1999 GMC 2500 6 liter engine 4WD
Owner contacted us saying no one in his town could figure out why this pickup would not start so he had to trailer it 200 miles to us Owner stated they had put a code reader on and reported not DTCs at all. They thought it was a bad fuel pump relay but not the problem
Engine would not start at all, found fuel rail pressure was fine Hooked up OBD-II scanner which could not connect to PCM at all
Started checking wiring out and found nothing wrong with them
Check fuses to find ECM1 fuse blown. Replaced fuse and that blew
Yanked out PCM and took it cover off and instantly had that burned electronics smell As shown below found burned motherboard on both sides Cut the 2 80 pin connectors off a old PCM to connect those to wiring harness 80 pin connectors and rang out all wires and found nothing wrong with wiring or any defect of sensors, etc
Flashed another PCM, tuned it and all is well now In 20 years of tuning never seen a PCM on it's own burn so anything is possible when having a engine problem !
