Expert Insight: The GM Security System Lockout
A common issue with GMT360 platform vehicles like your Bravada is the GM Passlock security system. A generic, un-programmed PCM will immediately trigger this system, preventing the engine from starting. That’s why our VIN-specific programming is not just a convenience—it’s essential. We handle the complex security handshake programming beforehand, so when you install it, your Bravada recognizes the new module as its own and starts right up.
Don’t let a faulty computer keep your reliable SUV off the road. This 2003-2004 Bravada PCM Programmed module is the most effective and efficient way to solve complex engine management problems and restore the smooth, dependable performance you expect.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to do any extra programming after installation?
No. This PCM is shipped fully programmed to your VIN and is ready for installation. In some cases, a ‘Crankshaft Variation Relearn’ (also known as a CASE Relearn) may be required to clear a specific trouble code, which can be performed with a capable bi-directional scan tool.
Where do I find my vehicle’s VIN?
Your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) can be found on the driver’s side of the dashboard (visible through the windshield), on the driver’s side door jamb sticker, or on your vehicle’s registration and insurance documents.
How do I know for sure that my PCM is the problem?
While the symptoms listed are strong indicators, we always recommend a thorough diagnosis by a qualified mechanic. Common checks include verifying power and ground signals to the PCM and checking for communication issues with a professional scan tool.
Will this fit other GM SUVs besides the Bravada?
Yes, this PCM is compatible with a wide range of GM vehicles from this era that use the same 4.2L inline-6 engine, including the Chevrolet Trailblazer, GMC Envoy, Buick Rainier, Isuzu Ascender, and Saab 9-7X. Please verify your original part number matches one of the numbers listed.
What is the process after I place my order?
After you purchase the PCM, you must provide us with your vehicle’s VIN. We will then program the module with the latest GM software matched to your VIN and ship it out to you, typically within 1-2 business days.
