Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly does a PCM do?
The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) is the central computer that controls all aspects of your vehicle’s engine and transmission. It manages fuel injection, ignition timing, transmission shift points, and emissions systems to ensure the vehicle runs efficiently and reliably.
Do I need to do anything after I install the new PCM?
Yes. After installation, you will need to perform a simple ‘Security Relearn Procedure’ which pairs the new computer to your vehicle’s anti-theft system. This process takes about 30 minutes and requires only your ignition key. We provide easy-to-follow instructions with your order.
How do I provide my vehicle’s VIN?
After you complete your purchase, you will need to send us your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). We cannot program and ship your module without it.
