Expert Insight: Why VIN Programming is Non-Negotiable
As a technician, I’ve seen countless drivers try to save a few dollars by grabbing a used computer from a salvage yard and dropping it into their car. More often than not, this creates more problems than it solves. Without proper VIN programming, the new PCM won’t recognize your car’s security system (VATS/Passlock), leading to a no-start condition. It may also have the wrong calibration for your engine or transmission, causing poor performance and potential damage. Our process of programming this Programmed 09361735 PCM to your specific VIN isn’t just a convenience—it’s the critical step that makes the repair successful.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I provide my VIN?
After you complete your purchase, you will receive instructions on how to send us your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN. We cannot ship your order until we receive this information, as it is essential for programming the module correctly.
Is this part difficult to install?
For most of the listed vehicles, the PCM is located in the engine bay and is relatively easy to access. Installation typically involves disconnecting the battery, unplugging the electrical connectors from the old module, unbolting it, and then installing the new one in the reverse order. Basic hand tools are usually all that is required.
Will I need to do anything else after installation?
In some cases, a simple security relearn procedure may be necessary. This can typically be done without special tools and involves a sequence of key turns. We can provide general instructions upon request. However, since the unit is pre-programmed, no further dealer-level programming is needed.
What does “used” condition mean for this part?
This PCM was carefully removed from a salvaged vehicle. It is a genuine, original equipment (OEM) part, not an aftermarket copy. We inspect these units to ensure they are physically sound before programming and shipping.
How does the one-year replacement warranty work?
If the module fails within one year from the date of purchase, we will provide a direct replacement. This coverage protects you against defects in the part, giving you confidence in your repair.
