Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to have this programmed by a dealer?
No. We handle all the programming for you before shipment. This PCM will arrive flashed with the latest GM software and coded to your vehicle’s specific VIN. The only step you may need to perform after installation is a simple security relearn procedure, which can be done without any special tools.
What is the security relearn procedure?
The security relearn, or anti-theft relearn, syncs the new PCM with your vehicle’s existing anti-theft system. The most common method involves turning the key to the ‘ON’ position for 10-15 minutes, then ‘OFF’ for 10 seconds, and repeating this cycle three times. We include simple, step-by-step instructions with your order.
Will this fix my specific Check Engine Light code?
This PCM is a direct solution for codes related to internal module failure, such as P0601 (Internal Control Module Memory Check Sum Error) or P0606 (PCM Processor Fault). If your code is for a specific sensor, that sensor should be checked first. However, a faulty PCM can sometimes cause false sensor codes.
How do I provide my VIN?
After you complete your purchase, you will receive instructions on how to send us your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). We must have your VIN to program the module correctly before we can ship your order.
