Frequently Asked Questions
What do I need to do after I purchase this ECM?
After you complete your purchase, you must provide us with your vehicle’s 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). We need this to program the module specifically for your car before we can ship it.
Is this part difficult to install?
The physical installation is straightforward for someone with basic mechanical skills, as it involves disconnecting the battery and swapping the module. However, some GM vehicles may require a simple ‘Security Relearn’ procedure after installation, which can typically be done without special tools. Instructions can be readily found online or in a service manual.
How do I know if the ECM is really my problem?
While this part fixes all ECM-related failures, we strongly recommend a proper diagnosis by a qualified mechanic to confirm the ECM is the point of failure. Checking for specific communication codes (like P0601) is a strong indicator.
What does ‘programmed to my VIN’ actually mean?
It means we load the computer with the exact software and calibrations your vehicle was built with. This includes settings for your engine, transmission, tire size, and other factory options, ensuring all systems work together correctly.
Will this fit vehicles other than the HHR?
Yes, this ECM is also the correct fit for the 2008-2010 Chevrolet Cobalt, Pontiac Solstice, and Saturn Sky models equipped with the 2.0L turbocharged engine.
