Frequently Asked Questions
What does “Plug & Play” actually mean?
It means the engine computer we send you is pre-programmed with your vehicle’s specific Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and security information. Once you receive it, you simply disconnect the old unit and connect this one. No additional programming or trips to a mechanic are needed to get the car started and running correctly.
What information do you need from me to program it?
We will need your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN to ensure the module is programmed correctly. You can typically find this on your vehicle’s registration, insurance card, or on a plate on the driver’s side dashboard visible through the windshield.
How do I know for sure that my ECM is the problem?
While the symptoms listed above are strong indicators, a definitive diagnosis from a qualified mechanic is always recommended. Common signs include internal processor fault codes (like P0601), lack of communication with a scan tool, or having ruled out all other potential causes like sensors or wiring.
Is this compatible with my Jeep Compass?
Yes, this unit is also compatible with 2015-2016 Jeep Compass models and the 2017 Jeep Compass ‘classic style’ (with the vertical rear door handle) that use the ID 5150941AB. Please verify the part number on your original module to ensure a perfect match.
Do I need to send my old computer (core) back?
No core charge or return is required for this part. You can keep, recycle, or dispose of your old module at your convenience.
