Expert Insight: Why VIN Programming is Non-Negotiable
Back in the day, you could often swap computers between similar cars. That’s not the case anymore. For your 1998 GM vehicle, the PCM is the central hub that talks to everythingโthe engine, the transmission, the anti-lock brakes, and even the anti-theft system. Programming this 1998 Oldsmobile Intrigue PCM 9366314 to your specific VIN is absolutely critical. It ensures the transmission shifts at the right points for your gear ratio, the fuel injectors fire correctly for your engine size, and most importantly, it allows the engine to start by matching the security code stored in your key and body control module. A generic or non-programmed module will, at best, run poorly and, at worst, leave you with a car that won’t start at all.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a PCM and what does it do?
The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) is your vehicle’s main computer. It controls all aspects of the engine and transmission, such as fuel delivery, spark timing, and gear shifting, to ensure optimal performance, fuel economy, and emissions.
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 will then program the module before shipping it to you. You can typically find your VIN on your vehicle’s registration, insurance card, or on a plate on the driver’s side dashboard visible through the windshield.
Is this module difficult to install?
Installation is generally straightforward for someone with basic mechanical skills. It typically involves disconnecting the battery, unplugging the electrical connectors from the old PCM, unbolting it, and then installing the new one in its place. Because we pre-program it, no special computer tools are needed for installation.
Will this fix my check engine light?
If the check engine light is caused by a faulty PCM, then yes, this part will resolve the issue. We recommend having the codes read with a scanner before ordering to confirm the problem is related to the computer. This part, the 1998 Oldsmobile Intrigue PCM 9366314, is a common solution for internal processor failure codes.
What does “plug and play” mean for this part?
“Plug and play” means the module arrives ready to be installed without any additional programming or dealer intervention. We handle all the necessary software flashing based on your VIN, so you can simply install it, reconnect your battery, and start your vehicle.
Do I need to perform a security relearn procedure?
In some cases, a simple security relearn procedure may be necessary after installation. This is a simple process that typically involves turning the key to the ‘ON’ position for 10-15 minutes. We include instructions for this easy procedure if it is required for your vehicle.
