Restore Peak Performance to Your GM Vehicle
Is a faulty engine computer keeping your trusted GM truck, van, or SUV off the road? Unexplained stalling, erratic shifting, and a persistent Check Engine Light are frustrating signs that your Powertrain Control Module (PCM) may have failed. This isn’t just an inconvenience; it affects your vehicle’s reliability, fuel economy, and safety. It’s time for a definitive solution that gets you back to work and back to your life with confidence. This Programmed 52369718 PCM is the answer, arriving flashed with the latest GM software and tailored specifically to your vehicle’s VIN.
Common Symptoms & Your Solution
If your vehicle is experiencing any of the following, a failing PCM is the likely culprit:
- Check Engine Light with communication codes (U-codes) or internal processor failure codes (P0601, P0606).
- No Start or Hard Start: The engine cranks but refuses to start, or only starts intermittently.
- Poor Performance & Fuel Economy: A noticeable drop in power, hesitation during acceleration, and more frequent trips to the gas station.
- Erratic Shifting: Your automatic transmission may shift harshly, get stuck in gear, or shift at the wrong times.
- Failed Emissions Test: An unresponsive PCM can prevent your vehicle’s systems from reaching readiness status.
This pre-programmed engine computer is the most reliable and efficient way to resolve these issues. We take the guesswork out of the repair by programming the unit to your exact vehicle before it ships, making the installation process as straightforward as possible.

Expert Insight: Why VIN Programming is Non-Negotiable
Many people are tempted to grab a used computer from a salvage yard, thinking it’s a cheap fix. This is almost always a mistake. A PCM from another vehicle is a blank slate with the wrong ‘DNA.’ Your GM vehicle’s VIN isn’t just a serial number; it’s a key that unlocks specific calibrations for your engine size, transmission type, gear ratios, and even tire size. Using a non-programmed or incorrectly programmed module will, at best, cause performance issues and, at worst, prevent the vehicle from starting at all. Our process of using your VIN to install the correct, updated GM software ensures this Programmed 52369718 PCM works precisely as the factory intended, restoring the reliable performance you depend on every day.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to do anything after I install the PCM?
Yes. While the main engine programming is complete, you will need to perform a simple security relearn procedure (often called a CASE relearn or Passlock relearn) so the new PCM can communicate with your vehicle’s anti-theft system and keys. This procedure typically takes 10-30 minutes and can be done without special tools. Instructions are readily available online for your specific model.
How do I provide my Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)?
After you complete your purchase, please send us a message with your 17-digit VIN. To ensure accuracy, we recommend copying it directly from your driver’s side door jamb sticker or your vehicle’s registration/insurance documents. We cannot ship your Programmed 52369718 PCM until we receive this information.
Is this a brand new part?
This is a high-quality, fully tested replacement engine computer. Each unit undergoes rigorous inspection and verification to ensure it meets or exceeds original equipment standards. It is then programmed with the latest software to provide reliable, long-term performance.
Will this fix my check engine light?
If the check engine light is caused by an internal failure of your original PCM (e.g., codes P0601-P0606), then this part is the correct solution. However, it’s crucial to have your vehicle properly diagnosed, as many other sensors or components can trigger a check engine light. This part fixes the computer, not other potential issues in the vehicle.
What part numbers does this module replace?
This module is a direct, pre-programmed replacement for several common GM service numbers, including 12200411, 12201281, 12576160, and 52369718. Please check the fitment list to confirm compatibility with your specific vehicle.
