That’s why getting a properly sourced and correctly programmed module is non-negotiable. An incorrect flash can lead to persistent issues that are difficult to diagnose.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the programming process work?
It’s simple. After you complete your purchase, you will need to send us your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN (Vehicle Identification Number). Our technicians use this VIN to access the official GM database and flash the module with the exact software and calibrations for your specific make, model, and engine.
Is this part truly plug-and-play?
For most vehicles, yes. Once programmed to your VIN, it is ready to be installed. However, some GM vehicles of this era may require a simple, key-on security relearn procedure that you can perform yourself in about 10-15 minutes. In some cases, a Crankshaft Variation (CASE) relearn with a scan tool may be needed to clear a remaining check engine light, though the vehicle will run and drive without it.
Will this fix my specific problem?
This module will correct any issues directly caused by a faulty PCM. While the symptoms we listed are very common for PCM failure, we always recommend proper diagnostics to confirm the PCM is the root cause of your problem before ordering.
What information do you need from me?
All we need is your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN. You can typically find it on your driver’s side dashboard (visible through the windshield), on your vehicle’s registration, or on the driver’s side door jamb sticker.
How can I confirm this is the right part number?
The best way is to check the service number on the sticker of your original computer. This module is a direct replacement for 12200411, 12201281, 12576160, and 52369718. If your part number matches, this is the correct unit for you.
What is the warranty on this module?
This unit is backed by our one-year replacement warranty, giving you confidence in your purchase.
