Do I need to have this ECM programmed by a dealer?
No. This engine computer comes fully programmed to the VIN and mileage you provide during checkout. It is a true plug-and-play solution, ready for installation right out of the box.
Is this a difficult part to install?

It is located in the engine compartment on the passenger side.
How do I know for sure that my ECM is the problem?
While a professional diagnosis is always best, common signs of ECM failure include a no-start condition, intermittent stalling, multiple unrelated trouble codes, or specific internal module fault codes like P0601. If you’ve checked major sensors and wiring, the ECM is a very likely culprit.
