Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to get this part programmed?
No. We handle all the programming for you before shipment. This ECM will arrive at your door ready to be installed, programmed specifically to the VIN you provide. This saves you time and the expense of a dealership visit.
How do I provide my VIN?
After you complete your purchase, you will need to send us your vehicle’s 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). You can typically find this on your vehicle’s registration, insurance card, or on the driver’s side dashboard viewable through the windshield.
Is this a difficult part to install?
For someone with moderate mechanical experience, replacing the ECM is a straightforward process. It typically involves disconnecting the battery, unplugging the electrical connectors from the old ECM, unbolting it, and then installing the new one in the reverse order. However, we always recommend consulting a repair manual for your specific vehicle or seeking professional installation if you are unsure.
Will this fix my check engine light?
If the check engine light is caused by a faulty ECM (often indicated by specific diagnostic trouble codes), then this part is the correct solution. It’s essential to have your vehicle properly diagnosed to confirm the ECM is the root cause of the issue before purchasing.
What if my original part has a different number on it?
This ECM, part number 12583698, is the correct fit for the 2004-2006 Saturn VUE with the 3.5L engine. Part numbers can sometimes be superseded. As long as your vehicle matches this specific year, model, and engine size, this module will be the correct, programmed replacement.
