Pictured here we have a PCM (powertrain control module), a very expensive replacement should it go bad.
Vehicles today can have as many as 28 individual computer modules like this one controlling different
vehicular systems. While they are covered under the factory warranty, once the vehicle has gone beyond
warranty coverage in mileage or time, such devices are not covered. Here’s where an extended warranty is
worth its weight in real cash. Providing the extended warranty covers these electronic devices. Note, I stressed
the word providing; always, always make sure you understand exactly what’s covered in your extended
warranty before plunking down the cash. It’s just smart vehicle ownership, period.
