Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to program this ECM?
No. This ECM comes fully programmed to your vehicle’s specific VIN. It is ready to be installed upon arrival, saving you a trip to the dealership.
What information do you need from me?
After you complete your purchase, you will need to provide us with your vehicle’s 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). We cannot ship your part until we receive it.
Where is the ECM located on a 2007 Malibu?
For the 2007 Chevrolet Malibu with the 3.5L or 3.9L engine, the Engine Control Module is typically located in the lower part of the air cleaner box assembly in the engine compartment.
Will this fix my check engine light?
If the check engine light is caused by a faulty ECM (for example, with codes like P0601 or P0606), then this part will solve the issue. However, if the light is on due to other failing components (like a bad oxygen sensor or catalytic converter), those issues will still need to be addressed separately.
Is any extra setup required after I install it?
In some cases, a security relearn procedure (also known as a Passlock or anti-theft relearn) may be required after installation. This is a simple procedure that can typically be done without special tools and involves a sequence of key turns. Instructions are widely available online for your specific vehicle.
