Powertrain Control Module

2001 Chevrolet Express 1/2 Ton Van V6-4.3L VIN WSECTION Powertrain Control Module
The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) contains the remainder of the logic of the theft deterrent system. If a class 2 message containing a valid password is received from the Passlock(TM) Module, the PCM will continue to allow the fuel injectors to operate. The PCM will allow the fuel injectors to operate until it decides there is no valid password coming from the Passlock(TM) Module. If the PCM does not receive a class 2 message, or receives a class 2 message with an incorrect password, the engine will crank and will not run or will start and stall immediately.
