Expert Insight: The Critical Role of Correct Programming
For early 2000s GM vehicles like the Aurora, the PCM is more than just an engine controller; it’s the central hub for the entire powertrain. It communicates constantly with the Transmission Control Module, ABS, and Body Control Module. Using a generic, non-programmed module can cause a cascade of communication failures, leading to persistent warning lights and poor performance. Our VIN-matching process ensures that all these digital handshakes happen correctly, preserving the sophisticated engineering of your vehicle and providing a lasting, reliable repair.
Don’t let a failing computer diminish your driving experience. This Programmed 2001-2002 Oldsmobile Aurora PCM is the most reliable way to solve complex electronic issues and restore your vehicle’s health and your confidence behind the wheel.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to send my old PCM to you?
No, there is no core charge or need to send your original module to us. This is a direct replacement unit that we program and ship to you.
What information do you need from me?
After you complete your purchase, we will need the 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) from your 2001-2002 Oldsmobile Aurora. This is typically found on your driver’s side dashboard (visible through the windshield) or on your vehicle’s registration.
Is any additional programming required after installation?
While the main engine and transmission programming is complete, you will need to perform a security relearn procedure (often called a VATS relearn) so the module recognizes your key. This is a simple procedure that takes about 30 minutes and does not require any special tools. We can provide instructions for this process.
How do I know if this part number will fit my vehicle?
This module, part number 12202600, is a direct replacement for several GM part numbers, including 12209614 and 09360210. The best way to ensure compatibility is to provide us with your VIN. Our programming process guarantees it will work for the extensive list of models shown in the fitment guide, including your Aurora.
What if my original part number is not listed?
Please contact us with your VIN. GM often consolidates part numbers over time. We can verify if this module is the correct, updated replacement for your specific vehicle, even if your original number differs.
