An Expert’s Note on VIN Programming
“In vehicles from this era, the PCM is more than just an engine controller—it’s the central hub for the entire vehicle’s electronic network. It communicates with the anti-theft system (VATS/Passlock), the instrument cluster, and the transmission controller. Programming the module with your VIN is not just a suggestion; it’s essential. It ensures all these components recognize each other, preventing no-start conditions and communication errors that would otherwise require complex dealer-level diagnostics. This ‘plug-and-play’ service is the single most important factor for a successful DIY repair.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Where do I provide my VIN?
After you complete your purchase, you can send us a message with your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN. We cannot ship the part until we receive this information, as the programming is a required step.
