Frequently Asked Questions
How do I provide my vehicle’s VIN?
After you complete your purchase, you will need to send us your 17-digit VIN. You can typically add it as a note during checkout or reply to your order confirmation email. We cannot ship your part until we receive your VIN, as the programming is specific to your vehicle.
Is any additional programming required after installation?
No. This PCM comes fully programmed to your VIN. In most cases, it is a simple plug-and-play installation. However, some vehicles may require a security relearn procedure (often called a CASE relearn or anti-theft relearn), which can typically be done without special tools. Instructions are widely available online for this simple procedure.
Is this a new or used part?
This is a high-quality, inspected, and tested original equipment part that has been professionally prepared for your vehicle. Each unit undergoes a thorough check to ensure it meets or exceeds factory specifications before being programmed and shipped.
What if my original part number isn’t on the list?
The part numbers listed are the most common service numbers. GM often has many interchangeable numbers for the same part. As long as your vehicle’s year, make, and model are on the compatibility list, we can program this module for you. The VIN-specific programming is what guarantees compatibility.
How does the warranty work?
This unit is backed by our one-year replacement warranty. If the part fails within one year of the purchase date, we will provide a replacement unit. Please keep your original receipt for warranty claims.
