Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to do any programming myself?
Absolutely not. The main benefit of our service is that we handle all the programming for you. Simply provide us with your vehicle’s VIN during or after checkout, and the module will arrive at your door ready for installation.
What is a ‘CASE Relearn’ and will I need one?
A CASE (Crankshaft Angle Sensor Error) Relearn may be required after installation. This is a simple procedure that synchronizes the new PCM with your engine’s crankshaft position sensor. Most professional-grade scan tools can perform this function in a few minutes. It is a standard final step for this type of repair.
How do I provide my VIN?
You can enter your 17-digit VIN in the notes section during checkout. If you forget, don’t worry—we will contact you via email after your purchase to request the information before we program and ship your module.
Will this fix my check engine light?
If the check engine light is caused by an internal failure of the PCM (common codes include P0601, P0606), then this module is the correct fix. It is crucial to have your vehicle properly diagnosed to ensure the problem is the PCM and not a faulty sensor or wiring issue.
Where is the PCM located on my 2006 Saab 9-7X?
On the 2006 Saab 9-7X equipped with the 4.2L 6-cylinder engine, the Powertrain Control Module is typically located on the driver’s side of the engine compartment, near the firewall and intake manifold.
