An Expert’s Note on VIN Programming
As a technician, I’ve seen countless drivers frustrated by replacement modules that don’t work correctly. The secret is in the programming.

This critical step prevents a host of issues and makes the installation process straightforward.

We’ll ship you a module that’s ready to install, getting you back to a smooth and confident driving experience. This is the right choice for your 2006 Chevy HHR ECM replacement.
Frequently Asked Questions
What do I need to do after I purchase?
After you place your order, you must provide us with your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN (Vehicle Identification Number). We cannot program and ship the module without it. You can typically find your VIN on your vehicle’s registration, insurance card, or on the driver’s side dashboard viewable through the windshield.
Is this ECM difficult to install?
The physical installation is straightforward for someone with basic mechanical skills. It’s a plug-and-play part. In some cases, a simple ‘security relearn’ procedure may be required after installation, which can typically be done without special tools. Instructions are widely available online for this process.
Will this fix my check engine light?
If the check engine light is caused by a faulty ECM, then yes, this part will resolve the issue. However, it’s crucial to ensure the problem has been properly diagnosed. This module will not fix issues caused by other bad sensors or mechanical problems.
