Frequently Asked Questions
How does the programming process work?
It’s simple. After you complete your purchase, you’ll need to provide us with your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN. Our technicians use this VIN to flash the PCM with the correct, most up-to-date GM software for your specific make, model, and engine configuration before we ship it to you.
Is any additional programming needed after installation?
In most cases, this is a direct-install part. However, some vehicles may require a security relearn procedure (often called a CASE relearn or Passlock relearn) after installation. This is a simple procedure that can typically be done without special tools and instructions can be readily found for your specific model.
Where do I find my VIN?
Your VIN can be found on a metal plate on the driver’s side of the dashboard (visible through the windshield), on the driver’s side door jamb sticker, or on your vehicle’s registration and insurance documents.
Will this fix my check engine light?
If the Check Engine Light is caused by a faulty PCM (common codes include P0601 – Internal Control Module Memory Check Sum Error), this replacement Programmed 12200411 PCM is designed to be the correct fix. However, it’s always wise to ensure other potential issues have been ruled out by a proper diagnosis.
