Fix It

The Pontiac Grand Am has many parts incorporated in its design. Locating a large part is simple because it stands out. However, if youre trying to locate the Powertrain Control Module, this may cause a level of difficulty.

Significance of PCM

The PCM is an electrical computer that stabilizes the many sensors that your Pontiac Grand Am has. Without the PCM, things such as coolant malfunctions and overheating would occur.

Location of the PCM

The PCM on any Pontiac Grand Am is located behind the glove box. You must remove the screws attaching the glove box to physically see the PCM. Use caution if youre going to remove the glove box door.

Problem With Your PCM

If you are aware that the PCM is damaged or malfunctioning on your Pontiac Grand Am, see a professional mechanic or Pontiac car dealer about fixing it. Any electrical component of a vehicle must be handled by a professional to ensure safety of both you and your vehicle.

If you have ever wondered what you would have to do to remove the rear seat from your 2001 Grand Am, then the answer is, "not very much." The rear seats in a 2001 Grand Am are held in by clips and nuts that you can easily access. Whether you are modifying your car, or if you would like to do some thorough cleaning, you will be more successful if you know exactly how to remove your seats before you start your project.

Instructions

1

Remove the bottom section. Lift up the bottom cushion at the two front corners. Two clips that hold the cushion on are now accessible and can be detached. Slide the cushion forward and out.

2

Remove the top section. Remove the two nuts that are located at the bottom corners of the top portion of the seat. Pull the seat so that the tabs where the nuts were can be clear of the studs. Pull the seat up and toward the front of the car so that the upper clips will become disconnected. The top portion of the seat can now be removed.

3

Clean up any mess. There will likely be a lot of built-up dirt and messes underneath the seat cushions. Keep some cleaning supplies handy for this.
