Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to do anything after I install this PCM?
While the main programming is complete, you will need to perform a security relearn procedure (also known as a key relearn or anti-theft relearn). This process syncs the new PCM with your vehicle’s anti-theft system and can typically be done without special tools in about 30 minutes. Instructions are readily available online or in service manuals.
How do I provide my VIN?
After you complete your purchase, simply send us a message with your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). We cannot ship your part until we receive this information, as it is essential for the programming process.
Is this part truly plug-and-play?
Yes, once the security relearn procedure is completed, the unit is ready to go. All engine and transmission performance files are pre-loaded based on your VIN, so no further dealership flashing is required.
What if my original part number is different?
This module is a direct replacement for several service numbers, including 12587465, 12586547, and 15576920. As long as your vehicle is listed in the compatibility chart (2004-05 DeVille, 2004 Seville, 2004-05 Bonneville 4.6L), this programmed unit will work for you.
Will this fix my specific check engine light codes?
A faulty PCM can cause a wide range of diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs), especially those related to sensor circuits, communication errors (U-codes), and processor faults. This replacement 2004-2005 Cadillac DeVille PCM is the correct solution for internal module failures. However, you should always confirm that the issue is not with a sensor or wiring harness first.
