An Expert’s Note on VIN Programming
As a technician, I’ve seen countless vehicle owners try to save a few dollars by installing a used ECM from a junkyard. Almost every time, it leads to more problems. Without VIN-specific programming, the module won’t communicate with the other computers in your vehicle, like the transmission controller or anti-theft system. This can result in a vehicle that still won’t start or runs even worse than before. Our pre-programming service isn’t just a convenience; it’s the essential step that makes this repair successful, saving you time, money, and headaches.
By choosing this expertly prepared 2008-2009 Uplander ECM 19210737, you’re not just buying a part; you’re buying a complete, hassle-free solution to get your family’s vehicle running safely and reliably again.

After you complete your purchase, we will contact you to request your VIN. Please have it ready to ensure there are no delays in programming and shipping your part. Your VIN can be found on your vehicle’s dashboard (visible through the windshield) or on your insurance and registration documents.
My original part number isn’t 19210737. Will this still work?
Yes, most likely. This ECM, service number 19210737, is the designated replacement for many earlier part numbers, including 12590032, 12602044, and others listed in the description. As long as your vehicle is listed in our fitment guide, this programmed module is the correct part for you.
Will I need to perform a security or CASE relearn procedure?
In most cases, the module is ready to go.

This does not require any special tools and instructions can easily be found online or in your owner’s manual.
What specific problems does a new ECM fix?
Replacing a faulty ECM can solve a wide range of issues, including but not limited to: false sensor codes, poor idling, engine misfires, reduced power, incorrect fuel mixture, and failure to pass emissions tests. It is the central command unit for your engine’s operation.
