Is Your GM Truck or SUV Running Rough?
If your Silverado, Sierra, Tahoe, or other GM vehicle is plagued by a persistent check engine light, erratic shifting, a no-start condition, or unexplained stalling, a failing Powertrain Control Module (PCM) is often the culprit. This critical component is the brain of your vehicle, and when it malfunctions, it can cause a host of frustrating and debilitating issues. Don’t let a faulty computer keep your reliable truck off the road. This is the direct, professional solution to restore your vehicle’s performance and dependability.
Common Symptoms of a Failing PCM & Your Direct Solution
A bad PCM can manifest in many ways, often mimicking other sensor or component failures. If you’re experiencing any of the following, it’s time to consider your engine’s computer:
- Persistent Check Engine Light (CEL) with communication-related codes (e.g., P0601, P0606)
- Engine cranks but will not start
- Rough or unstable idling
- Sudden stalling or cutting out while driving
- Poor fuel economy
- Harsh or incorrect transmission shifting
- Failure to pass emissions testing
Our Programmed GM PCM 12582605 is the definitive solution to these problems. We take the guesswork out of the repair by pre-programming the module to your vehicle’s unique Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). This ensures all systems, from the engine and transmission to security and accessories, function exactly as they did from the factory.

Expert Insight: Why VIN Programming is Non-Negotiable
As a technician, I’ve seen countless vehicle owners buy a used PCM from a salvage yard, only to find it doesn’t work. That’s because a PCM isn’t a simple one-size-fits-all part. It’s programmed specifically for the original vehicle’s options—engine size, transmission type, gear ratio, tire size, and critical anti-theft security data. Our VIN programming service isn’t just a convenience; it’s the essential step that makes this repair work. We ensure the Programmed GM PCM 12582605 you receive is an exact digital match for your truck, saving you from the frustration and expense of a failed repair.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to do anything after installing this PCM?
Yes. While the main engine and transmission programming is complete, you will need to perform a security relearn procedure (often called a Passlock or VATS relearn). This syncs the new PCM with your vehicle’s anti-theft system and keys. This procedure can typically be done without special tools and instructions are widely available online for your specific model.
Where do I provide my VIN?
After completing your purchase, you will need to send us your 17-digit VIN. You can typically add it as a note during checkout or send it to us in a message referencing your order number. We cannot program and ship the unit without your VIN.
Is this a brand new part?
This is a high-quality, inspected, and tested component that is guaranteed to perform to OEM standards. Each unit is verified before being programmed and shipped.
How do I know for sure my PCM is the problem?
While the symptoms listed are strong indicators, we always recommend a proper diagnosis by a qualified mechanic. A professional scan tool can check for communication errors with the PCM (like code P0601), which is a definitive sign of internal failure. This Programmed GM PCM 12582605 is designed to be the final fix after a correct diagnosis.
Will this fix my transmission shifting problems?
In many cases, yes. The PCM controls the transmission’s electronic solenoids and shift points. If your shifting issues are caused by faulty computer logic or failing drivers within the module, this part will resolve them. However, it will not fix internal mechanical problems with the transmission itself.
What if my old part has a different service number?
This module is a direct replacement for several service numbers, including 89017750, 12582605, 12589463, 12602802, 89017734, and 28042802. As long as your original part carries one of these numbers, this unit will be a compatible replacement once programmed to your VIN.
