An Expert’s Note on ECM Replacement: From over 20 years of hands-on diagnostics, I can tell you that an ECM is more than just a part—it’s the brain of your vehicle. A common mistake is buying a used module from a salvage yard, only to discover it won’t work because it’s locked to the donor car’s VIN and options. This creates more headaches, wasted time, and lost money. Our VIN-programming service ensures the module we send you is a perfect digital match for your car, bypassing that common and costly pitfall entirely.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I provide my VIN number?
After you complete your purchase, you will need to send us a message with your 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). 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 plate on the driver’s side dashboard visible through the windshield.
Is any additional programming needed after I install it?
No. This ECM is a true plug-and-play solution. We flash it with the latest GM updates and program it to your specific VIN before it ships. In most cases, you will not need to perform any additional programming. However, some vehicles may require a simple security or CASE relearn procedure, which can be done with a capable scan tool.
Will this fix my car’s specific problem?
This ECM is a common solution for many electronic and performance-related issues. While it corrects the vast majority of problems stemming from a failed computer, it’s crucial to ensure your vehicle has been properly diagnosed. We recommend confirming with a qualified mechanic that the ECM is the source of the issue before purchasing.
Where is the ECM located on my 2011 Chevy Cruze?
On the 2011-2012 Chevrolet Cruze with the 1.8L engine, the ECM is typically located in the engine bay, mounted to the side of the battery tray. It’s an aluminum box with several large electrical connectors. Always disconnect the vehicle’s battery before attempting to remove or install the module.
What if I have an issue after installation?
Your purchase is protected. This unit is backed by our one-year replacement warranty. If you encounter any issues with the module itself within the warranty period, please contact us immediately. Our team of experts is here to help diagnose the problem and facilitate a replacement if necessary.
