Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to do any programming myself?
No. We handle all the programming before shipping. We use your vehicle’s VIN to load the correct, updated GM software onto the module. It arrives ready for installation.
Is this a simple plug-and-play installation?
For most vehicles, yes. After installing the PCM, you will need to perform a security relearn procedure (also known as a CASE relearn or anti-theft relearn). This procedure is simple, requires no special tools, and instructions are readily available online or can be provided upon request. It typically involves a sequence of turning the key on and off.
How do I provide my VIN?
After you complete your purchase, you will need to send us your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). You can typically reply to your order confirmation email or use the contact seller feature. We cannot ship your part until we receive the VIN.
Will this fix my specific problem?
This PCM will correct issues directly caused by a failing computer. While it is the solution for a wide range of drivability and electrical problems, we always recommend a proper diagnosis by a qualified mechanic to confirm the PCM is the point of failure before ordering.
Is this part compatible with other vehicles?
Yes, this module is compatible with a wide range of 2003 GM trucks and vans, including the Sierra, Yukon, Suburban, Savana, and Express models with corresponding engine options. Please see the detailed compatibility list on this page to confirm it fits your specific vehicle.
