Do you have to a Chevy Dealer flash computer on Venture?
No, you don't *have* to take a Chevrolet Venture to a Chevy dealer to have its computer flashed. While a dealer has the official software and tools, many independent mechanics and even some specialized auto parts stores have the capability to flash the computer (ECM/PCM) on a Venture. However, it's crucial that whoever performs the flash has the correct software and understands the process to avoid damaging the vehicle's computer. Using incorrect software can brick the ECM, leaving you with a non-functional vehicle and a very expensive repair bill.
