Get Your Van Running Right Again
Is your truck or van giving you headaches? If you’re dealing with frustrating issues like stalling, poor fuel economy, a persistent check engine light, or a vehicle that just won’t start, a failing Powertrain Control Module (PCM) is often the culprit.

Expert Insight: The Importance of Correct Programming
On these late-90s GM vehicles, the PCM is the brain of the entire operation, controlling everything from fuel mixture to transmission shift points. More importantly, it’s integrated with the vehicle’s anti-theft system (VATS/Passlock). An incorrectly programmed or non-programmed computer will prevent the vehicle from starting, even if the part is perfectly functional. Our process of flashing the unit to your specific VIN before shipment eliminates this frustrating roadblock, saving you a trip to the dealer and ensuring a much smoother repair experience.
Don’t let a faulty computer keep your reliable GM truck or van off the road. This pre-programmed 1999 Savana 1500 PCM is the smart, dependable fix you need. Simply provide your VIN during checkout, and we’ll handle the complex programming so you can focus on the simple installation. Get your vehicle back to its peak operational state and order with confidence today.
