Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly does the Powertrain Control Module do?
The PCM is the main computer for your vehicle. It controls all aspects of engine performance, including fuel injection, ignition timing, and emissions, as well as managing the automatic transmission’s shifting for optimal performance and efficiency.
Is this part difficult to install?
For someone with basic mechanical skills, the physical replacement is straightforward. The module is typically located in the engine bay and is held in place by a few bolts and electrical connectors. Since our unit comes pre-programmed, the most complex part of the job is already done for you.
Will I need to perform any other procedures after installation?
In many GM vehicles, a security relearn procedure may be required after installation, which can typically be done without special tools. A Crankshaft Variation Relearn (CASE Relearn) may also be needed to clear a specific trouble code, which requires a compatible scan tool. We recommend consulting a service manual or a qualified technician for these final steps.
How do I provide my Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)?
After you complete your purchase, you will receive instructions on how to send us your 17-digit VIN. We cannot program and ship your module without it, so please provide it promptly to avoid delays.
Will this fix my check engine light?
If the check engine light is caused by an internal failure of the original PCM (such as codes P0601 or P0606), this part is the correct fix. However, a check engine light can be triggered by hundreds of other issues. It is always best to have your vehicle properly diagnosed before ordering.
