- Engine Stalling or Misfiring: Unpredictable engine behavior that makes driving unsafe.
- Poor Fuel Economy: The engine isn’t running efficiently, costing you more at the pump.

An Expert’s Note on GM Security Systems
“Back in the late 90s, GM’s Passlock and VATS security systems were becoming standard. These systems link the PCM directly to the ignition and BCM. That’s why you can’t just grab a module from a junkyard and expect it to workโthe vehicle simply won’t start. Our VIN programming service is critical because it ensures this programmed 16250279 PCM correctly communicates with your vehicle’s specific anti-theft system, saving you from a massive headache and the need for specialized dealer tools.”
Don’t settle for a vehicle that’s unreliable. Get the correctly programmed 16250279 PCM and restore the dependable performance you need to get the job done. Order yours today!
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to do any programming myself?
No. This module is completely plug-and-play. We flash it with your vehicle’s VIN and the latest GM software before it ships, so it’s ready for installation upon arrival.
Where do I provide my vehicle’s VIN?
After you complete your purchase, we will send you an email requesting your VIN. You can simply reply to that email, and our technicians will handle the rest.
What is a ‘CASE Relearn’ and will I need to do it?
A CASE (Crankshaft Angle Sensor Error) Relearn may be required after installation to sync the new PCM with the crankshaft position sensor. This procedure is simple and can be performed with a compatible high-level scan tool. It ensures the most accurate timing and prevents misfire codes.
How can I be sure this fits my vehicle?
The best way to ensure compatibility is to match the service number on your current module to one of the compatible part numbers listed: 16250279, 09366810, or 09355699. Please also review the detailed fitment list on this page.
How long does the programming process take?
Programming is typically completed within 1-2 business days after we receive your VIN. This ensures we can properly flash and verify the module before shipping it to you.
