Get Your GM Vehicle Running Smoothly Again
Is your early 2000s GM vehicle suffering from frustrating issues like a persistent check engine light, poor fuel economy, stalling, or a complete no-start condition? These are classic signs of a failing Powertrain Control Module (PCM), the electronic brain of your engine. This isn’t just an inconvenience; it’s a problem that affects performance, reliability, and safety. Our pre-programmed engine computer is the definitive, hassle-free solution to get you back on the road with confidence.
Common Symptoms & Your Solution
A failing PCM can manifest in numerous ways, often leading to misdiagnosis and costly, unnecessary repairs. If you’re experiencing any of the following, this module is your answer:
- Erratic engine performance, including rough idling or hesitation.
- Random stalling or difficulty starting the engine.
- A noticeable drop in fuel efficiency.
- Check Engine Light (CEL) with Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) like P0601, P0602, P0605, or other communication errors.
- Failure to pass emissions testing.
This replacement 2000-2001 Bonneville PCM 09380717 is meticulously programmed to your vehicle’s specific Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), ensuring it works seamlessly with your car’s existing systems right out of the box.

An Expert’s Note on GM PCMs: The PCM in these GM vehicles, especially those with the venerable 3.8L V6, is a robust unit. However, after two decades of heat cycles and vibrations in the engine bay, internal solder joints can develop micro-fractures and capacitors can degrade. This often leads to intermittent electrical faults that are maddening to diagnose. Replacing the entire module with a properly programmed unit like this one is the most reliable and permanent fix, solving the root cause of the problem instead of just chasing symptoms.
Frequently Asked Questions
What do I need to do after I place my order?
After you complete your purchase, you must provide us with your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN. You can typically reply to your order confirmation email with this information. We cannot program or ship your module without the VIN.
Is this unit truly plug-and-play?
Yes, because we program it to your VIN, it is designed to be plug-and-play. In some cases, your vehicle may require a simple, 10-15 minute security relearn procedure (often called a CASE relearn or crankshaft position variation relearn) which can be done without any special tools. Instructions are widely available online for this process.
Will I need to have my keys reprogrammed?
For most vehicles on the fitment list, the security information is stored in the Body Control Module (BCM), not the PCM. Therefore, you will not need to reprogram your keys. The security relearn procedure, if needed, syncs the modules.
Where can I find my vehicle’s VIN?
Your VIN is located on a metal tag on the driver’s side of the dashboard (visible through the windshield), on the driver’s side door jamb sticker, and on your vehicle’s registration and insurance documents.
Does this part fit models other than the Pontiac Bonneville?
Absolutely. This 2000-2001 Bonneville PCM 09380717 is compatible with a wide range of GM vehicles from that era, including the Buick Regal, Pontiac Grand Prix, Chevrolet Camaro, and many others. Please carefully check the detailed fitment list on this page to confirm it is the correct part for your specific model and engine.
What does the one-year replacement warranty cover?
Our one-year replacement warranty covers the module itself against any programming or hardware failures. If the unit fails within one year of the purchase date, we will provide a replacement unit. This gives you a full year of security in your repair.
