'99 silverado PCM

I have a '99 silverado 4x4 5.3 Z71.

Swapped the PCM with a '01 PCM.. works great but the battery warning light goes on and off. I looked at the wiring diagrams and added the wire from the alt to the PCM but still no joy.

 

Just to be CLEAR... I WANT to use a 01-02 PCM. That is why I put in a 01 PCM. The shifts are WAY better and the driveablity is WAY better. I have an 00 and a 99 PCM as well. You can clearly feel the diiference when you drive it. I have had the 01 in for over 2 years. Just want to get the battery warning issue resolved

 

Does anyone know how to resolve this??

 

 

A little help over here please

 

 

Thanks...

Easiest is to put in the correct PCM. Your dealing with powertrain calibrations and security cals. They must be right to shut off the lights.

You need to be sure to install a PCM that is of the proper service #.

 

The 99-00 trucks use PCM service # 09354896

 

From what I've found, the 01-02 service # 12200411 should also work. However, depending on the "donor" vehicle, it could have had different optioning than yours. It may eventually settle out, then again, it might not.

 

If you have a dealer that's pretty good about doing things "unofficially", see if they'll get their tech2 tool to reflash the PCM so it talks correctly. Might be a good question for "Ask the GM Tech".

      The Peckish Synapse

      You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling.

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.
