Is your Trailblazer running rough, stalling, or flashing a dreaded Check Engine light? A failing Powertrain Control Module (PCM) is often the culprit, leaving you with an unreliable vehicle that you can’t depend on. This VIN-programmed engine computer is the direct-fit solution to restore your truck’s original performance and dependability, getting you back on the road with confidence.
Common Symptoms & Your Solution
If you’re experiencing issues like a rough idle, sudden stalling, poor fuel economy, a no-start condition, or persistent and mysterious Check Engine lights, your PCM is the most likely cause. A faulty module can throw a wide range of Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs), including communication errors like U-codes or internal processor failure codes like P0601 or P0606. Replacing it with a generic, unprogrammed unit from a parts store means an expensive trip to the dealership for programming. Our 2006 Trailblazer EXT PCM arrives at your door pre-programmed to your vehicle’s exact VIN, making it a true plug-and-play fix.

An Expert’s Note on GM Electronics: As a technician, I’ve seen countless GMT360 platform vehicles like the Trailblazer, Envoy, and Rainier come into the shop with bizarre electronic issues. The PCM in these trucks is mounted in the engine bay where it’s subjected to constant heat cycles and vibration. Over 15+ years, this environment can cause internal circuits and solder joints to fail, leading to the exact intermittent and frustrating problems you’re likely facing. This isn’t just a replacement part; it’s a stable, reliable brain for your engine that resolves those hard-to-diagnose electronic gremlins for good.
Don’t let a faulty computer keep your reliable truck off the road. This is the straightforward, professional-grade solution you need. By providing us with your VIN during checkout, you ensure that the 2006 Trailblazer EXT PCM you receive is perfectly matched to your vehicle’s specific options and systems.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to do any programming after I receive this?
No. This PCM comes fully pre-programmed to your vehicle’s VIN. In most cases, it is a simple plug-and-play installation. Some vehicles may require a security relearn procedure, which is a simple process that can be done without any special tools.
Where is the PCM located on my 2006 Trailblazer?
On the 2006 Trailblazer with the 4.2L engine, the PCM is located in the engine compartment on the driver’s side, near the firewall and brake master cylinder.
How do I provide my VIN?
After you complete your purchase, you will need to send us a message with your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN. We cannot program and ship your module without it.
Will this fix my specific check engine light codes?
This PCM will resolve any codes directly caused by a failing computer (such as P0601-P0606). If your codes are related to a faulty sensor or other mechanical part, you will still need to repair that underlying issue. A new PCM is the foundation for accurate diagnostics.
What does the one-year replacement warranty cover?
The warranty covers any internal failure of the module itself. If the unit fails within one year of the purchase date, we will provide a direct replacement. It does not cover issues caused by external vehicle faults.
