Expert Insight: Why VIN Programming is Crucial
As a technician, I’ve seen countless DIY repairs go wrong because of an unprogrammed module. Simply swapping a computer from another vehicle, even an identical one, won’t work. Modern vehicles have anti-theft systems (like GM’s Passlock/Passkey) and specific calibrations for the engine, transmission, and even tire size. Our VIN programming service handles all of that for you. We ensure the module’s software perfectly matches your car’s factory configuration, preventing no-start security lockouts and ensuring every component works in harmony from the moment you turn the key.
Don’t let a bad computer keep your trusted car or van off the road. This Programmed 12209614 PCM is your path to a smooth-running, reliable vehicle once again. Simply provide your VIN after purchase, and we’ll handle the complex part so you can enjoy a simple installation.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I provide my VIN number?
After you complete your purchase, you will receive instructions on how to send us your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN. We cannot ship your part until we receive this information, as the programming is specific to your car.
Is this part difficult to install?

In most cases, no further action is needed. The module is programmed to be plug-and-drive. However, some vehicles may require a security relearn procedure, which is a simple process that can be done without special tools. Instructions can be easily found online for your specific model.
What is a Powertrain Control Module (PCM)?
The PCM is your vehicle’s main computer. It controls all aspects of the engine’s operation, including fuel injection, ignition timing, and emissions, while also managing the automatic transmission’s shifting. It’s essential for performance, fuel economy, and reliability.
How can I be sure this fits my vehicle?
This Programmed 12209614 PCM is compatible with the listed makes and models. The best way to confirm is to match the part number from your old unit to 12209614, 12202600, or 09360210. Providing your VIN ensures we program it correctly for your exact vehicle options.
