Expert Insight: The Critical Role of Correct Programming
For a high-performance vehicle like the Cadillac XLR, the ECM’s software is incredibly complex. It manages hundreds of parameters in real-time. Simply installing a used, non-programmed module is a recipe for disaster. It can lead to incorrect engine operation, transmission damage, and persistent security system lockouts.
