Expert Technician’s Tip: After installing your new PCM, a “Security Relearn” procedure is typically required, which you can often do yourself in about 10-15 minutes with just the ignition key. Additionally, for perfect idle quality, some vehicles may benefit from a “Crankshaft Variation Relearn” or “CASE Relearn.” While not always mandatory for the vehicle to run, a professional scan tool is needed for this final step. Addressing this ensures the misfire detection system is perfectly calibrated to your engine.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to do anything after installing this PCM?
Yes. You will need to perform a Security Relearn procedure, which pairs the new PCM to your vehicle’s anti-theft system. This can typically be done without any special tools by cycling the ignition key. Instructions are widely available online for your specific model. Some vehicles may also require a Crankshaft Variation (CASE) Relearn for optimal performance, which requires a compatible scan tool.
How do I provide my VIN number?
After you complete your purchase, you will receive instructions on how to send us your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN. We cannot program and ship your module until we receive this information, so please provide it promptly to avoid delays.
Is this the correct part for my vehicle?
This module is a direct replacement for service number 12200411 and fits a wide variety of 2001-2002 GM vehicles. Please review the detailed fitment list on this page and verify the part number on your original module to ensure perfect compatibility.
What causes a PCM to fail?
PCM failure can be caused by several factors, including electrical shorts in vehicle wiring, voltage spikes from a bad alternator or improper jump-starting, water intrusion, and simple component failure due to age and heat cycles.
Will this fix my transmission shifting problems?
In many cases, yes. The PCM controls all electronic functions of the transmission. If your shifting issues are caused by a faulty computer, this part is the solution. However, harsh shifting can also be caused by mechanical issues within the transmission itself, so a proper diagnosis is always recommended.
