An Expert’s Note on VIN Programming
In vehicles from this era, the PCM is more than just an engine controller; it’s the central hub for the entire vehicle. It communicates with the transmission, the anti-theft system (like GM’s Passlock), and the instrument cluster. Simply swapping in a used module from a junkyard won’t work because it’s not coded to your car’s specific options and security key. Our VIN programming service ensures this Pre-Programmed 09360210 PCM is a true digital match for your car, preventing no-start conditions and compatibility errors right out of the box.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to do anything after I install this PCM?
Yes. After installation, you will need to perform a simple security relearn procedure so the module can recognize your vehicle’s anti-theft system. This process typically involves turning the key to the ‘ON’ position for 10-15 minutes, then ‘OFF’, and repeating two more times. It requires no special tools and instructions are readily available online for your specific model.
How do I provide my vehicle’s VIN?
After you complete your purchase, you can add your VIN to the order notes or simply reply to your order confirmation email with the 17-digit VIN. We cannot ship your part until we have this information to program the module correctly.
Is this the correct part for my vehicle?
Please review the detailed compatibility list on this page. The best way to ensure a perfect match is to compare the part number from your original module to one of the compatible numbers listed (09360210, 12209614, 12202600). If you are unsure, contact us with your VIN and we will be happy to verify fitment for you.
What makes this better than a used part from a salvage yard?
A salvage yard part will not be programmed for your car’s specific VIN, leading to a no-start condition or other system failures. Our modules are professionally tested and flashed with the newest GM software for your car, ensuring a reliable, long-term solution that a used, non-programmed part cannot offer.
What if my original part number is 12209614?
This module is a fully compatible, direct replacement for several part numbers, including 12209614 and 12202600. As long as your vehicle’s make, model, and year are on our fitment list, this Pre-Programmed 09360210 PCM will function perfectly as a replacement.
