An Expert’s Note on VIN Programming
“Many people buy used engine computers online thinking they’ve found a bargain, only to discover the car still won’t start. That’s because the PCM is the ‘brain’ of the car and is tied to the vehicle’s security system via the VIN. Without proper programming, the vehicle’s anti-theft system will prevent the engine from running. Our process of pre-flashing the Programmed 2000-2001 Alero PCM 9356249 to your VIN before it leaves our facility is what makes this a true plug-and-play solution, saving you time, money, and the headache of a tow to the dealer.”
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to do anything after I install it?
In most cases, this module is ready to go.

After you complete your purchase, simply send us a message with your 17-digit VIN. We cannot program and ship your module until we receive this information, so please provide it promptly to avoid delays.
