Is Your Grand Prix Running Rough? Get Back on the Road with Confidence.
There’s nothing more frustrating than a car you can’t rely on. If your 2001-2003 Pontiac Grand Prix is suffering from a persistent check engine light, poor fuel economy, erratic shifting, or even a no-start condition, a failing Powertrain Control Module (PCM) is often the culprit. As the central computer for your engine and transmission, its proper function is critical. This professionally programmed PCM is the definitive solution to restore your vehicle’s performance and dependability.
Common Symptoms & Your Solution
A faulty PCM can manifest in numerous ways, leaving you stranded or dealing with unpredictable behavior. You might be experiencing:
- Stalling or cutting out while driving
- Harsh or delayed transmission shifts
- A steady or flashing Check Engine Light (CEL)
- Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) related to sensors, ignition, or communication
- Reduced power and poor acceleration
- Failure to pass an emissions test

Expert Insight: Why a Programmed Module Matters
As a technician, I’ve seen countless drivers chase phantom issues, replacing perfectly good sensors and ignition parts, only to find the PCM was the real problem. These early 2000s GM computers can develop internal faults in the driver circuits that control fuel injectors or ignition coils. This leads to misfires or communication errors that are impossible to fix without replacing the module itself. Simply swapping in a used PCM won’t work due to the vehicle’s anti-theft system (Passlock/VATS). Our VIN programming service not only loads the correct engine and transmission calibration but also syncs the module to your car, making the installation process as simple as swapping the part and turning the key.
Don’t let a faulty computer dictate your driving experience. Take control with a reliable, professionally prepared 2001-2003 Grand Prix PCM 09360210 and get your car running the way it was meant to. After you complete your purchase, we will contact you for your VIN to begin the programming process.
Frequently Asked Questions
What information do you need from me?
After you place your order, we will need your vehicle’s 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). You can add it to the notes at checkout or reply to our confirmation email. This is essential for us to program the module correctly for your specific vehicle.
Is any additional programming needed after installation?
No. This PCM is shipped fully programmed and ready for installation. In some cases, a simple 10-15 minute security relearn procedure may be required, which involves turning the key on and off. We include easy-to-follow instructions for this. No special tools or scanners are needed.
Will this fix my specific problem?
This module will correct any issue directly caused by a failing PCM. While it solves a wide range of common engine and transmission problems, it’s important to ensure your vehicle’s other components (like wiring, sensors, and fuel pump) are in good working order. This part is the solution when the computer itself is the point of failure.
Is this compatible with other part numbers?
Yes, this module is a direct replacement for several part numbers, including 12209614 and 12202600. It is compatible with a wide range of GM vehicles from 2001-2003. Please check the fitment list to confirm it matches your make and model.
How difficult is the installation?
For most compatible vehicles, the PCM is located in the engine bay and is held in by a few bolts. The process typically involves disconnecting the battery, unplugging the electrical connectors from the old module, swapping it with the new one, and reconnecting everything. It’s a straightforward job for a DIYer with basic hand tools.
