Is Your Family Minivan Running Rough?
There’s nothing more stressful than a vehicle you can’t rely on, especially when it’s the one you trust for school runs, grocery trips, and family outings. If your Chevy Venture or other GM vehicle is suddenly stalling, shifting erratically, or refusing to start, a failing Powertrain Control Module (PCM) is often the culprit. Ignoring these signs can lead to worsening performance, poor fuel economy, and even leave you stranded. This isn’t just an inconvenience; it’s a matter of safety and peace of mind. You need a reliable solution that gets you back on the road without a complicated and expensive trip to the dealership.
Common Symptoms & Your Solution
A faulty engine computer can cause a cascade of frustrating issues. You might be experiencing a persistent Check Engine Light with codes like P0601, P0602, or P0605, which point directly to an internal module failure. Other common symptoms include:
- Unexplained stalling or cutting out while driving
- Harsh or unpredictable automatic transmission shifting
- Complete no-start condition where the engine cranks but won’t fire
- Noticeable decrease in fuel efficiency
- Communication errors with diagnostic scan tools
This is the definitive solution. We are offering a genuine, used OEM 1999 Venture PCM 09361735 that is professionally programmed to your vehicle’s specific Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). This critical step ensures that the computer communicates perfectly with your engine, transmission, and security system, making the installation process straightforward and effective.

An Expert’s Insight: The End of Guesswork
As a technician with over 20 years on the floor, I remember the days of swapping modules and hoping for the best. With older GM vehicles, the anti-theft system (like Passlock or Passkey) was a major hurdle. An unprogrammed module would mean a dead vehicle and a tow to the dealer. What we offer here completely removes that barrier. By programming the 1999 Venture PCM 09361735 to your VIN before it ships, we handle the complex part for you. You receive a component that is ready to be installed and, after a simple security relearn procedure (that you can do in your driveway), your vehicle is back to life. It turns a potentially complicated electronic repair into a manageable DIY job.
Don’t let a faulty computer dictate your family’s schedule. Take control with this simple, reliable, and affordable solution. Once you purchase, simply provide us with your vehicle’s VIN, and we’ll handle the rest. This 1999 Venture PCM 09361735 is your first step towards a smooth-running and dependable vehicle once again.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to do any programming myself?
No. The module arrives fully programmed to your vehicle’s VIN. You may need to perform a simple security relearn procedure, which typically involves turning the key on and off in a specific sequence. We can provide instructions for this easy process.
How do I provide my VIN number?
After you complete your purchase, you will need to send us your 17-digit VIN. We will follow up with instructions, or you can add it as a note during checkout. We cannot ship the part until we have your VIN to program it.
Is this a new part?
No, this is a thoroughly tested, genuine OEM computer that was sourced from a salvaged vehicle. This ensures OEM quality and fitment while providing a significant cost saving.
Will this fix my car for sure?
This PCM will correct issues directly caused by a failing engine computer, including specific internal error codes. However, it’s crucial to ensure your vehicle’s other issues (like bad wiring or faulty sensors) have been properly diagnosed and addressed, as a PCM cannot fix a separate mechanical or electrical problem.
What is the security relearn procedure?
For most GM vehicles of this era, it’s a simple 10-30 minute process. It usually involves turning the ignition to the ‘ON’ position for 10 minutes, then ‘OFF’ for 10 seconds, and repeating this cycle three times. This allows your vehicle’s anti-theft system to recognize the new computer.
Will this fit models other than the Venture?
Yes, this PCM fits a wide range of GM vehicles from around 1999-2000. Please see the detailed compatibility list on this page to confirm it is the correct part for your specific make, model, and engine option.
