Expert Mechanic’s Tip: Before condemning your PCM, always ensure your battery is fully charged and your alternator is functioning correctly. Low or fluctuating system voltage can sometimes mimic the symptoms of a failed computer. A quick voltage test at the battery terminals while the engine is running (should be 13.5-14.5 volts) can save you from a misdiagnosis.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to send you my old PCM?
No, there is no core charge or need to send us your original module. This is a direct purchase, which simplifies the process and gets your vehicle repaired faster.
What does ‘Plug and Play’ mean?
Because we program the module to your vehicle’s VIN before shipping, it is ready to be installed upon arrival. In most cases, no additional programming is required. However, you will need to perform a security relearn procedure, which is a simple process that can be done without special tools. We include instructions for this procedure.
Where do I provide my VIN?
After you complete your purchase, you will need to send us your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN. You can typically add it as a note during checkout or send it to us in a message referencing your order number. We cannot ship your Pontiac Aztek PCM 12583827 until we receive this information.
Is this compatible with other vehicles?
Yes, this PCM is compatible with a wide array of GM vehicles from 2003-2005, including models like the Impala, Monte Carlo, Grand Am, and Rendezvous. Please check the detailed fitment list on this page to confirm compatibility with your specific make, model, and year.
What is the security relearn procedure?
The security relearn (also known as the anti-theft relearn) syncs the new PCM with your vehicle’s existing anti-theft system. It’s a simple key-on/key-off procedure that typically takes about 30 minutes to complete. Instructions are provided with your order to make it easy.
