Powertrain Control Module Reprogramming in Berkeley, CA - Oceanworks Berkeley

Powertrain Control Module Reprogramming in Berkeley, CA

At Oceanworks Auto Repair in Berkeley we offer comprehensive car care, including PCM reprogramming and replacement. PCM reprogramming can solve a number of engine and transmission problems. Symptoms of a PCM problem can include transmission issues, check engine light turning “on”, decreased fuel efficiency, poor performance, and/or emission test failure. Our nationally ASE certified mechanics can diagnose and fix all of these problems.

Once our mechanics test the vehicle, we will know whether reprogramming is the answer, or if your vehicle needs powertrain control module replacement. While PCM reprogramming is usually sufficient to fix the issues we find, from time to time, the PCM replacement (for example, due to a faulty chip) can become a necessity.

Berkeley auto care facility offers a full range of emission controls and powertrain diagnostics and repairs. Our technicians, nationally ASE certified, are equipped with state-of-the-art diagnostic tools, including those necessary for PCM reprogramming. Before we perform PCM reprogramming, we first have to find the root cause of the problem, and to convince ourselves that reprogramming will solve the issue. Unfortunately, the symptoms generated by PCM problems can also be caused by many other conditions. Hence, we first need to perform thorough testing to find out if the PCM is indeed at fault.
