Restore Your Solstice’s Heartbeat & Performance
Is your Pontiac Solstice running rough, throwing confusing check engine lights, or refusing to start?

An Expert’s Note on Programming
As a technician with over two decades of experience, I’ve seen countless drivers chase phantom issues, replacing perfectly good sensors and parts, only to find the ECM was the root cause. The single most critical step in replacing a modern ECM is the programming. An improperly programmed or non-programmed module won’t just run poorlyโit can fail to start the car at all. Our process of programming the unit to your VIN ensures all the specific parameters and security protocols for your exact vehicle are correctly loaded. This is the same process a high-end shop would use, but delivered right to your door.
By installing this precision-programmed 2006 Pontiac Solstice engine control module, you are not just buying a part; you are restoring your vehicle’s core operational integrity. It’s the key to turning the key with confidence and enjoying every drive. Please provide your VIN at checkout so we can begin the programming process and get your part shipped out promptly.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to have this computer programmed by a dealer?
No. This is the biggest benefit of our service. We program the engine control module to the VIN you provide before we ship it. It will arrive ready to be installed in your vehicle without any additional programming required.
What information do you need from me?
After you complete your purchase, we will need the 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) from your 2006 Pontiac Solstice. You can typically find this on your vehicle’s dashboard (visible through the windshield) or on your registration and insurance documents.
Will this fix my check engine light?
If the check engine light is on due to an internal failure of the ECM (common diagnostic trouble codes include P0601-P0606), then this part will resolve the issue. It is always recommended to have your vehicle properly diagnosed to confirm the ECM is the point of failure before ordering.
Is this part difficult to install?
For the 2006 Solstice, the ECM is located on the left-hand front frame rail. Installation is straightforward for someone with basic mechanical skills. It typically involves disconnecting the battery, unplugging the electrical connectors, and unbolting the old unit to swap in the new one. We always recommend consulting a repair manual for your specific vehicle.
How does the warranty work?
This unit is backed by our one-year replacement warranty. In the unlikely event of a part failure within one year of purchase, we will provide a replacement unit. Please contact us for details on the process.
Does this fit vehicles other than the Solstice?
Yes. While this listing is focused on the 2006 Pontiac Solstice engine control module, this part is interchangeable across a very wide range of GM vehicles, including models from Cadillac, Chevrolet, Buick, Saturn, and more. Please refer to the detailed fitment list on this page to confirm compatibility with your specific vehicle.
