Expert Insight: Why VIN Programming is Non-Negotiable
On these 90s GM vehicles, the PCM is integrated with the Vehicle Anti-Theft System (VATS) or Passlock system. Simply installing a module from another car will result in a no-start condition, as the security credentials won’t match. Our VIN programming service handles this critical step for you. We ensure the PCM is correctly configured to communicate with your car’s ignition and security system, saving you from a dead-on-arrival part and the headache of a car that won’t run. This is the key difference between a quick fix and a lasting repair for your 1997 Lumina PCM 19109047.
