Frequently Asked Questions
Why do you need my vehicle’s VIN?
Your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) is essential. It allows us to load the exact software and calibrations your car was built with. This ensures proper function of the engine, transmission, anti-theft system, and other vehicle-specific options. Without it, the module will not work correctly.
Is this part difficult to install?
The physical installation is typically straightforward, involving disconnecting the battery and swapping the module. However, after installation, you will likely need to perform a security relearn procedure (also known as a CASE relearn or anti-theft relearn). This pairs the new ECM to your vehicle’s keys and security system. This procedure can often be done without special tools and instructions are widely available online for your specific model.
My original ECM has a different part number on it. Will this one work?
Yes. Manufacturers frequently update and supersede part numbers over time. This ECM, service number 12630457, is the correct, updated replacement for all the interchangeable numbers listed in the description (e.g., 12590032, 12607096, etc.). As long as your vehicle is on the compatibility list, this is the right part.
Do I need to send my old ECM back?
There is no core charge for this part. You are not required to return your old engine control module to us.
What is covered by the warranty?
This unit is backed by our one-year replacement warranty. In the unlikely event of a defect within one year of purchase, we will provide a replacement unit.
