Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly does the PCM do?
The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) is your vehicle’s main computer. It controls all aspects of the engine and transmission, such as fuel injection, spark timing, and shift points, to ensure optimal performance, fuel economy, and emissions.
How do I provide my VIN for programming?
After you complete your purchase, you will receive instructions on how to send us your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN. We cannot ship your part until we receive this information, as the programming is essential for the part to work in your vehicle.
Will this fix my specific check engine light codes?
This PCM is a common solution for internal module failure codes like P0601 (Internal Control Module Memory Check Sum Error) and other communication-related faults. However, you should always have your vehicle properly diagnosed to ensure the PCM is the root cause of your issue before ordering.
Is any additional programming needed after installation?
In most cases, no. Our VIN programming handles the critical engine and transmission software. However, on some vehicles, a security relearn procedure (often called CASE relearn or anti-theft relearn) may be required. This can typically be done without special tools, and instructions are widely available.
Is this part compatible with my 2001 GMC Sierra?
Yes, this module is compatible with a very wide range of 2001-2002 GM trucks, vans, and SUVs, including the GMC Sierra. Please review the detailed compatibility list on this page to confirm your specific model and engine combination.
