Frequently Asked Questions
What is the process after I place my order?
It’s simple. After you complete your purchase, you will need to provide us with your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN. Our technicians will then program the module with the correct, updated software for your exact vehicle. We will then ship the ready-to-install module directly to you.
Is this part truly “plug and play”?
Yes, for the vast majority of vehicles, this module is a direct plug-and-play solution. Once installed, the engine will start and run correctly. In some specific GM vehicles, a security relearn procedure (often called a CASE relearn or anti-theft relearn) may be required. This is a simple procedure that can often be done without special tools and instructions can be readily found online.
How do I find my vehicle’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 module has a different part number. Will this still work?
Absolutely. This ECM, service number 12603530, is the updated replacement for many older part numbers. We’ve provided an extensive interchange list in the description. As long as your vehicle is listed and we program the module to your VIN, it will function correctly as the proper replacement for your specific 2007-2008 SAAB 9-7X ECM 12603530.
Do I need to send my old ECM (core) back?
No core charge or return is required for this particular part. You can keep or responsibly dispose of your old module.
