Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to take this part to a dealer for programming?
No. The main benefit of our service is that we program the module to your vehicle’s specific VIN before we ship it to you. This makes the installation process much simpler and saves you from expensive dealership programming fees.
How do I provide my VIN?
After you complete your purchase, you will need to send us a message with your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). We cannot program and ship your part without it. You can find your VIN on your vehicle’s dashboard (visible through the windshield) or on your registration and insurance documents.
What if my original part number is different from 12630457?
This module is a direct replacement for a wide range of GM service numbers. As long as your original part number is on the interchange list in the description (e.g., 12590032, 12602044, 12603530, etc.), this unit will be a compatible replacement for your vehicle.
Will I need to perform any other procedures after installation?
In many cases, it is a simple plug-and-play installation. However, some GM vehicles may require a simple security relearn procedure, which involves cycling the key in the ignition. This syncs the new ECM with your vehicle’s anti-theft system and can typically be done in your driveway without any special tools.
Will this fix my check engine light?
If the check engine light is on due to a fault within the ECM itself, this part will resolve the issue. However, if the light is on because of a separate faulty sensor or component on the vehicle, that issue will still need to be addressed. This Programmed 2006 Chevy HHR ECM 12630457 ensures the vehicle’s ‘brain’ is functioning perfectly.
