An Expert’s Note on ECM Programming
As a technician with over two decades of experience, I can’t stress this enough: proper programming is everything. An ECM is the brain of your HHR’s engine. Simply installing a used one from another vehicle won’t work because it’s programmed for that car’s specific options, security system (Passlock/VATS), and emissions equipment. Our VIN-programming service isn’t just a convenience; it’s a critical step that ensures every component of your vehicle communicates correctly, just as the engineers intended. This is how you get a lasting, reliable repair, not just a temporary fix.
This Programmed 2006 Chevy HHR ECM is also a direct replacement for a wide range of other GM vehicles. Please verify your part number or consult the extensive fitment list to confirm compatibility with service numbers: 12590032, 12602044, 12603530, 12605843, 12607096, and 12630457.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to do any special programming or flashing myself?
Absolutely not. The module will arrive fully programmed to the VIN you provide. The installation is straightforward—disconnect the battery, swap the modules, and reconnect the battery. In some cases, a security relearn procedure may be required, which is a simple process that can be done without any special tools.
Where do I provide my vehicle’s VIN?
After you complete your purchase, we will send you an email requesting your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN. You can also add it to the ‘notes’ section during checkout. We cannot ship your order until we receive the VIN, as the programming is a critical part of the process.
Is this a brand new part from the dealer?
This is a high-quality, tested original equipment (OEM) part. These units are sourced from vehicles and then put through a comprehensive inspection and testing process to ensure they meet or exceed factory specifications, providing you with a reliable part at an excellent value.
What if my original part number doesn’t match 19210737 exactly?
This ECM is interchangeable with several other GM service numbers, including 12590032, 12602044, and more. As long as your vehicle is on the compatibility list and you have one of the listed service numbers, this module will work perfectly once programmed to your VIN.
Will this fix my car’s communication issues?
A faulty ECM is a very common cause of communication errors with diagnostic scan tools (U-codes). While this module often resolves those issues, it’s always wise to first check your vehicle’s fuses, grounds, and wiring to the OBD-II port to rule out a simpler problem.
