An Expert’s Note on PCM Replacement
As a technician, I’ve seen countless vehicle owners try to save a few dollars by pulling a computer from a junkyard. More often than not, this leads to bigger headaches. A used module will have the wrong VIN, incorrect calibration for your engine and transmission, and—most importantly—will trigger the anti-theft system, preventing the vehicle from starting. Our Programmed 16263494 PCM bypasses all these issues. It’s not just a part; it’s a complete, reliable repair solution that ensures your vehicle runs exactly as the manufacturer intended.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I provide my VIN?
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 vehicle.
Will I need to do anything after I install it?
In most GM vehicles of this era, you will need to perform a simple security relearn procedure, which can be done without any special tools. This process syncs the new module to your vehicle’s anti-theft system. We will provide easy-to-follow instructions for this procedure.
Is this really a plug-and-play part?
Yes, because we program it to your VIN, it is designed to be a plug-and-play solution. Once the security relearn is complete, no further programming or dealer intervention is required. It’s the most straightforward way to replace your faulty Programmed 16263494 PCM.
What happens if I install a module that isn’t programmed?
An unprogrammed module from another vehicle will not work correctly. It can cause the engine to run poorly, the transmission to shift incorrectly, and will almost certainly activate the anti-theft system, leaving you with a vehicle that won’t start.
Will this fix my check engine light?
If the check engine light is caused by an internal failure of the old PCM (verified with codes like P0601, P0605, etc.), then this new module is the correct fix. It is essential to ensure that any other vehicle issues (like faulty sensors or wiring) have been addressed first.
