Frequently Asked Questions
How do I provide my VIN for programming?
After you complete your purchase, you can send us a message with your 17-digit VIN. We cannot ship the module until we receive this information, as the programming is essential for the part to function in your vehicle.
Is any additional programming required after installation?
While the core engine programming is complete, you will need to perform a security relearn procedure (also known as a key relearn or anti-theft relearn). This process syncs the new ECM with your vehicle’s keys and can typically be done without special tools. Instructions are readily available online for your specific model.
Is this a used part?
This is a high-quality, tested, and fully functional used OEM part. Each unit is inspected and then programmed with the latest software for your specific VIN to ensure it meets or exceeds original performance standards.
How do I know if the ECM is really the problem?
While the symptoms listed are strong indicators, it’s always best to have a proper diagnosis performed by a qualified mechanic. This involves checking for trouble codes, verifying power and ground signals to the ECM, and ruling out other potential causes like faulty sensors or wiring.
Will this fix my car’s specific issue?
If your vehicle’s issues have been correctly diagnosed as a faulty ECM, this part is the correct solution. It restores the engine management system to proper working order, resolving problems caused by the original module’s failure.
