The used computer i got from an auto wrecker who took the PCM from another 2000 saturn .The unit # XXXXX different so I need to get the PCM flashed to this vehicles VIN .The engine does now have the spark working and the injectors are pulsing ok.The security light is always flashing indicating we have a communicastion problem .Ive tried all day to get the passlock BCM and PCM to connect by having the key turned in the on position for 30 min then key off then key on 3x for the relearn procedure .I have followed your techs'' Ivan'' relearn procedure exactly on the sheet .The car continues to start and stalls after 2 -3 seconds .Im not paying anymore $ for this I hope as we are still working on the same problem.ThanksCustomer

Ok... if in fact the computer needs to be flashed, this is the absolute first thing that needs to be done! Hands down! Nothing else will work correctly and you will be chasing your tail trying to figure this problem out.

 

Get the computer flashed with the correct vin number and go from there.

 

Let me know!
