The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) on the 2003 4.8L, 5.3L, and 6.0L V8 equipped Chevrolet Express and GMC Savana vans has two connectors. Each connector can be identified as:
- C1 Blue (80 Pin Connector).
- C2 Green (80 Pin Connector).
In this and following pages, you'll find the terminal pinouts for both PCM connectors.

Safety Precautions
Here are some very important safety precautions when testing the wires coming out of the PCM connectors.
- If one or any of the wires on your GM vehicle DO NOT match the color stated in the Pin Out Charts, then you should not use the Pin Out Charts in this article. Why? Because this is the clearest indication that these ARE NOT the Connector Pin Out Charts for your particular vehicle.
- Never probe the front of the connector.
- You should use a wire piercing probe and probe the wire a few inches away from the connector.
- To see what this tool looks like: Wire Piercing Probe.
- You should use a back probe.
- You should use a wire piercing probe and probe the wire a few inches away from the connector.
- You should never disconnect any of the PCM connectors without first disconnecting the battery negative (-) terminal.
- This is a FLASH unit and requires reprogramming if replaced with a new one or used one.
