Expert Insight: The Brain of Your Workhorse
The late 90s GM trucks and vans are legendary for their durability, but their electronics can be a weak point as they age. The PCM is the central command center, and when it fails, the symptoms can be misleading. Many technicians might chase failing sensors or wiring issues, but often the problem lies with the computer itself. By installing a professionally programmed 16250279 PCM, you are not just replacing a part; you are providing a stable and reliable foundation for the entire engine management system, ensuring your workhorse vehicle runs strong for years to come.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I provide my VIN for programming?
After you complete your purchase, you will need to send us your vehicle’s 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). We cannot ship your order until we receive this information, as it is required to program the module correctly for your specific vehicle.
Is any additional programming required after I install it?
No. This module arrives pre-programmed and ready for installation. In most cases, a security relearn procedure may be necessary, which is a simple process that can be done without special tools. Instructions are readily available online for this procedure, often called a “CASE relearn” or “security relearn.”
How can I be sure this fits my vehicle?
Please check the comprehensive fitment list on this page. The most accurate way to ensure compatibility is to match the service number on your current PCM to one of the compatible numbers listed: 16250279, 09366810, or 09355699. Providing your VIN during checkout allows us to perform a final verification.
What are the most common signs of a bad PCM?
Common symptoms include the check engine light staying on, engine stalling or misfiring, poor fuel mileage, harsh or failed transmission shifting, and a complete failure to start the engine. A faulty PCM can also cause a loss of communication with diagnostic scan tools.
What is the process if I need to use the warranty?
This unit is backed by our one-year replacement warranty. If you encounter any issues with the module within one year of purchase, please contact our customer service team. We will guide you through the diagnostic and replacement process to get you a functioning part as quickly as possible.
