Expert Insight: The Critical Role of VIN Programming
Many people consider buying a used computer from a salvage yard to save money, but this often leads to more problems. A PCM is not a one-size-fits-all part. It’s programmed with specific information about the original vehicle’s engine, transmission, and options. Installing a non-programmed or incorrectly programmed module can result in a no-start condition or damage to other components. Our process of flashing the 2006 HHR PCM 12599714 with your exact VIN ensures that the computer communicates perfectly with your car’s systems, just like the original one did from the factory.
