Frequently Asked Questions
How do I provide my VIN number?
You can add your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) in the notes section during checkout. If you forget, we will contact you via email after your purchase to retrieve it before we program and ship your module.
Is this really a plug-and-play installation?
Yes, for the vast majority of vehicles. The module is programmed to start and run your vehicle. Some GM models may require a simple, 10-minute security relearn procedure (often called a Passlock or VATS relearn) which does not require any special tools. We can provide instructions for this process.
What does ‘flashed with the newest updates’ actually mean?
Vehicle manufacturers like GM regularly release software updates for their modules to fix bugs, improve transmission shifting, increase fuel efficiency, and solve other performance issues discovered after the vehicle was sold. We ensure your replacement ECM has this latest, most refined software loaded onto it.
How do I confirm this is the right part for my vehicle?
The best way is to match the service number from your existing ECM to one of the numbers listed in our description (e.g., 12636659, 12639300, etc.). If you are unsure, please contact us with your VIN before ordering, and we will be happy to verify compatibility for you.
Will I need to have my keys reprogrammed?
No, your existing keys will continue to work with the vehicle. The security information is not stored in a way that requires key reprogramming for this specific ECM replacement.
