Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to do any programming myself?
No. This ECM arrives fully programmed to your vehicle’s specific VIN number. In most cases, it is a simple plug-and-play installation. Some vehicles may require a security relearn procedure, which can be done without any special tools by cycling the ignition key.
How do I provide my VIN?
After you complete your purchase, you will need to send us your vehicle’s 17-digit VIN (Vehicle Identification Number). We cannot program and ship the module without it. You can typically find your VIN on your vehicle’s registration, insurance card, or on a placard on the driver’s side dashboard visible through the windshield.
What is a security relearn procedure?
It is a simple process that allows your vehicle’s anti-theft system to recognize the new ECM. It typically involves turning the key to the ‘ON’ position for 10-15 minutes, then ‘OFF’, and repeating this cycle three times. We will provide general instructions, but the exact procedure can vary slightly by model.
Will this fix my specific problem?
This module is the definitive solution for issues directly caused by a failing ECM, such as certain no-start conditions, multiple unrelated error codes, and specific communication faults. While it resolves the most common electronic engine issues, we always recommend a proper diagnosis by a qualified mechanic to confirm the ECM is the point of failure.
Is this a guaranteed fit for my vehicle?
Yes, as long as your vehicle is listed in our compatibility chart and your original module carries one of the listed part numbers, this is a guaranteed direct-fit replacement. Providing your VIN for programming ensures it will function correctly with your car’s specific options.
