Restore Your Trailblazer’s Performance and Reliability
Is your 2006 Trailblazer EXT running rough, shifting erratically, or showing a persistent check engine light? A failing Powertrain Control Module (PCM) can bring your dependable SUV to a standstill, causing daily frustration and uncertainty. This isn’t just an inconvenience; it’s a disruption to your life. We offer the definitive solution: a professionally programmed engine computer that restores your vehicle’s factory performance and your peace of mind.
Common Symptoms & Your Solution
A faulty PCM can manifest in numerous ways, often mimicking other component failures. If you’re experiencing any of the following, a failing module is a likely culprit:
- Check Engine Light (CEL) Illumination: Often with communication-related Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) like P0601, P0602, P0605, or P0606.
- Erratic Shifting or Transmission Problems: Harsh shifts, delayed engagement, or getting stuck in gear.
- Poor Engine Performance: Rough idling, stalling, hesitation during acceleration, and a noticeable drop in fuel economy.
- Intermittent or Complete No-Start Condition: The engine cranks but refuses to start, especially when warm.
- Communication Issues: Your scan tool may be unable to communicate with the PCM.
This isn’t a generic, off-the-shelf part. It’s a precisely matched solution. We take your vehicle’s unique Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and flash this module with the latest, most stable GM software updates. This ensures it communicates flawlessly with your Trailblazer’s systems right out of the box. Our programmed 2006 Trailblazer EXT PCM is the direct path to resolving those frustrating issues and getting your truck running like it should, eliminating the need for an expensive trip to the dealership.

An Expert’s Insight: As a technician with over 20 years of experience, I’ve seen countless issues arise from using generic or improperly programmed modules. The PCM is the ‘brain’ of your Trailblazer. Without precise VIN-specific programming, critical systems like the anti-theft (Passlock/VATS), transmission controls, and ABS can fail to communicate, leaving you with a vehicle that won’t start or runs even worse. Our process for this programmed 2006 Trailblazer EXT PCM eliminates that guesswork, ensuring every component works in harmony from the moment you turn the key.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to do any programming myself?
Absolutely not. This module is a complete plug-and-drive solution. We handle all the programming before it ships. All you need to do is install it in your vehicle.
What information do you need from me after I order?
After you complete your purchase, you will need to provide us with your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN. This is crucial for us to program the module correctly for your specific Trailblazer EXT.
Will this fix my specific problem?
This PCM will resolve issues directly caused by a failing engine computer. While the symptoms listed above are common indicators of PCM failure, we always recommend having a qualified mechanic perform a thorough diagnosis to rule out other potential causes like faulty wiring or sensors.
Is this a new or used part?
This is a high-quality, OEM-grade replacement module that has been meticulously inspected, tested, and programmed with the latest software to ensure peak performance and reliability for your vehicle.
What if my original part number is different from 12597776?
No problem. This module is a direct replacement for a wide range of part numbers listed in the vehicle fitment section. As long as your vehicle and original part number are on our compatibility list, this unit will work perfectly.
Does this require a ‘CASE relearn’ or any other relearn procedures?
In most cases, no additional procedures are needed. However, some vehicles may require a Crankshaft Variation Relearn (CASE Relearn) to clear a P1336 trouble code. This is a simple procedure that can be performed with a capable bi-directional scan tool.
