Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to do any programming after I receive this part?
No. This PCM comes fully programmed to your vehicle’s specific VIN. It is ready to be installed as soon as you receive it. You will not need to take it to a dealership or mechanic for additional programming.
How do I provide my VIN?
After you complete your purchase, you will need to send us your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). We will provide clear instructions on how to do this. We cannot ship the part until we have programmed it with your VIN.
Will this fix my check engine light?
If the check engine light is on due to a faulty PCM (e.g., codes P0601-P0606), this part is the correct solution. However, if the light is on for other reasons, like a bad oxygen sensor or a loose gas cap, those issues will need to be addressed separately. A proper diagnosis is always recommended.
Is any other procedure required after installation?
In some GM vehicles, a security or crank-relearn procedure may be necessary after installation. These are simple procedures that can typically be done without special tools. We can provide guidance if needed.
What if this doesn’t fix my problem?
While this Programmed 09356741 PCM is the solution for a failed module, it’s important to ensure your vehicle has been correctly diagnosed. If you install the part and problems persist, it may indicate other issues with sensors, wiring, or mechanical components that need to be addressed.
