From the Technician’s Bench: “We see these P59-style PCMs all the time. A common failure point is the internal processor, which throws a P0601 code and instantly fails an emissions test. Many owners think it’s a complex wiring nightmare, but 9 times out of 10, the fix is a properly programmed module. The key is the programming. A junkyard unit won’t work because it’s not matched to the vehicle’s security system or options. Our VIN-flashing process makes this a simple, bolt-in repair that gets the vehicle back on the road fast.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to do anything after I install this PCM?
In most cases, you will need to perform a security relearn procedure, also known as a CASE relearn. This is a simple process that can be done without any special tools and typically involves turning the key on and off in a specific sequence. We include instructions to guide you through this 10-30 minute procedure.
Where do I provide my VIN?
Please provide your 17-digit VIN in the notes section during checkout or send it to us in a message after you place your order. We cannot program and ship your module without this information.
Is this a brand new part?
This is a genuine OEM component that has been meticulously inspected, tested, and prepared by our expert technicians to ensure it meets or exceeds original factory specifications. It is programmed with the latest software for your vehicle.
How do I know for sure that my PCM is the problem?
While the symptoms listed are strong indicators, a definitive diagnosis from a qualified technician is the best way to be certain. Diagnostic trouble codes like P0601, P0606, or multiple communication (U-series) codes are very common signs of a failed PCM.
What does ‘plug and play’ truly mean?
It means the unit arrives flashed with your vehicle’s specific software. Once you perform the security relearn, no further action or dealership visits are required. The module will be ready to start and run the vehicle correctly.
What if my service number isn’t on the list?
The list provided covers the most common service numbers. If your number is not listed, please contact us with your VIN and the service number from your original module. We can verify compatibility for you.
