An Expert’s Note on PCM Programming
As a technician with over 20 years of experience, I’ve seen countless drivers waste time and money on used computers from a salvage yard. A PCM is not just a simple part; it’s the brain of your car, tied directly to its specific VIN for security and operational functions. Installing an unprogrammed module will, at best, not work and, at worst, can create new, more complex electronic issues. Our process of programming the 2005-2006 Pontiac Pursuit PCM to your exact VIN is the only way to guarantee a correct, lasting repair and restore your peace of mind.
Frequently Asked Questions
What information do I need to provide?
After you complete your purchase, you must provide us with your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN (Vehicle Identification Number). We cannot ship your part until we have this information, as it is essential for the programming process.
Is this a difficult part to install?
For someone with basic mechanical skills, the installation is straightforward. The PCM is typically located in the engine compartment. The key steps are to disconnect the vehicle’s battery, unplug the electrical connectors from the old unit, unbolt it, and then install the new one in the reverse order. While it’s plug-and-play, some vehicles may require a simple security relearn procedure, which can be found online or in a service manual.
Will this fix my check engine light?
If the check engine light and performance issues are caused by a failing computer, this part is the correct solution. We always recommend having the codes professionally read to confirm the PCM is the point of failure before ordering. This 2005-2006 Pontiac Pursuit PCM is designed to resolve all computer-related diagnostic trouble codes.
Will this fit my Chevy Cobalt or HHR?
Yes, this PCM is also compatible with the 2005-2006 Chevrolet Cobalt and the 2006 Chevrolet HHR, specifically for models equipped with the 2.2L engine. The programming will be tailored to your specific make, model, and VIN.
