Expert Mechanic’s Insight: The Critical Role of VIN Programming
“Over my 20 years in the shop, I’ve seen countless vehicle owners try to save a few dollars by installing a used, non-programmed ECM from a salvage yard. It almost never works. Modern vehicles have sophisticated anti-theft and communication systems (like GM’s Passlock/Immobilizer) that are tied directly to the VIN. A mismatched module will cause a no-start condition every time. Our process of programming the 2009-2012 Colorado programmed ECM to your specific VIN before shipping eliminates this entire problem. It ensures all the modules in your truck recognize each other, function correctly, and get you running right the first time.”
