Expert Insight: The ‘Programmed to VIN’ Advantage
“I’ve seen countless DIY mechanics and even professional shops get stuck after installing a junkyard computer. They get the truck to crank, but it won’t stay running or has a security light on. That’s because on these late-90s GM vehicles, the PCM is tied to the vehicle’s security system (Passlock/VATS). By programming this module to your specific VIN before we ship it, we handle that critical step for you. In most cases, this avoids a complicated ‘security relearn’ procedure or a costly trip to a dealer. It’s the closest you can get to a true plug-and-play fix, saving you hours of frustration and diagnostic headaches.”

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I provide my VIN number?
After you complete your purchase, you will receive an order confirmation email. Please reply directly to that email with your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). We cannot program and ship your module without it.
Is this a brand new computer?
No. This is a used, genuine OEM computer that has been carefully removed from a salvaged vehicle. We test it for functionality and then program it to your vehicle’s specifications. This provides OEM quality and reliability at a significant savings compared to a new part.
Will this fix my check engine light?
If the check engine light is caused by a faulty PCM (with codes like P0600-P0606), this part is the correct solution. However, many other issues can cause a check engine light. It is always best to have your vehicle properly diagnosed before ordering to ensure you are purchasing the correct part for your specific problem.
Will I need to do anything after I install it?
Because we pre-program the unit to your VIN, it is typically a plug-and-play installation. However, on some GM models, a simple ‘security relearn’ procedure may be necessary. This procedure can be done without any special tools and instructions are readily available online.

This unit fits a wide range of GM trucks, vans, and SUVs from approximately 1998 to 1999.

Please refer to the detailed compatibility list on this page to confirm it matches your exact model and options.
