Restore Peak Performance to Your Vehicle with a Programmed Engine Computer
Is your 2000 Pontiac Grand Prix, or another compatible GM vehicle, suffering from perplexing issues like a persistent check engine light, rough idling, poor fuel economy, or even a no-start condition? These are classic signs of a failing Powertrain Control Module (PCM), the electronic brain of your vehicle’s engine. A faulty PCM can disrupt everything from fuel injection and ignition timing to transmission shifting, leading to a frustrating and unreliable driving experience. This genuine GM PCM, part number 09380717, is the definitive solution to restore your vehicle’s factory performance and reliability.
This isn’t just a replacement part; it’s a complete, plug-and-play solution. We take a high-quality, used OEM module and professionally program it with the latest official GM software updates specifically for your vehicle. By providing us with your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) at checkout, you ensure that the module you receive is perfectly matched to your car’s specific configuration, options, and emissions standards. This eliminates the need for expensive trips to the dealership for programming, saving you both time and money.
We had a 2000 Pontiac Grand Prix GT come into the shop with a complaint that was driving the owner crazy. The car would run fine for days, then suddenly start shifting hard and the check engine light would flash. Other times, it would hesitate badly on acceleration. The owner had already replaced the spark plugs, wires, and a transmission solenoid based on codes that would pop up and disappear. We hooked up our advanced scanner and monitored the live data. We noticed the PCM was intermittently losing communication with the transmission control module and sending erratic signals to the fuel injectors. After confirming all wiring and grounds were solid, we knew the processor inside the original PCM was failing. We sourced a quality used module, programmed it to the car’s VIN, and installed it. The difference was immediate. The car ran smoothly, shifted perfectly, and all the phantom codes vanished. It’s a classic case where the root cause was the central computer, not the parts it was controlling.
Common Symptoms of a Failing PCM
- ✔ Persistent Check Engine Light (CEL) illumination
- ✔ Engine stalling, stumbling, or misfiring
- ✔ Difficulty starting the engine or a complete no-start condition
- ✔ Noticeable decrease in fuel efficiency
- ✔ Harsh or erratic automatic transmission shifting
- ✔ Failure to pass state emissions testing
- ✔ Unexplained error codes stored in the system

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do you need my VIN?
Your VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) is essential for us to program the PCM correctly. It contains specific information about your car’s engine, transmission, emissions systems, and factory options. Programming the module with your VIN ensures it communicates perfectly with all other modules in your vehicle, just like the original one did.
Is this a plug-and-play part?
Yes, because we program it to your VIN before shipping, it is designed to be a plug-and-play installation. However, some GM vehicles may require a security relearn procedure (often called a CASE relearn or anti-theft relearn) after installation, which can typically be done without special tools. Instructions are widely available online for this simple procedure.
Is this a new part?
No, this is a high-quality, tested, and fully functional used OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) part that has been sourced from a salvaged vehicle. This allows us to provide a genuine GM part at a significant saving compared to a new unit from a dealership.
How do I find my original part number?
Your vehicle’s PCM is typically located in the engine bay, often on the driver’s side near the air filter box. The part number is printed on a white sticker on the module’s case. For this listing, you should be looking for the number 09380717.
Will this fix my car’s problem?
If your vehicle’s issues have been correctly diagnosed as a faulty PCM, this part is the correct solution. It is crucial to ensure a proper diagnosis has been performed, as other failing sensors or wiring problems can sometimes mimic PCM failure.
