An Expert’s Note on VIN Programming
As a technician, I’ve seen countless vehicle owners try to save a few dollars by installing a used computer from a salvage yard. The problem is that a PCM is not a simple part; it’s the brain of your engine, and it’s coded specifically to the vehicle it came from. Without proper VIN programming, it simply will not work correctly. It can cause immobilizer issues, incorrect transmission shifting, and a host of other problems. Our process of flashing the module with your VIN and the latest factory software isn’t just a convenience—it’s the critical step that ensures the repair is done right the first time, giving you the reliable, long-term fix your vehicle deserves.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I provide my vehicle’s VIN?
After you complete your purchase, we will send you a message requesting your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN. We cannot ship your order until we receive this information, as it is essential for programming the module correctly.
Will I need to do anything else after installing this PCM?
In most cases, you will need to perform a security relearn procedure (also known as a CASE relearn or anti-theft relearn). This is a simple process that can often be done without special tools and typically takes 10-30 minutes. We can provide instructions for this procedure.

How can I be sure my old PCM is the problem?
The symptoms listed above are strong indicators of a failing PCM. However, we always recommend having your vehicle professionally diagnosed to rule out other potential issues, such as faulty wiring, sensors, or fuel system components. This ensures you are ordering the correct part for your repair.
