Restore Your Trailblazer’s Performance and Reliability
Is your 2006 Trailblazer EXT running rough, shifting erratically, or showing a persistent Check Engine light? A faulty Powertrain Control Module (PCM) can disrupt your SUV’s core functions, causing immense frustration and diagnostic headaches. This VIN-programmed replacement is the direct, professional-grade solution to restore its original performance and get you back on the road with confidence. We take the guesswork out of the repair by pre-flashing the unit with the latest GM software updates specific to your vehicle, making installation straightforward.
Common Symptoms & Your Direct Solution
A failing engine computer can manifest in various ways, often mimicking other sensor or component failures. If you’re experiencing any of the following, a faulty PCM is a likely culprit:
- Persistent Check Engine Light (CEL) with communication-related codes (e.g., P0601, P0606)
- Rough or unstable idling
- Poor fuel economy
- Harsh or incorrect transmission shifting
- Engine stalling or complete no-start conditions
- Failure to communicate with diagnostic scan tools
This module is the definitive fix for these issues. By providing us with your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) during checkout, you receive a perfectly matched computer that integrates seamlessly with your Trailblazer’s systems. This is the most critical step to ensure a successful repair, and our expert service handles it for you before the part even ships.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to do anything after I install this PCM?
In most cases, this is a plug-and-play installation. However, some vehicles may require a security relearn procedure, which can typically be done without special tools and takes about 30 minutes. Instructions are readily available online for this simple process. A CASE (Crankshaft Angle Sensor Error) relearn may also be needed, which requires a capable scan tool.
Where do I provide my VIN?
You can add your 17-digit VIN to the order notes during checkout. If you forget, we will contact you via email after your purchase to request it. We cannot ship your part until we have your VIN to complete the programming.
Is this a brand new part?
This is a high-quality, genuine OEM unit that has been meticulously inspected, tested, and prepared by our technicians to ensure it meets or exceeds original factory standards. It is ready for years of reliable service.
Will this fix my check engine light?
If the check engine light is caused by a faulty PCM (indicated by codes like P0601, P0602, P0605, P0606), then this part is the correct solution. It’s crucial to ensure your vehicle’s other issues, such as faulty wiring or sensors, have been addressed as well.
How can I be sure my current PCM is bad?
While the symptoms listed above are strong indicators, the best way is through a professional diagnosis. Common signs include a complete lack of communication with a scan tool, internal module error codes, or having ruled out all other possible causes for persistent engine or transmission problems.
