Once you install it, it will immediately communicate with your vehicle’s systems without needing any additional programming from a dealership or specialized scan tool.
Do I need to send you my old ECM?
No core charge or return is required for this part. You can keep your old module, which saves you the time and expense of shipping it back.

Will this fix my transmission shifting problems?
In many cases, erratic shifting can be caused by incorrect data from a failing ECM.

It’s always best to have a qualified mechanic diagnose the root cause.
