- Transmission Problems: Harsh or delayed shifting, or getting stuck in one gear.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to do any programming myself?
No. This module arrives fully programmed to your vehicle’s VIN and is ready for installation right out of the box. It is a plug-and-drive solution.
What information do you need from me?
After you place your order, we will need the 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) from your truck or van. This ensures we load the exact correct software for your specific vehicle configuration.
Where can I find my VIN?
Your VIN can be found on a metal plate on the driver’s side of the dashboard (visible through the windshield), on the sticker in the driver’s side door jamb, and on your vehicle’s registration and insurance documents.
Will this fix my check engine light?
This module will resolve any check engine light codes directly related to a faulty PCM, such as internal processor errors. However, if the light is on for other reasons (e.g., a bad oxygen sensor), those issues will need to be addressed separately.
What about my vehicle’s security system?
In many cases, no additional steps are needed. However, some GM vehicles of this era may require a simple security relearn procedure after installation, which typically involves turning the key on and off in a specific sequence. We can provide instructions for this straightforward process.
