Expert Insight: The Brain of Your Northstar V8
The 4.6L Northstar V8 found in these Bonneville, DeVille, and Seville models is a complex and powerful engine.

This is why a properly programmed 2004-2005 Bonneville PCM is critical for long-term reliability.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to do anything after I install this PCM?
In most cases, you will need to perform a simple security relearn procedure, also known as a key relearn. This can typically be done without any special tools and involves a sequence of turning the key in the ignition. Instructions are widely available online or in your vehicle’s service manual. This syncs the new PCM with your car’s anti-theft system.
How do I provide you with my Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)?
After you complete your purchase, please send us a message with your 17-digit VIN. We cannot program and ship your module until we receive this information. Please double-check the VIN for accuracy to ensure a perfect match.
Is this a new part?
No, this is a high-quality used computer that has been sourced from a salvaged vehicle. Each unit is carefully inspected to ensure it is fully functional before being programmed and shipped to you.
Will this fix my transmission shifting problems?
The PCM is responsible for controlling the transmission’s shift points and line pressure. If your shifting problems are caused by a faulty computer, this part will resolve them. However, it will not fix mechanical issues within the transmission itself.
What vehicles does this 2004-2005 Bonneville PCM fit?
