Restore Your Vehicle’s Performance and Reliability
Is your car suffering from a persistent check engine light, poor fuel economy, or erratic engine behavior? A failing Powertrain Control Module (PCM) is often the culprit behind these frustrating and costly issues. This direct-fit engine computer is the definitive solution, arriving at your door fully programmed to your vehicle’s specific Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). This eliminates the need for an expensive trip to the dealership and gets you back on the road with confidence.

Expert Insight: The Power of Pre-Programming
As a technician with over two decades of experience, I can’t overstate the value of receiving a pre-programmed module. In the past, you’d buy a ‘blank’ computer and have to get the vehicle towed to a dealer or find a specialty shop with expensive programming equipment. This added hundreds of dollars and days of downtime to the repair. Our process of programming the 12209614 PCM to your VIN before it ships transforms a complex job into a manageable one. It’s the single biggest factor in making this a successful and stress-free repair for our customers.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to send you my old computer?
No, there is no core charge or need to send us your original module. This is a direct purchase.
Why do you need my VIN?
Your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) contains critical information about your car’s specific options, engine, transmission, and emissions equipment. We use the VIN to load the exact, correct GM software onto the module, ensuring it works perfectly with your vehicle.
Is any additional programming required after installation?
After installing the PCM, you will likely need to perform a security relearn (often called a CASE relearn or anti-theft relearn). This procedure syncs the new computer with your vehicle’s anti-theft system and keys. It can typically be done in your driveway with a specific sequence of key turns and waiting periods. Instructions are widely available online for your specific model.
What does a Powertrain Control Module (PCM) do?
The PCM is the main computer that controls your vehicle’s engine and transmission. It takes in data from dozens of sensors to manage everything from fuel injection and spark timing to emission controls and automatic transmission shift points, ensuring optimal performance and efficiency.
Will this fix my emissions test failure?
If the failure was caused by a faulty PCM or related diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs), then yes, this replacement module is designed to resolve those issues and allow your vehicle’s systems to operate correctly, helping you pass your emissions test.
