Restore Your Car’s Performance and Reliability
Is your Chevrolet, Pontiac, or GM vehicle acting erratically? Stalling, running rough, or flashing a persistent Check Engine Light can be incredibly frustrating, especially when you rely on your car for daily life. A faulty Engine Control Module (ECM) is often the hidden culprit behind these issues, disrupting communication between your engine’s critical systems. This pre-programmed ECM is the definitive solution, designed to get you back on the road quickly and confidently, without the exorbitant costs and delays of a dealership visit.

Expert Insight: The Critical Role of Correct Programming
Many people don’t realize that an ECM is not a simple ‘one-size-fits-all’ part. Each one must be calibrated to the specific VIN of the vehicle, which includes details about its engine, transmission, and factory options. Installing a non-programmed or incorrectly programmed module can lead to a no-start condition, transmission shifting problems, or even damage to other components. We take the guesswork out of the equation. By programming the 2009-2011 Aveo ECM before it ships, we ensure it communicates flawlessly with your car’s systems from the moment you connect it.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I provide my vehicle’s VIN?
After you complete your purchase, simply reply to your order confirmation email with your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). We cannot ship your part until we receive this information for programming.
Will I need to do any additional programming after installation?
No, the core programming is complete. However, on some vehicles, you may need to perform a simple ‘relearn’ procedure, such as a security relearn or crankshaft position sensor relearn. These procedures can typically be done without special tools and instructions are widely available online for your specific model.
Is this a new part?
This is a quality, inspected, and tested component that has been verified to meet or exceed original equipment performance standards. Each unit is programmed and validated before shipment.
Will this definitely fix my car’s problem?
This 2009-2011 Aveo ECM is the correct solution for a faulty engine computer. However, it’s crucial that your vehicle has been properly diagnosed. This part will not fix issues related to other faulty components like sensors, wiring, or mechanical problems. We recommend a thorough diagnosis by a qualified mechanic to confirm the ECM is the point of failure.
What if my original part number is not on the list?
