Expert Insight: The Critical Role of VIN Programming
“Back in the early 2000s, GM’s Passlock and Passkey anti-theft systems became much more integrated with the PCM. Simply swapping a module from another vehicle won’t work—the car won’t start because the PCM doesn’t recognize the security key’s signal. By programming this Programmed 2001-2003 Venture PCM 09360210 to your exact VIN, we ensure the anti-theft system, instrument cluster, and other modules all recognize it as the ‘correct’ brain. This pre-programming is what makes this a true plug-and-play solution, saving you from complex procedures or costly dealer intervention.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Will I need to do anything after installing this PCM?
In most cases with these GM vehicles, you will need to perform a simple security relearn procedure after installation. This process, which typically involves turning the key on and off in a specific sequence, can be done in your driveway in about 30 minutes and does not require any special tools. We include instructions to guide you through it.
How do I provide you with my vehicle’s VIN?
After you complete your purchase, simply reply to your order confirmation email with your 17-digit VIN, or send it to us through our website’s contact form with your order number. We cannot ship your part until we receive your VIN.
Is this the correct part for my vehicle?
This module is compatible with a wide range of GM models. The best way to ensure a perfect match is to check the part number on your original module. This unit replaces part numbers 09360210, 12209614, and 12202600. Please review the detailed fitment list on this page.
Why is a pre-programmed module better than one from a junkyard?
A module from a salvage yard is programmed to a different vehicle’s VIN and options. It will not start your car and contains old software. Our module is professionally tested, cleared, and programmed specifically for your vehicle with the latest GM software updates, ensuring compatibility and optimal performance.
Can a bad PCM cause my transmission to shift poorly?
Absolutely. The PCM controls both the engine and the transmission. It determines shift points based on speed, throttle position, and engine load. A faulty PCM can lead to harsh shifting, delayed engagement, or getting stuck in one gear. This part often resolves those electronic transmission issues.
What if I have a problem after installation?
We are here to help. First, ensure the security relearn procedure was completed successfully. If issues persist, contact our support team. This unit is backed by our one-year replacement warranty for your peace of mind.
