Is Your Vehicle Plagued by Frustrating Electrical Gremlins?
Is your Buick Regal, Grand Prix, or another classic GM vehicle running rough, shifting erratically, or displaying a stubborn check engine light?

Expert Insight: The Critical Role of VIN Programming
On GM vehicles from this era, the PCM is deeply integrated with the vehicle’s anti-theft system (VATS/Pass-Key). Simply swapping a module from another car won’t workโthe vehicle will not start. That’s why our VIN-programming service is essential. We don’t just sell you a part; we provide a fully integrated solution that communicates correctly with your car’s other modules from the moment you connect it. This ensures a successful repair and prevents the common ‘no-start’ condition that frustrates so many DIY mechanics.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to do any programming myself?
No. We program the 1997 Buick Regal PCM to your vehicle’s specific VIN before we ship it. It arrives ready for installation, making the process as simple as possible for you.
How do I provide my VIN?
After you complete your purchase, you will need to send us your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). We cannot ship your module until we receive this information, as it’s crucial for correct programming.
What if my original part number is different?
This module is a direct replacement for part numbers 19109047 and 16227797. As long as your vehicle’s year, make, model, and engine options are on the compatibility list provided, this unit will function perfectly.
Will this fix my specific problem?
This PCM is the solution for a wide range of issues, including many common check engine light codes (like P0601 – Internal Control Module Memory Check Sum Error), poor performance, and shifting problems. While proper vehicle diagnosis is always recommended, a faulty PCM is a very common failure point on these models.
Is an anti-theft relearn procedure required?
On many GM vehicles of this era, a simple security relearn procedure may be necessary after installation to sync the programmed PCM with your key. This procedure typically involves turning the key to the ‘ON’ position for 10-15 minutes and can be done without any special tools. We can provide instructions if needed.
