An Expert’s Note on VIN Programming
“We once had a customer who bought a used computer from a salvage yard for their Chevy Equinox. While it looked identical, the vehicle wouldn’t start. The anti-theft system (PassLock/VATS) in the new computer didn’t recognize the car’s keys, effectively bricking the vehicle. That’s why our VIN-programming service is non-negotiable. We ensure the module is a perfect digital handshake for your specific car, preventing security conflicts and ensuring all systems communicate correctly from the moment you turn the key.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to do any programming myself?
No. This module is fully programmed to the VIN you provide before we ship it. It is designed to be a plug-and-play installation. In some cases, a CASE relearn or security relearn procedure may be necessary, which can be performed with a capable scan tool.
How do I provide my vehicle’s VIN?
After you complete your purchase, you will need to send us your 17-digit VIN. We will provide clear instructions on how to submit this information to ensure a smooth and fast programming process.
What’s the difference between a PCM, ECM, and ECU?
These terms are often used interchangeably. ECM (Engine Control Module) and ECU (Engine Control Unit) typically refer to a computer that only manages engine functions. A PCM (Powertrain Control Module) is more integrated and manages both the engine and the transmission. This part is a PCM.
Will this fix my check engine light?
If the check engine light is caused by an internal failure of your existing PCM (indicated by codes like P0601 or P0606), then this replacement will resolve the issue. It’s crucial to ensure the PCM is the actual point of failure and not another sensor or component.
