Dealing with a faulty engine computer in your 2001-2003 Pontiac Aztek can be incredibly frustrating.

Expert Technician’s Tip
Before installing your new Programmed 2001-2003 Pontiac Aztek PCM, take a moment to inspect and clean your vehicle’s main battery cables and chassis ground connections. On these early 2000s GM platforms, poor grounds can cause erratic voltage, which can damage sensitive electronics and mimic the symptoms of a failed PCM. Ensuring these connections are clean, tight, and corrosion-free is a simple step that protects your investment and ensures a lasting repair.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to send you my old computer?
No, there is no core charge or requirement to send your original module back to us. This is a direct purchase.
What information do you need from me?
After you complete your purchase, you must provide us with your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN. We cannot ship your part until we have this information, as the programming is specific to your vehicle.
Is any additional programming required after installation?
While the main engine programming is complete, you may need to perform a simple Security Relearn Procedure or Crankshaft Variation Relearn (CASE learn) with a capable scan tool. This is a standard procedure for many GM vehicles to ensure the security system syncs and the engine runs its absolute best.
What does a Powertrain Control Module (PCM) do?
The PCM is the central computer of your vehicle. It controls all aspects of the engine and transmission, including fuel injection, ignition timing, emissions systems, and shift points, to ensure optimal performance, fuel economy, and low emissions.
How do I find my VIN?
Your VIN can be found on your vehicle’s registration, insurance card, or on a metal plate on the driver’s side of the dashboard, visible through the windshield.
Is this the correct part for my other GM car?
This module, part number 09360210 and its alternates, fits a wide range of early 2000s GM vehicles. Please check the detailed fitment list on this page to confirm compatibility with your specific make, model, and year before ordering your Programmed 2001-2003 Pontiac Aztek PCM.
