Frequently Asked Questions
Why do you need my VIN?
Your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) is essential. It allows us to access the exact GM software calibration file for your specific vehicle, including engine type, transmission, and other options. This ensures the 2008 Hummer H3 ECM we send you is a perfect match and functions correctly right out of the box.
Is this difficult to install?
The physical installation is typically straightforward for someone with basic mechanical skills. It involves disconnecting the battery, unplugging the electrical connectors, and unbolting the old module. After installing the new one, you will need to perform a security relearn procedure (often called a CASE relearn or anti-theft relearn), which can usually be done without special tools. Instructions are widely available online for your specific model.
Do I need to have my old ECM?
No, you do not need to send us your old or failing module. Our service is a direct sale, programmed and shipped to you, simplifying the process and getting you back on the road faster.
Will this fix my check engine light?
If the check engine light and associated codes are caused by a faulty ECM, this part is the correct solution. After installation, all fault codes should be cleared with a standard OBD2 scanner to confirm the repair was successful.
What if I have other modifications on my vehicle?
This ECM is programmed with the original factory GM calibration. It is designed to work with stock vehicle configurations. It is not designed to account for significant aftermarket engine or powertrain modifications.
