An Expert’s Note on VIN Programming: Why is providing your VIN so important? Modern vehicles have complex anti-theft and communication networks. An unprogrammed ECM won’t just fail to work—it can actively prevent your car from starting by not recognizing your keys or other security modules. Our VIN-flashing service pre-authorizes the ECM for your exact car, making the installation process as simple as swapping the part and, in some cases, performing a simple security relearn procedure. This saves you hundreds in dealer programming fees and hours of diagnostic headaches.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I provide my VIN number?
After you complete your purchase, simply reply to your order confirmation email with your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN. We cannot ship your part until we receive this information, as the programming is specific to your car.
Is this part difficult 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, some vehicles may require a security or crankshaft position sensor relearn procedure, which can be done with certain high-end scan tools or by following a specific manual procedure. We recommend consulting a service manual for your exact vehicle.
Will this fix my car’s problem for sure?
While this 2010-2011 SAAB 9-5 Engine Control Module is the solution for the symptoms listed, it’s crucial to have a proper diagnosis performed.
