End Your Engine Troubles with a VIN-Programmed Solution
Is your late-90s GM vehicle suffering from baffling engine problems, a persistent check engine light, or unpredictable stalling? You’re not alone. The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) is the brain of your engine, and when it fails, it can cause a host of frustrating issues that are difficult to diagnose. This quality-tested, used OEM 1999-2000 GM 09361735 PCM is the definitive, affordable solution to restore your car’s reliability and get you back on the road with confidence.
Common Symptoms & Your Solution
A failing PCM can manifest in numerous ways, often mimicking other sensor or component failures. If you’re experiencing any of the following, a faulty module is a likely culprit:
- Persistent Check Engine Light: Especially with internal module error codes like P0601, P0602, P0603, P0604, P0605, or P0606.
- Engine Performance Issues: Unexplained stalling, rough idling, hesitation during acceleration, or a sudden drop in fuel economy.
- No-Start Condition: The engine cranks but refuses to start, even with a good battery and starter.
- Erratic Transmission Behavior: Harsh or delayed shifting, as the PCM also controls transmission functions.
- Communication Errors: Your mechanic’s scan tool is unable to communicate with the PCM.
This module is the direct fix for these problems. We take a genuine, used OEM computer and flash it with the latest official GM software updates, programmed specifically to your vehicle’s unique Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). This ensures it works seamlessly with your car’s systems right out of the box.

Expert Insight: Why VIN Programming is Non-Negotiable
On these 1999-2000 GM vehicles, the PCM is the heart of the vehicle’s security system (often called PassLock or PassKey II). It’s in constant communication with the Body Control Module (BCM) and the ignition cylinder. Simply swapping in a module from another car won’t workโthe security mismatch will prevent the engine from starting. That’s why our VIN programming service is so critical. We pre-load your car’s exact information, making the module recognizable to your other components. This saves you a tow to the dealer and hundreds in diagnostic and programming fees.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to do any programming myself?
No. We program the module to the VIN you provide before shipping. The only step you may need to perform is a simple security relearn procedure, which involves turning the key on for 10 minutes, off for 10 seconds, and repeating two more times. This takes about 30 minutes and requires no special tools.
Where do I provide my vehicle’s VIN?
After you complete your purchase, you can add your 17-digit VIN to the order notes or reply to your order confirmation email. We cannot ship your part until we receive the VIN, as the programming is essential.
Is this a brand-new part?
No, this is a high-quality, fully tested used OEM computer sourced from a salvaged vehicle. This allows us to provide a reliable, perfectly compatible part at a fraction of the cost of a new one from a dealership.
Will this fix my specific check engine light code?
This PCM is the correct solution for internal module failure codes (typically P0601-P0606). While it can resolve many other issues, it’s crucial to ensure your vehicle has been properly diagnosed. A faulty PCM can sometimes be misdiagnosed when the real issue is a bad sensor or wiring.
What if I have a supercharged Grand Prix or Bonneville?
This module is compatible with both naturally aspirated and supercharged (L67) 3.8L engines from this era. Our VIN-specific programming ensures that the correct fuel and timing maps for your exact engine configuration are loaded onto the computer.
