Is your 2008 or 2009 Saturn Aura suffering from perplexing issues like a persistent check engine light, rough idling, stalling, or a sudden drop in fuel economy?

This direct-fit replacement ECM, part number 12607096, is the definitive solution to get your vehicle running smoothly and reliably again.

We once had a 2008 Saturn Aura come in with a classic no-start condition. The owner had already replaced the battery and starter with no success. The codes pointed towards a potential ECM failure, but before swapping the expensive module, we did a full systems check. We found a corroded ground strap near the engine block that was causing intermittent voltage drops to the computer. After cleaning and securing the ground connection, the car started perfectly. It’s a powerful reminder: while this 2008-2009 Aura Engine Control Module is often the culprit, always verify your main power and ground connections before finalizing your diagnosis.
