006 Isuzu I-280 PCM functions.
Is this compatible with other part numbers?
Yes. This module is a direct replacement for a wide range of part numbers, including 12569773, 12588650, 12591647, 12597521, 12600818, and many others listed in the full description. As long as your vehicle is listed in the compatibility chart, this unit will work when programmed to your VIN.
