Is Your 2006 Pontiac Pursuit Experiencing Critical Engine Problems?
If your 2006 Pontiac Pursuit is suffering from issues like a persistent Check Engine Light, erratic engine behavior, stalling, or a complete no-start condition, a failing Engine Control Module (ECM) is a very likely culprit. The ECM is the central computer of your vehicle, responsible for managing everything from fuel injection and ignition timing to emissions systems and transmission shifting. When it fails, it can cause a wide range of frustrating and potentially damaging problems, leaving your vehicle unreliable and unsafe to drive.
Expert Pro Tip: Before replacing your ECM, always perform a thorough check of the vehicle’s battery, charging system, and all main power and ground connections to the module. A corroded ground wire or poor connection can mimic the symptoms of a failed ECM, leading to a costly misdiagnosis. A simple voltage drop test on the main power and ground circuits can save you time and money.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this module difficult to install?
The physical installation is typically straightforward, involving disconnecting the battery, unplugging the electrical connectors, and unbolting the old module. However, because it is a sensitive electronic component, we recommend installation by a qualified technician if you are not comfortable with automotive electrical work.
What happens if I install this without it being programmed?
An unprogrammed ECM will not allow the vehicle to start due to the anti-theft system (Passlock/VATS). It also won’t have the correct software for your specific engine, transmission, and options, leading to poor performance and error codes. Our VIN programming service is essential for proper function.
How do I find my vehicle’s VIN?
Your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) can be found on a metal plate on the driver’s side dashboard (visible through the windshield), on the driver’s side door jamb sticker, or on your vehicle’s registration and insurance documents.
Will this part fix my car’s problem for certain?
This module will correct any issues directly caused by a faulty ECM. While the symptoms listed are very common for ECM failure, other issues (like faulty wiring or sensors) can sometimes cause similar problems. A proper diagnosis by a professional is the best way to ensure you’re replacing the correct part.
Do I need to send my old module back?
No core charge or return is required for this part. You can keep or dispose of your old module as you see fit.
