Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to have this module programmed by a dealer?
No. This module arrives pre-programmed to the VIN you provide during checkout. It is ready for installation right out of the box, saving you a trip to the dealership and their high programming fees.
What information do you need from me?
After you complete your purchase, you must provide us with your vehicle’s 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). We cannot ship your part until we receive this information, as it is required for programming.
Will I need to perform any additional procedures after installation?
In most cases, you will need to perform a simple security relearn procedure (often called a Passlock or anti-theft relearn) which can be done without special tools. Some vehicles may also require a Crankshaft Position Sensor (CASE) relearn, which requires a compatible scan tool. Instructions for the security relearn are readily available online for your specific model.
How do I find my car’s VIN?
Your VIN can be found in several places: on a metal plate on the driver’s side of the dashboard (visible through the windshield), on the driver’s side door jamb sticker, and on your vehicle’s registration and insurance documents.
My original part number is different. Will this still work?
Yes. This ECM is a direct replacement for a range of GM service numbers, including 12590032, 12602044, 12603530, and others listed in the description. As long as your original part number is on our interchange list, this module will function correctly in your vehicle once programmed to your VIN.
What does the warranty cover?
This unit is backed by our one-year replacement warranty. This covers the part itself in the event of failure within one year from the date of purchase.
