Restore Peak Performance to Your GM Vehicle
Is your 2001 Oldsmobile Aurora, Chevy Impala, or Pontiac Grand Am suffering from erratic shifting, a frustrating no-start condition, or a persistent Check Engine light that just won’t go away? A failing Powertrain Control Module (PCM) is often the hidden culprit, disrupting communication between your engine and transmission and leaving you with an unreliable vehicle. This is the definitive, hassle-free solution to restore your car’s performance and get you back on the road with confidence.
Common Symptoms & Your Solution
A faulty PCM can manifest in numerous ways, often mimicking other component failures. If you’re experiencing any of the following, this module is the likely fix:
- Check Engine Light: Specifically for internal module failure codes like P0601, P0602, P0605, or P0606.
- Poor Performance: Noticeable loss of power, decreased fuel economy, and rough or inconsistent idling.
- Transmission Issues: Harsh shifting, getting stuck in gear, or failure to shift properly.
- Intermittent Stalling: The engine may stall for no apparent reason, either while driving or at a stop.
- No-Start Condition: The engine cranks but refuses to start, even with a good battery and starter.

Expert Insight: Why VIN Programming is Non-Negotiable
As a technician with over 20 years of experience, I’ve seen countless drivers try to save a few dollars by installing a used, non-programmed module from a salvage yard. This almost never works. On these early 2000s GM vehicles, the PCM is tied directly to the BCM (Body Control Module) and the anti-theft system (VATS/Passlock). A module with a mismatched VIN will immediately trigger the security system, resulting in a no-start condition that’s far worse than the original problem. Our professional VIN flashing service for this programmed 09378702 PCM ensures the module is accepted by your car’s network, saving you from expensive diagnostic fees and the headache of a car that won’t run.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to do any programming or flashing myself?
Absolutely not. The main benefit of our service is that we handle all the programming for you. Once you provide your VIN, we flash the module so it’s ready for installation right out of the box. This is a true plug-and-play solution.
Where and when do I provide my vehicle’s VIN?
After you complete your purchase, you will receive an email with simple instructions on how to send us your VIN. We cannot ship your order until we receive this information, as it’s essential for the programming process.
Will this fix my check engine light?
This module will correct any diagnostic trouble codes related to the PCM itself, such as P0601 (Internal Control Module Memory Check Sum Error). If your check engine light is on for other reasons, like a faulty oxygen sensor or EGR valve, those issues will need to be addressed separately. A proper diagnosis is always recommended.
How long does the programming and shipping process take?
We pride ourselves on a fast turnaround. We typically program and ship your programmed 09378702 PCM within 1-2 business days of receiving your valid VIN.
Is this a new or used part?
This is a genuine OEM component that has been meticulously inspected, cleaned, and tested by our expert technicians to ensure it meets strict quality and performance standards. It is guaranteed to function correctly.
What if my original part number is slightly different?
Part numbers can be complex. If your number does not match 09378702 exactly, please contact us with your VIN and original part number before ordering. We will be happy to verify compatibility to ensure you receive the correct part for your vehicle.
