Frequently Asked Questions
How do I provide my Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)?
After you complete your purchase, you will need to send us your 17-digit VIN. You can typically find this on your vehicle’s registration, insurance card, or on a small plate on the driver’s side of the dashboard visible through the windshield.
Does this module require any additional programming after installation?
No. This ECM comes fully programmed to your VIN and is ready for installation. In some cases, a security or crank-angle sensor relearn procedure may be necessary, which can be performed with a capable scan tool or by following a specific vehicle procedure.
Is this a difficult part to install?
The physical installation is typically straightforward for someone with basic mechanical skills. It usually involves disconnecting the battery, unplugging the electrical connectors, and unbolting the old module. However, we always recommend installation by a qualified technician to ensure all procedures are followed correctly.
Will this fix my specific check engine light codes?
This ECM is the correct solution for codes related to internal module failure, such as P0601 (Internal Control Module Memory Check Sum Error). While it can resolve many other issues, it’s crucial to have your vehicle properly diagnosed to ensure the ECM is the root cause of the problem before ordering.
What happens if I install it without providing a VIN?
The module will not function correctly. The VIN-specific programming is essential for the ECM to communicate with the other electronic systems in your vehicle. We cannot ship the part until we have your VIN to program it.
