Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to do anything after installing the PCM?
In most cases, you will need to perform a security relearn procedure, which can typically be done without special tools and takes about 30 minutes. Instructions are readily available online. Some vehicles may also require a Crankshaft Variation Relearn (CASE learn) with a capable scan tool for optimal performance and to clear a related trouble code, but the vehicle will still run without it.
How do I provide my VIN?
After you complete your purchase, simply send us a message with your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). We cannot ship your order until we receive this information, as it is essential for programming the 2001-2003 Corvette PCM 52369718 correctly for your specific vehicle.
Is this the correct part for my car?
This PCM fits a wide range of GM vehicles. Please check the fitment list on this page and, most importantly, match the part number from your original module to one of the compatible numbers listed (12200411, 12201281, 12576160, 52369718). If you are unsure, contact us with your VIN before ordering.
What are the most common signs of a bad PCM?
The most common symptoms include a check engine light that won’t go away, unexplained engine stalling or misfires, harsh or erratic automatic transmission shifting, and a complete no-start condition where the engine cranks but will not fire. You may also experience network communication errors with a scan tool.
What if my vehicle has performance modifications?
Our programming service installs the latest factory GM calibration for a stock vehicle configuration. This programming is not designed to account for significant performance modifications like aftermarket camshafts, forced induction, or non-stock injectors. This module is intended to restore original factory performance and operation.
