Get Your Car Back on the Road, Hassle-Free
Is your Chevrolet Aveo, Cruze, or Sonic suddenly running rough, stalling at intersections, or showing a persistent Check Engine Light? A failing Engine Control Module (ECM) is a common cause for these frustrating and stressful issues. It’s the brain of your vehicle, and when it falters, it can feel like you’ve lost a reliable partner. This isn’t just another part; it’s the definitive solution to restore your vehicle’s performance and give you back the peace of mind you deserve on every drive.

From the Technician’s Bench: Why VIN Programming is Non-Negotiable
Many people wonder why we need your VIN. On modern GM vehicles, the ECM is integrated with the anti-theft (immobilizer) system, transmission controls, and specific options your car was built with. A generic, non-programmed module from a salvage yard won’t allow the car to start. Our VIN-specific programming ensures that the new ECM communicates perfectly with all other systems in your vehicle, just like the original did. It’s the critical step that transforms a complex electronic repair into a simple, straightforward installation. This is why we provide a fully Programmed 2009-2011 Aveo ECM tailored to your exact car.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to do any programming myself?
Absolutely not. This ECM is a complete plug-and-play solution. We handle all the programming using your VIN before we ship the part. All you need to do is install it.
How do I provide my VIN?
After you complete your purchase, simply send us a message with your 17-digit VIN. You can also add it as a note to your order during checkout. We cannot ship your part until we receive this information.
How can I be sure this fits my vehicle?
This module fits the models listed in the description (Aveo, Cruze, Sonic, etc.). The best way to ensure 100% compatibility is to provide us with your VIN. We will verify the fitment before programming your new Programmed 2009-2011 Aveo ECM.
What does the ECM actually do?
The Engine Control Module is the central computer of your vehicle. It controls critical functions like fuel-to-air ratio, ignition timing, idle speed, and transmission shift points to ensure the engine runs efficiently and reliably.
What if my Check Engine Light is still on after installation?
While this ECM will fix issues related to a faulty module, it’s possible your vehicle has other underlying problems. We recommend clearing all codes after installation. If a light returns, have the new code scanned to identify any separate issues that need attention.
What is the warranty on this part?
This unit is backed by our one-year replacement warranty, giving you confidence in your repair.
