By providing your VIN at checkout, you’re not just buying a part; you’re getting a complete, vehicle-specific solution that makes your Programmed 1999-2002 Savana 1500 PCM replacement a successful one.
This module is the brain of your vehicle’s engine and transmission. Getting a correctly prepared unit is essential for a lasting repair. We ensure every Programmed 1999-2002 Savana 1500 PCM we ship is a reliable, effective solution to get your workhorse back in service.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a PCM and what does it do?
The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) is the main computer that controls your vehicle’s engine and transmission. It manages critical functions like fuel injection, ignition timing, and transmission shift points to ensure performance, efficiency, and low emissions.
How do I provide my VIN?
After you complete your purchase, simply send us a message with your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). We cannot ship the module until we have this information, as the programming is specific to your vehicle.
Is any additional programming needed after installation?
No dealership programming is needed. The module arrives fully flashed. However, you will likely need to perform a security relearn procedure, which can often be done without special tools. This syncs the new PCM with your vehicle’s anti-theft system. Instructions for this are widely available online for your specific model.
How can I be sure this fits my vehicle?
Please review the detailed fitment list in the description. This module is a direct replacement for the part numbers listed, including 16263494. As long as your vehicle is on the list and requires one of these part numbers, it is the correct component.
What happens if I install a module that isn’t programmed?
An unprogrammed module will not work correctly. At best, the vehicle may not start due to the anti-theft system. At worst, it could run with incorrect parameters, potentially causing damage to the engine or transmission. Our pre-programming service eliminates these risks.
What tools are needed for installation?
Installation typically requires basic hand tools, such as a socket set and ratchet. The most important first step is to disconnect the vehicle’s battery. The module is usually located in the engine bay and is secured with a few bolts and has several electrical connectors.
