Where is the pcm on a 2006 Chevy truck?

The PCM (Powertrain Control Module) on a 2006 Chevy truck is typically located under the hood, near the firewall. However, the exact location can vary slightly depending on the specific model (1500, 2500, 3500) and engine type. It's often attached to the inner fender well or secured to a bracket nearby.

To find it definitively, you should:

* Consult your owner's manual: This is the best resource as it will show a diagram of your specific truck's components.

* Look for a large, rectangular module with numerous connectors: The PCM is usually a relatively large electronic control unit.

* Search online for a diagram specific to your year, make, model and engine: A quick search like "2006 Chevy Silverado PCM location" (replacing Silverado with your specific model) will likely yield images and forum posts that pinpoint its location.

Warning: Before attempting to locate or access the PCM, disconnect the negative terminal of your battery to prevent accidental electrical shorts.
