The Powertrain Control Module (PCM), sometimes referred to as the Engine Control Module (PCM/ECM/ECU), is the brains of all modern vehicles. These computers monitor various metrics to make sure the engine is running at optimum performance. They also store error codes that can be used to diagnose a number of engine and transmission problems. Each vehicle trim comes with a unique PCM, a pre-programmed Vehicle Identification Number (VIN).
While some computers can last several years, PCM wears out over time. Faulty PCM and damaged engine control modules are common in older vehicles such as the 2010 Chevrolet Traverse. You can purchase and install a new PCM to avoid the intermittent performance issues that are common with failed computers.
Is your 2010 Chevrolet Traverse damaged?
The 2010 Chevy Traverse is usually found in the engine bay on the driver’s side, on the firewall, or near the battery. There are several signs of a bad or malfunctioning computer.
If you are experiencing any of these issues, you most likely need a new PCM:
*Engine cranks but won’t start
*Problem with stalling when shifting gears or starting the car
*Intermittent misfires
*Peculiar odor and emissions increased
*Ignition coil not getting enough spark
*Troubleshooting P1792 (Engine Coolant Signal Codes from ECM to TCM), P06010 (Internal Control Modules Memory Checksum Error), P0606 (ECM *Processor Error), P1890 (ECM Data Input Circuit) and P1690 (ECM Circuit Overflow) and others
Replacing Your 2010 Chevrolet Traverse PCM
Once you have determined that the ECM is faulty, you will need to replace it. Diagnosis and replacement of the ECM must be performed by experts to avoid voiding the vehicle manufacturer’s warranty. The troubleshooting process usually involves checking the control unit, clearing error codes, and performing various diagnostic procedures using an OBD-II scanner. we make this whole process easy so you don’t have to tow your car or visit an expensive garage. You can perform a quick installation wherever you are, including in your own driveway. Our ECMs also come with a lifetime warranty and are 100% compatible with the vehicles listed.
To replace your 2010 Chevrolet Traverse you only need to have the vehicle identification number that we will use to pre-program your control unit. Remember to enter the VIN in the textbox labeled VIN Number during checkout. If you do not have a VIN, you can still purchase a PCM and then contact us at +1626-479-2019 or email (auth@gradeautopart.com). All gardeauto ECUs are quality controlled and then randomly tested by certified technicians. In-house ASE certified mechanics also conduct on-board testing to ensure that all powertrain control modules leave our facility ready for immediate installation.
