Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to get this PCM programmed by a dealer?
No. We program the module to your specific VIN before shipping. It will arrive ready to install, saving you a costly trip to the dealership.
What information do you need from me?
After you place your order, you must provide us with your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN (Vehicle Identification Number). This is absolutely essential for us to program the module correctly for your specific vehicle.
Will this fix my check engine light?
If the check engine light is caused by an internal failure of your original PCM (common codes include P0601 through P0606), this module is the correct solution. However, you should always diagnose the codes properly to ensure the PCM is the root cause of the issue before ordering.
Is any additional setup required after installation?
In some GM vehicles, a security relearn procedure (often called CASE relearn or anti-theft relearn) may be necessary after installation. This is a simple procedure that can typically be done without special tools, and instructions can easily be found online or in your vehicle’s service manual.
How do I know if this part number is correct for my vehicle?
This Programmed 28042802 PCM is compatible with the service numbers listed in the product description. The best way to ensure compatibility is to match one of those numbers to the one on your current module. If you’re unsure, providing your VIN allows us to verify the correct fitment for you.
